Dodgers' Eddie Rosario: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Rosario was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Rosario signed a minor-league deal with Los Angeles in February and he'll now likely open the regular season with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The outfielder struggled to a .154 average with two home runs, five RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over 26 at-bats in 12 games during spring training.

Dodgers' Eddie Rosario: Lands in Los Angeles
Rotowire
Rosario signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Rosario endured the worst season of his MLB career last year, slashing .175/.215/.316 with 35 RBI and nine stolen bases across 319 plate appearances between Washington and Atlanta. He'll now look to bounce back with the Dodgers, though the amount of talent Los Angeles has on its big-league roster bodes poorly for Rosario's chances of getting reps in the majors.

Eddie Rosario: Let go by Mets
Rotowire
The Mets released Rosario on Sunday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Rosario has now parted ways with three teams in the National League East this season alone, as he was previously cut loose by Washington and Atlanta. Unlike those previous two stops, Rosario never received a look at the big-league level with the Mets, as he was assigned to Triple-A Syracuse upon signing with the organization on a minor-league deal earlier this month. He saw action in seven games for Syracuse, slashing .103/.133/.310 with eight strikeouts in 30 plate appearances.

Mets' Eddie Rosario: Gets minors deal from Mets
Rotowire
Rosario signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.
Rosario elected free agency Sunday after being DFA'd by Atlanta, and he didn't have to wait long for another opportunity. The 32-year-old has taken a major step back at the plate this season, slashing just .175/.215/.316 across 319 plate appearances between Atlanta and Washington, though he could claim a bench spot in New York if he's able to turn things around with Triple-A Syracuse.

Eddie Rosario: Hits open market
Rotowire
Rosario elected free agency Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The 32-year-old rejected an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett after being designated for assignment by Atlanta, and he'll now return to free agency. Rosario has a .175/.215/.316 slash line in 91 games between Washington and Atlanta this season.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Outrighted to Gwinnett
Rotowire
Rosario cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.
Rosario was dropped from the 40-man roster Thursday after slashing just .154/.181/.282 in 24 plate appearances with Atlanta. No other team was willing to take a chance on the 32-year-old outfielder, so he'll remain stashed away in Atlanta's farm system as organizational depth.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Atlanta designated Rosario for assignment Thursday.
Rosario's reunion with Atlanta made sense on paper, but the results simply weren't there, with the veteran outfielder slashing just .154/.181/.282 with a 23:3 K:BB over 24 contests. The 32-year-old will pass through waivers and eventually be released, at which point he will seek a job in a new organization. For now, Adam Duvall will see more action in left field with Rosario out of the mix. However, center fielder Michael Harris (hamstring) is due back from the injured list soon, at which point Jarred Kelenic will return to left field.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Getting rare day off versus righty
Rotowire
Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Atlanta is facing a right-handed starter (Freddy Peralta) for the ninth game in a row Wednesday, but the lefty-hitting Rosario will give way to the right-handed-hitting Adam Duvall for the first time during that stretch. Manager Brian Snitker might have just wanted to get Duvall some work to keep him sharp at the plate, but Rosario hasn't done much to justify maintaining a strong-side platoon role. Since joining Atlanta on July 8, Rosario is slashing .154/.181/.282 with a 27.4 percent strikeout rate.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Pilfers bag in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Rosario went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Brewers.
He got the start in left field, batting sixth against right-hander Freddy Peralta, but Rosario was replaced by Adam Duvall in the seventh inning with lefty Jared Koenig on the mound. Trade deadline acquisition Jorge Soler is expected to start in right field going forward, but Duvall and Rosario seem headed for a platoon in left, with the latter on the strong side of that arrangement. Manager Brian Snitker likely won't hesitate to play the hot hand if one of the two significantly out-produces the other, however. Rosario is batting just .189 (7-for-37) over his last 12 games, but he does have three home runs and eight RBI over that stretch.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Goes yard in both ends of twin bill
Rotowire
Rosario went 3-for-7 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI across both ends of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Cardinals.
After taking Ryan Fernandez deep in the seventh inning of the matinee for a game-tying two-run blast, Rosario clubbed a solo shot off Sonny Gray in the sixth inning of the nightcap. It was the veteran outfielder's first homers and first RBI in nine games for Atlanta this season, and he's batting just .219 (7-for-32) since returning to the club. With Atlanta's front office rumored to be looking for outfield help at the trade deadline, Rosario may need to heat up quickly if he wants to hang onto a significant role with the team down the stretch.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Getting seventh straight start
Rotowire
Rosario will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Padres.
Since signing a minor-league deal with Atlanta on July 5 and earning a promotion to the big leagues four days later, Rosario has moved into a strong-side platoon role in the outfield. He'll pick up a seventh straight start -- all against right-handed pitchers -- after going 4-for-21 with a double and three runs over his first six games with Atlanta.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Added to Atlanta roster
Rotowire
Atlanta selected Rosario's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Rosario needed just three games at Gwinnett to convince Atlanta he was ready for a shot at the big-league level, going 3-for-11 with one home run and one triple. The 32-year-old slashed just .183/.226/.329 in 235 plate appearances this season before being cut loose by the Nationals, but while with Atlanta in 2023, he hit .255/.305/.450 with 21 home runs over 142 games. Rosario will likely receive regular playing time in left field against right-handed pitching while Atlanta scrambles to find outfield production due to Ronald Acuna (knee) and Michael Harris (hamstring) being out.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Back with Atlanta on MiLB deal
Rotowire
Atlanta signed Rosario to a minor-league contract Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
After Rosario was released by the Nationals earlier this week, his return to Atlanta seemed inevitable. The veteran outfielder slashed an ugly .183/.226/.329 in Washington, but last year in Atlanta he posted a .755 OPS with 21 home runs as its primary left fielder. Rosario will report to Triple-A Gwinnett for now but should get an opportunity with the big club sooner rather than later.

Eddie Rosario: Released by Washington
Rotowire
The Nationals released Rosario on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Rosario cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign with another organization. The veteran outfielder slashed a measly .183/.226/.329 for the Nationals before being cut loose, but with a .755 OPS and 21 home runs just a year ago, Rosario should draw interest now that he can be signed on the cheap.

Nationals' Eddie Rosario: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Nationals designated Rosario for assignment Monday.
He's clearing out to make room on the 40-man roster for top prospect James Wood, who was promoted from Triple-A Rochester. The 32-year-old put up a lowly .450 OPS in June and slashed just .183/.226/.329 over 235 plate appearances on the season for Washington. Rosario will clear waivers and become a free agent in the next few days, and he should be able to find another club willing to give him a shot.

Rotowire

Nationals' Eddie Rosario: Sitting amid slump
Rotowire
Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
The lefty-hitting Rosario typically hits the bench against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Wednesday while a righty (Dylan Cease) toes the rubber for the Padres. Despite seeing limited exposure to same-handed pitching, Rosario has fallen into a slump at the plate lately, going 6-for-41 while failing to draw a walk in any of his last 12 games. The Nationals added another option at designated hitter to the roster Tuesday in Harold Ramirez, who is in the lineup Wednesday and could challenge Rosario for the top spot on the depth chart.

Rotowire
Rosario is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.
It's the third time in four games that Rosario has been out of the lineup. Two of those have been against lefties -- including Friday -- but Rosario also sat out Thursday's contest versus a right-hander. Jesse Winker and Lane Thomas will handle corner outfield duties for the Nationals on Friday.
