Hits for cycle Rosario went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, and a double in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Giants.
Impact Rosario hit a solo homer off Zack Littell in the seventh inning, the latter of back-to-back home runs. He singled in the ninth inning to finish off the cycle. Rosario is the fourth person to bat for the cycle this season. Most impressively, he did it seeing only five total pitches in his four at-bats. The 29-year-old is slashing .320/.375/.740 with five home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs in 20 games with Atlanta this season.

Homers in win Rosario went 2-for-3 with a single, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies. He also drew a walk.
Impact Rosario was Atlanta's offense Wednesday, accounting for both runs that the club scored on the night. He first plated Austin Riley with an RBI single in the second before smacking a solo shot off Antonio Senzatela in the fifth. Since joining Atlanta from Cleveland, Rosario is hitting .256 with four home runs over 16 games.

Supplants Pederson in outfield Rosario will start in left field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Rockies.
Impact For the second straight game, Rosario will draw a start against a right-handed starting pitcher (Antonio Senzatela) while Joc Pederson sits. Since returning from the injured list in late August, Rosario has slashed .222/.293/.556 in 15 games, and that looks like it'll be enough for him to maintain a near-everyday role in the outfield over Pederson, who has provided a meager .616 OPS since the start of August. Given that both players hit from the left side of the plate, a platoon between the two isn't a viable solution, so Rosario should get a full run of regular at-bats over the final weeks of the season.

Cranks ninth homer of season Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals.
Impact Rosario squared the game at 2-2 when he took Washington reliever Austin Voth deep to right in the sixth inning. It was the ninth homer of the year for Rosario, who is just 3-for-15 over the past six games. The 29-year-old is hitting .256 with a .707 OPS and 10 stolen bases (13 attempts) across 336 plate appearances this season between Cleveland and Atlanta.

Triples, swipes bag Rosario went 2-for-5 with a triple, a steal and two RBI in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Giants.
Impact Rosario swiped second base after singling in the third inning and later ripped a two-run triple in the sixth. He went 0-for-1 as a pinch-hitter Saturday in his first appearance with Atlanta but quickly made an impact in his first start after a stint on the injured list with an abdomen injury. The veteran outfielder is now slashing .257/.298/.396 with 24 extra-base hits through 312 plate appearances this season.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Activated from injured list Rosario (abdomen) was reinstated from the injured list Friday.
Impact Rosario was one of four outfielders Atlanta acquired in July, alongside Joc Pederson, Adam Duvall and Jorge Soler. Rosario and Pederson both bat left-handed while Duvall and Soler are both righties, so it's likely the former two find themselves in the lineup against most right-handed pitchers while sitting frequently against southpaws. Rosario wasn't particularly good before landing on the injured list in early July, however, hitting just .254/.296/.389, so it's possible he winds up on the bench against some righties as well.
