Provides two RBI off bench Rosario went 1-for-3 with two RBI during the victory over the Brewers in Game 4 of the NLDS on Tuesday.
Impact The 30-year-old didn't start Tuesday with the hot-hitting Joc Pederson entering the lineup, but he still received three plate appearances off the bench. Rosario delivered a clutch two-run single as a pinch hitter with the bases loaded during the fourth inning to tie the score at 2-2, and he remained in the contest as part of a double switch. He went 4-for-13 with a walk and two RBI during the NLDS and should continue to see regular at-bats as Atlanta continues its postseason run.

Not in Thursday's lineup Rosario will sit Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Rosario will hit the bench against lefty Madison Bumgarner. He's hit an excellent .295/.362/.689 with six homers and as many walks as strikeouts in 22 games since joining Atlanta, but that hasn't been enough to earn him a true everyday role, as he's only started twice against southpaws. Adam Duvall will be the left fielder Thursday, with Guillermo Heredia starting in center.

Solid follow-up to Sunday's cycle Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Monday in Atlanta's 11-4 win over Arizona.
Impact After facing only five pitches en route to hitting for the cycle in Sunday's win over the Giants, Rosario was able to stay hot Monday with a pair of hits, including his 13th home run of the season in the ninth inning. Rosario has submitted a 1.171 OPS in 20 games since returning from the injured list in late August, with his stellar start to his tenure with Atlanta allowing him to unseat Joc Pederson for an everyday role in the outfield.
