AMED ROSARIO NEWS

Aiming to return Friday Rosario is hoping to return to the lineup Friday after an MRI on his back was negative, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact There's an outside chance Rosario could be available sooner than that, but it sounds like Friday is realistically his first shot to be back in action. Rosario hasn't played since Saturday because of a back issue. Tyler Freeman has been recalled and is starting the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

Sitting out first game Rosario (back) is not in the Guardians' lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

Impact Rosario is dealing with a minor back issue and will sit out at least the first game of Tuesday's double-dip. Tyler Freeman is handling shortstop for Cleveland.

Day-to-day with back issue Guardians manager Terry Francona told reporters before Sunday's game against the Nationals that Rosario is day-to-day with a back issue, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rosario is out of action for Sunday's contest against Washington with Francona telling reporters the 27-year-old has a "balky" back at this point. Gabriel Arias is hitting second as the starting shortstop against Patrick Corbin and the Nationals, and he'll likely see the majority of reps at the position while Rosario is out.

Takes seat against Nationals Rosario is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Nationals.

Impact Rosario is off to a slow start to the 2023 campaign with a .609 OPS over 69 plate appearances, but this appears to just be a rest day for the 27-year-old shortstop. Gabriel Arias will handle short and hit second in his absence.

Goes deep Wednesday Rosario went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Rosario has struggled at the plate this season, hitting just .204 through 12 contests. His homer Wednesday was his first of the season, and he's added three stolen bases, four RBI and five runs scored. Despite the poor hitting, he's remained in the No. 2 hole in the lineup when he plays. Andres Gimenez was in that spot when Rosario got a day off Tuesday. Myles Straw's also been good early on and could also contend to move up the lineup if manager Terry Francona mixes things up.

Not in Tuesday's lineup Rosario is not in the Guardians' lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.

Impact It's the first day off of the season for Rosario, as Gabriel Arias will get a start at shortstop. Rosario is batting just .204/.259/.224 so far, although he does already have three stolen bases.

Records third steal Rosario went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks and a stolen base.

Impact The Guardians' Nos. 1-7 hitters failed to record a hit, but they managed seven walks and four steals. Rosario was a contributor in both areas. He's had some positive moments with three multi-hit efforts through 11 games, but the shortstop is slashing a meager .204/.259/.224 through 54 plate appearances. He's added three steals, three RBI and four runs scored, though he's yet to hit a home run.

Guardians rally in 12th inning to beat Mariners 7-6

José Ramírez slid past catcher Cal Raleigh’s tag to score the winning run in the 12th inning, giving the Cleveland Guardians a 7-6 victory over the Seattle Mariners

APRIL 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Swipes first bag of year Rosario went 2-for-6 with an RBI and his first stolen base of the season in Friday's 9-4 win over the Mariners.

Impact Cleveland went 3-for-3 on the basepaths in total against Cal Raleigh and Seattle's pitchers, and given the Guardians' speed up and down the lineup, they could be one of the clubs that benefits most from MLB's rule changes to boost the running game. Rosario has hit second in each of the first two games of 2023, and a consistent spot in the lineup between Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez can only help his fantasy production.

Solid in spring Rosario is batting .292 (7-for-24) through nine Cactus League games.

Impact It's business as usual for Rosario, who will be the Guardians' primary shortstop to begin 2023. He posted a positive defensive runs saved (six) for the first time in 2022, so any lingering concerns about his overall game appear to be behind him. He also slashed .283/.312/.403 with 11 home runs, 18 stolen bases, 71 RBI and 86 runs scored in 153 contests last year, emerging as a steady presence in the No. 2 spot in the order.
