• Reds' Amed Rosario: Fifth straight start

  Rotowire Sep 4, 2024

  Rosario will start at designated hitter and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Astros. It's the fifth straight start overall and fourth straight start against a righty for Rosario, who is traditionally a much better hitter versus left-handed pitching. He's slashing .250/.300/.357 with one home run and two stolen bases in 10 games since joining Cincinnati. Rosario could continue to play pretty regularly while Jeimer Candelario (toe) is out.

  Rotowire Sep 2, 2024

  Rosario started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings win over Milwaukee. Rosario singled, stole second base and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly as part of the Reds' two-run second inning. The steal was his 12th of the season and second since the Reds claimed him off waivers from the Dodgers on Aug. 18. He had been getting semi-regular work since joining the Reds, but Jake Fraley's return from the injured list Sunday is expected to curb Rosario's opportunities.

• Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Loses roster spot to Betts

  Rotowire Aug 12, 2024

  The Dodgers designated Rosario for assignment Monday. Just two weeks after the Dodgers acquired him from the Rays, Rosario's second stint in Los Angeles will come to an end after he appeared in just five games for the club while going 3-for-11 at the plate. With the Dodgers needing to open up room on the active roster for Mookie Betts' (hand) return from the 10-day injured list, Rosario ended up being the casualty. Rosario will have the ability to elect free agency if no other team is willing to claim him off waivers and cover the money remaining on his $1.5 million salary for 2024.

  Rotowire Aug 12, 2024

  Rosario went 1-for-1 with a walk, a steal and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Pirates. Rosario did his damage early with an RBI-single and a stolen base in the opening frame.

For the year, Rosario is slashing .305/.331/.415 with two homers, 28 RBI, 23 runs, 10 steals and an 8:50 BB:K in 287 plate appearances.

  Rotowire Jun 22, 2024

  Rosario suffered facial lacerations stemming from being hit by a pitch during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates, but the Rays are optimistic that he avoided any fractures, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports. Rosario was removed in the first inning after being struck in the face by Jared Jones' 99 mile-per-hour fastball. Fortunately for Rosario, initial X-rays to his face haven't shown any structural damage, but the Rays may look to stay away from using him for a few days while he waits for his cuts to heal.

• Rays' Amed Rosario: Retreating to bench

  Rotowire May 15, 2024

  Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. Rosario will head to the bench after he had started in each of the previous four games while seeing time at three different spots in the infield (second base, third base and shortstop). Though the right-handed-hitting Rosario should remain a mainstay in the lineup versus lefties, his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching could be more limited moving forward after the Rays activated the lefty-hitting Jonathan Aranda from the injured list Tuesday.
