Braves' Eddie Rosario: Not in Thursday's lineup
Rosario is on the bench Thursday in Atlanta's opener versus the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Rosario's back is fine, but he's sitting because there's a lefty (Patrick Corbin) on the mound for the Nats. It will be Marcell Ozuna in left field and Travis d'Arnaud in the designated hitter spot.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Goes yard Sunday
Rosario went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
The veteran outfielder was in as the DH after dealing with some lower-back stiffness the last couple days, but he wasted little time in proving he was feeling 100 percent -- Rosario hooked a Colin Holderman pitch to right field and drove it completely out of the ballpark in the second inning. Rosario has gone just 3-for-15 in his last five spring games, but two of the hits went for extra bases, offering some hope he's ready to rebound from a rough 2022 that saw him post a career-low .587 OPS.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Back in action Sunday
Rosario (back) will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
Rosario was scratched from Atlanta's spring lineup the past two days due to lower-back stiffness, but at least for the time being, the club appears optimistic that he'll be able to play Sunday in a non-defensive role. The Pirates are bringing southpaw Rich Hill to the mound, but the lefty-hitting Rosario is expected to find himself on the bench more often than not when Atlanta opposes lefties during the regular season.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Slots back into lineup
Rosario (back) will start in left field and bat seventh in Saturday's split-squad game against the Twins, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
The hope was that Rosario and Michael Harris would be able to return after being scratched from Friday's lineup, and indeed both are in the starting nine behind Max Fried. Rosario has endured a tough spring, collecting just three hits in 21 at-bats so far. Regardless, he still projects to be Atlanta's primary left fielder to begin the 2023 season.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Could return this weekend
Rosario (back) could be back in Atlanta's lineup Saturday or Sunday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Rosario and Michael Harris were both late scratches from Friday's game due to back issues, but manager Brian Snitker said the team was just being cautious. Rosario has hit just 3-for-21 at the plate in Grapefruit League action, but he was a little more productive during the WBC and still figures to be Atlanta's primary left fielder in 2023.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Scratched but fine
Rosario (back) was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins but is reportedly fine, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Rosario was scratched Friday with lower-back stiffness but was initially set to return Saturday, only for Atlanta to decide he needs another day. Assuming he returns to the lineup soon, he should be Atlanta's primary lefty fielder to open the season.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Scratched with back stiffness
Rosario was scratched from Atlanta's lineup Friday due to lower-back stiffness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
As was the case with Michael Harris -- who was also a late scratch with a back issue -- this move is considered precautionary. The fact that Atlanta would have to take a bus to Fort Myers for the spring road game at JetBlue Park likely factored into the decisions. Rosario is set to open the season as Atlanta's left fielder, at least against right-handed pitching.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Set as starter in left
Rosario appears locked into the starting role in left field for Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old outfielder underwent laser eye surgery last year and struggled to pick up the ball after his return, but he's appeared to be something close to his old self at the plate this spring, rapping out his first extra-base hit Monday in Grapefruit League play (a double off the Rays' Zach Eflin) after going 3-for-17 with two homers and a double for Puerto Rico during the WBC. Rosario was a big part of Atlanta's postseason run in 2021, winning the NLCS MVP after slashing .271/.330/.573 over 33 regular-season games, but his career .270/.305/.462 line is a more realistic goal over a full campaign if he returns to form.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: In better place with vision
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Rosario (eyes) has "been a different guy" so far in camp, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Rosario battled vision issues in early 2022 and ultimately slashed just .212/.259/.328 across 270 plate appearances, but he has some rebound potential following eye surgery last April, which resulted in slightly better offensive numbers when he returned to Atlanta's active roster in July. He'll aim to put a good foot forward with Team Puerto Rico in the upcoming World Baseball Classic before likely manning left field for the reigning NL East champs Opening Day.
