Designated for assignment The Dodgers designated Rosario for assignment Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The veteran outfielder joined the big-league roster Friday with Shohei Ohtani landing on the paternity list, but it will be a short stay in the majors with Ohtani rejoining the club Sunday. Rosario went 1-for-4 with a double in his two games with the team. Assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed, he could elect free agency or return to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he has a .948 OPS through 14 contests this year.

Selected from OKC The Dodgers selected Rosario's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Shohei Ohtani away from the team for the birth of his first child, Rosario will come up from the minors to fill the void on the actvie roster. The 33-year-old has impressed while in Triple-A, slashing .339/.406/.542 with two homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and three stolen bases through 14 games, but he shouldn't be expected to contribute much while with the Dodgers. Edgardo Henriquez (foot) was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room for Rosario on the 40-man roster.

Reassigned to minor-league camp Rosario was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday.

Impact Rosario signed a minor-league deal with Los Angeles in February and he'll now likely open the regular season with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The outfielder struggled to a .154 average with two home runs, five RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over 26 at-bats in 12 games during spring training.

Lands in Los Angeles Rosario signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Rosario endured the worst season of his MLB career last year, slashing .175/.215/.316 with 35 RBI and nine stolen bases across 319 plate appearances between Washington in Atlanta. He'll now look to bounce back in the Dodgers' farm system, though the amount of talent Los Angeles has on its big-league roster doesn't bode well for Rosario's chances of getting reps in the majors.

Let go by Mets The Mets released Rosario on Sunday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rosario has now parted ways with three teams in the National League East this season alone, as he was previously cut loose by Washington and Atlanta. Unlike those previous two stops, Rosario never received a look at the big-league level with the Mets, as he was assigned to Triple-A Syracuse upon signing with the organization on a minor-league deal earlier this month. He saw action in seven games for Syracuse, slashing .103/.133/.310 with eight strikeouts in 30 plate appearances.

Gets minors deal from Mets Rosario signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

Impact Rosario elected free agency Sunday after being DFA'd by Atlanta, and he didn't have to wait long for another opportunity. The 32-year-old has taken a major step back at the plate this season, slashing just .175/.215/.316 across 319 plate appearances between Atlanta and Washington, though he could claim a bench spot in New York if he's able to turn things around with Triple-A Syracuse.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits open market Rosario elected free agency Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The 32-year-old rejected an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett after being designated for assignment by Atlanta, and he'll now return to free agency. Rosario has a .175/.215/.316 slash line in 91 games between Washington and Atlanta this season.

AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Gwinnett Rosario cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.

Impact Rosario was dropped from the 40-man roster Thursday after slashing just .154/.181/.282 in 24 plate appearances with Atlanta. No other team was willing to take a chance on the 32-year-old outfielder, so he'll remain stashed away in Atlanta's farm system as organizational depth.

AUGUST 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster Atlanta designated Rosario for assignment Thursday.

Impact Rosario's reunion with Atlanta made sense on paper, but the results simply weren't there, with the veteran outfielder slashing just .154/.181/.282 with a 23:3 K:BB over 24 contests. The 32-year-old will pass through waivers and eventually be released, at which point he will seek a job in a new organization. For now, Adam Duvall will see more action in left field with Rosario out of the mix. However, Michael Harris (hamstring) is due back soon, at which point Jarred Kelenic will return to left field.

Getting rare day off versus righty Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Atlanta is facing a right-handed starter (Freddy Peralta) for the ninth game in a row Wednesday, but the lefty-hitting Rosario will give way to the right-handed-hitting Adam Duvall for the first time during that stretch. Manager Brian Snitker might have just wanted to get Duvall some work to keep him sharp at the plate, but Rosario hasn't done much to justify maintaining a strong-side platoon role. Since joining Atlanta on July 8, Rosario is slashing .154/.181/.282 with a 27.4 percent strikeout rate.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pilfers bag in Wednesday's win Rosario went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Brewers.

Impact He got the start in left field, batting sixth against right-hander Freddy Peralta, but Rosario was replaced by Adam Duvall in the seventh inning with lefty Jared Koenig on the mound. Trade deadline acquisition Jorge Soler is expected to start in right field, but Duvall and Rosario seem headed for a platoon in left, with the latter on the strong side of that arrangement. Manager Brian Snitker likely won't hesitate to play the hot hand if one of the two significant out-produces the other, however. Rosario is batting just .189 (7-for-37) over his last 12 games, but he does have three home runs and eight RBI over that stretch.

Goes yard in both ends of twin bill Rosario went 3-for-7 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI across both ends of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Cardinals.

Impact After taking Ryan Fernandez deep in the seventh inning of the matinee for a game-tying two-run blast, Rosario clubbed a solo shot off Sonny Gray in the sixth inning of the nightcap. It was the veteran outfielder's first homers and first RBI in nine games for Atlanta this season, but he's batting just .219 (7-for-32) since returning to the club. With Atlanta's front office rumored to be looking for outfield help at the trade deadline, Rosario may need to heat up quickly if he wants to hang onto a significant role with the club down the stretch.

Getting seventh straight start Rosario will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Since signing a minor-league deal with Atlanta on July 5 and earning a promotion to the big leagues four days later, Rosario has moved into a strong-side platoon role in the outfield. He'll pick up a seventh straight start -- all against right-handed pitchers -- after going 4-for-21 with a double and three runs over his first six games with Atlanta.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Added to Atlanta roster Atlanta selected Rosario's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact Rosario needed just three games at Gwinnett to convince Atlanta he was ready for a shot at the big-league level, going 3-for-11 with one home run and one triple. The 32-year-old slashed just .183/.226/.329 before being cut loose by the Nationals, but he hit .255/.305/.450 with 21 home runs in 2023 for Atlanta. Rosario figures to receive regular playing time in left field against right-handed pitching while Atlanta scrambled to find outfield production with Ronald Acuna (knee) and Michael Harris (hamstring) out.
