Loses 40-man spot The Yankees designated Rosario for assignment Thursday.

Impact He's now been designated for assignment twice in just over two weeks, as Boston previously dropped Rosario from its 40-man roster before he was claimed by the Yankees on March 26. If the 22-year-old outfielder is able to clear waivers this time around, he'll stick in the New York organization and will likely report to Double-A Somerset.

Claimed by Yankees Rosario was claimed off waivers by the Yankees on Saturday and optioned to Double-A Somerset.

Impact Rosario had been on the Red Sox's 40-man roster since November of 2020 but has yet to play above Double-A. He wasn't particularly good at that level in 2021, striking out 27.9 percent of the time while showing very little power. He homered just three times in 98 games while slashing .232/.335/.307.

Loses roster spot The Red Sox designated Rosario for assignment Wednesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Within the past two days, Boston has now dropped both of the prospects it acquired in the August 2020 deal that sent Mitch Moreland to San Diego from its 40-man roster. After infielder Hudson Potts was designated for assignment Tuesday to clear room for waiver pickup Kyle Tyler, Rosario will now cede his spot on the roster to newly-signed infielder Trevor Story. The 22-year-old Rosario stumbled through a tough first full season in the Boston organization in 2021, posting a lowly .641 OPS over 405 plate appearances at Double-A Portland.

Ho-hum start at Double-A Rosario (leg) is slashing .254/.373/.286 with no home runs and two stolen bases through his first 16 games at Double-A Portland.

Impact Rosario picked up a leg injury during spring training, but he moved past the issue well in advance of the minor-league season starting in May. He's been a regular in the Portland outfield so far this season, but the 21-year-old hasn't made much of an impact statistically. Most troubling is Rosario's 32 percent strikeout rate, which is up more than 10 percentage points from his mark in 2019 at High-A Lake Elsinore.
