Cuban left-hander Kendry Rojas has been promoted to Double-A New Hampshire. 
The 22-year-old was lights out in Single-A, tossing 13 scoreless innings with 18 strikeouts and holding opponents to a .122 batting average.

Rojas, 22, has spent the entire season on the Injured List, but has recently been rehabbing in the lower minors. With the Florida Complex League Blue Jays, he allowed two runs in five innings of work, but has been dominant with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, not allowing a single run in 13 innings of work. Additionally, Rojas has a 39.1 K% and a 6.5 BB% at the level.

The left-handed <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/blue-jays-nations-pre-season-prospect-countdown-no-8-kendry-rojas">Cuban ranked as our eighth-best prospect</a> heading into this season and is well <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-blue-jays-kenry-rojas-ready-for-new-hampshire-fisher-cats">deserving of this promotion</a>. Last season, which was mainly spent in High-A, Rojas finished with a 2.43 ERA and a 3.02 FIP in 55.2 innings pitched. From July 26 until the year, Rojas pitched in seven games, finishing with a quality start in all but one.
Rojas signed with the Blue Jays in 2020 for a bonus of $215,000. His first season saw him post a 2.28 ERA and a 2.04 FIP in 23.2 innings pitched in the FCL. He followed that up with a 3.98 ERA and a 3.06 FIP in 40.2 innings pitched in 2023, mainly with the D-Jays. In 2023, Rojas finished with a 3.75 ERA and 4.34 FIP in 84 innings pitched.
His results in the Arizona Fall League weren&#8217;t great, but he has rebounded nicely since coming off the Injured List.
There isn’t a high likelihood that he will impact the Blue Jays this season, but if he pitches well in the upper minors, there’s a chance he could be of use to the Blue Jays 26-man roster next season. He’s a four-pitch pitcher, featuring a sinker, four-seam fastball, changeup, and slider, with the fastball averaging around 95 mph.
Rojas is one of the more exciting pitching prospects in the Jays, and just look at his pitching percentiles per <a href="https://prospectsavant.com/player/696070">Prospect Savant</a>.
Other moves saw Je&#8217;Von Ward promoted to Double-A with Rojas, while <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/under-the-radar-blue-jays-prospect-jay-harry">Jay Harry</a> was sent to the Vancouver Canadians.
