Johan Rojas, the Philadelphia Phillies' outfielder, has experienced a troubling decline in his performance, leaving the team in a precarious position as the trade deadline approaches. Initially, Rojas showed promise early in the season, hitting .288 in April, but has since struggled significantly, posting a mere .167 in May and an alarming .133 in June. With only seven hits in his last 59 at-bats, frustration is mounting within the organization.

As the Phillies continue to perform well, sitting at 48-34 and leading the division, questions arise regarding whether they can afford to keep Rojas on the roster. His defensive skills are valued; however, his offensive struggles raise concerns about his role moving forward. Management may seek to remedy the outfield situation at the upcoming trade deadline, placing pressure on GM Dave Dombrowski to make necessary adjustments.
