This was far from what the Blue Jays expected in Rojas' first Arizona Fall League game as he had a great season in Single-a and high-a ball with a 3.75 ERA across the board in 20 games with 82 strikeouts.
Last season, Rojas enjoyed a breakout performance at single-A Dunedin, posting a 3.75 ERA and 4.34 FIP with 82 punchouts across 20 games (15 starts) with the minor-league Blue Jays. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury cost the young lefty over two months this year, limiting him to 62.2 innings across three levels (Complex League, single-A, high-A). -Hall
Hopefully the young pitcher will be able to bounce back in his next outing as the team clearly expects a lot more from him moving forward.
