Exits 40-man roster The Reds designated Rosario for assignment Monday.
Impact The team needed to make a couple 40-man roster moves in order to activate two players from the 60-day injured list. Rosario is set to be a free agent this offseason, so this will simply allow him to reach the market a few days earlier. He hit .280/.306/.380 with three homers and 13 steals for the Rays, Dodgers and Reds in 2024.

Losing out on regular role Rosario is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact After a recent stretch of 10 starts in an 11-game span, Rosario now finds himself on the bench for the second straight day, with both absences coming against right-handed pitchers. Though Rosario looked to be gaining traction as the Reds' primary designated hitter, the Reds have seemingly pulled the plug on using him as an everyday player while he's managed a lowly .184/.216/.245 slash line since being claimed off waivers from the Dodgers on Aug. 18. The Reds may instead prefer to rotate a number of players at the DH spot rather than giving consistent at-bats to the struggling Rosario.

Absent from lineup Rosario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in St. Louis.
Impact Rosario had started in the designated hitter spot in eight of the last nine games, but get a day off Wednesday. Noelvi Marte will serve as the Reds' DH in this one.

Regular lineup presence Rosario started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.
Impact Rosario, who started for the eighth time in the last nine games, is getting plenty of opportunities but doesn't hold much fantasy value. Since joining the Reds in the middle of August, Rosario is batting .205 (9-for-44) with a home run, three RBI and six runs scored. Where may be useful is in steals; the utility infielder has swiped three in 16 games for Cincinnati and 13 for the season.
SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from lineup Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Impact Rosario has gone 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts over his last four games, and he will sit for Sunday's series finale. Santiago Espinal will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth against Mets right-hander Luis Severino.

Fifth straight start Rosario will start at designated hitter and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Astros.
Impact It's the fifth straight start overall and fourth straight start against a righty for Rosario, who is traditionally a much better hitter versus left-handed pitching. He's slashing .250/.300/.357 with one home run and two stolen bases in 10 games since joining Cincinnati. Rosario could continue to play pretty regularly while Jeimer Candelario (toe) is out.

Impact Rosario singled, stole second base and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly as part of the Reds' two-run second inning. The steal was his 12th of the season and second since the Reds claimed him off waivers from the Dodgers on Aug. 18. He had been getting semi-regular work since joining the Reds, but Jake Fraley's return from the injured list Sunday is expected to curb Rosario's opportunities.

Impact Rosario singled, stole a base and scored as part of the Reds' four-run fourth inning. It was the second straight start in right field for Rosario, who was claimed by Cincinnati last week. With Jake Fraley (knee) landing on the injured list Thursday, there could be more opportunities for Rosario.

Impact The 29-year-old was designated for assignment Monday by the Dodgers to make room on the roster for Mookie Betts' return from the injured list, and Rosario will now make his way to Cincinnati. Rosario has a .305/.331/.415 slash line with two homers and 10 stolen bases in 81 games between Tampa Bay and Los Angeles this season.

Loses roster spot to Betts The Dodgers designated Rosario for assignment Monday.
Impact Just two weeks after the Dodgers acquired him from the Rays, Rosario second stint in Los Angeles will come to an end after he appeared in just five games for the club while going 3-for-11 at the plate. With the Dodgers needing to open up room on the active roster for Mookie Betts' (hand) return from the 10-day injured list, Rosario ended up being the casualty. Rosario will have the ability to elect free agency if no other team is willing to claim him off waivers and cover the money remaining on his $1.5 million salary for 2024.

He's now reached double digit steals in every year of his career besides for the shortened pandemic season and when he was a rookie. Sunday was just the fifth game Rosario has appeared in since being traded back to the Dodgers, as he's settled into a short-side platoon role and was eventually replaced in the game by Gavin Lux. For the year, Rosario is slashing .305/.331/.415 with two homers, 28 RBI, 23 runs, 10 steals and an 8:50 BB:K in 287 plate appearances.
