Chicago White Sox infielder Josh Rojas is facing uncertainty for opening day due to a hairline fracture in his right big toe. Rojas, who has been performing well during spring training with a batting average of .313, experienced toe soreness in a recent game. Manager Will Venable emphasized the importance of a cautious and gradual treatment approach for Rojas. The 30-year-old player, who previously played for Seattle, signed a one-year contract worth $3.5 million with the White Sox earlier this year.
"We're just kind of going to give him treatment and see where it goes," first-year manager Will Venable told reporters Monday. "I think we just kind of get him doing his treatment and his rehab and kind of take it day by day and see where he's at. Hopefully, he's back here with us soon."
Rojas is batting .313 (10-for-32) in his first spring training with the White Sox. He left Saturday's split-squad game against Colorado with toe soreness.
Rojas finalized a one-year, $3.5 million contract with Chicago in January. The White Sox host the Los Angeles Angels for their season opener March 27.
The 30-year-old Rojas batted .225 with 8 homers and 31 RBIs in 143 games with Seattle last year. He became a free agent in November when Seattle declined to offer him a contract.
