Out of Sunday's lineup Rosario (ankle) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Tigers.

Impact The 28-year-old battled ankle soreness during Saturday's doubleheader, and he'll remain on the bench for the series finale. Rosario started the previous 13 games, so it's a good time for a day off, regardless. LaMonte Wade will take over in left field Sunday for the Twins.

Nursing sore ankle Rosario was lifted for a pinch runner due to a sore ankle in the seventh inning during Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when exactly the ankle soreness first surfaced, but the 28-year-old played in the field all 14 innings Saturday before he was pulled during the bottom of the seventh. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, and Rosario should be considered day-to-day.

Three singles in win Rosario went 3-for-5 with three singles and an RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

Impact The outfielder now has seven hits in his last 18 at-bats, increasing his batting average to .248 on the year. Rosario hit north of .260 in each of his first five MLB seasons, so it comes as no surprise that he's hitting at a higher clip of late.

Launches seventh homer Rosario went 2-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Royals.

Impact The Twins started the game with a double, a single and then Rosario's blast before rookie hurler Brady Singer could even record an out, and that would prove to be all the offense Randy Dobnak and the Minnesota bullpen would need. Rosario snapped a nine-game homer drought with the performance, but on the season he's up to seven home runs and 22 RBI in 27 games despite a .230 batting average that's well below his usual pace.

Power surge continues Tuesday Rosario went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Brewers.

Impact He took Josh Lindblom deep in the first and third innings, helping to give the Twins a 4-1 lead that the bullpen squandered. Rosario is up to six homers and 16 RBI on the year, including three blasts in the last two days and four in the last six games, but the 28-year-old slugger only has one other hit (a single) during that stretch, leaving him with a lopsided .226/.304/.548 slash line.

Productive day at plate Rosario went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored Thursday against the Pirates.

Impact Rosario was productive throughout the contest, as he reached base on a walk and ultimately came around to score during his first plate appearance. The highlight came in the fifth frame, when he took Cody Ponce deep for a solo home run to put the Twins up 5-3. It was his third home run of the season, and added to a strong stretch at the plate during which he has recorded at least one hit in four of his last six starts. In addition to the power, Rosario has also made consistent contact at the plate, striking out just five times in his first 49 plate appearances this season.
