Rosario went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Mariners.
The light-hitting Rosario had a chance at a cycle but grounded out in the eighth inning. Prior to Sunday, he'd gone 7-for-26 (.269) over 12 games in September, playing in a part-time role. He's hit .255 with the Dodgers, and he's at a .263/.305/.383 slash line with six home runs, 56 RBI, 67 runs scored, 14 steals, 25 doubles and eight triples over 134 contests this season when accounting for his time with the Guardians. If the Dodgers opt to rest Mookie Betts or Miguel Rojas more often down the stretch, Rosario could see an uptick in playing time.

Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Homers in blowout win
Rotowire
Rosario went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Athletics.
Rosario has gone 5-for-13 (.385) over four games since he joined the Dodgers in a trade from Cleveland. He made his second straight start at second base in the contest, and his three starts as a Dodger have all come against southpaws.

Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Sits against righty
Rotowire
Rosario is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds.
He got a start at shortstop Friday against lefty Brandon Williamson, but will sit against righty Luke Weaver in his second game with the Dodgers. Rosario's playing time and lineup spot both look less favorable following the trade, which makes him expendable in some mixed leagues. Miguel Rojas is starting at shortstop Saturday and batting ninth.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-0 win over the Pirates.

Rotowire
Rosario went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.
Rosario came up a triple shy of the cycle, and he played a key role in each inning the Guardians were able to put a number on the board. The shortstop has had trouble hitting for power this year, with this homer being his second of the campaign. He's posted multiple hits in four of his last five games and is up to a .266/.311/.364 slash line with 32 RBI, 40 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 78 contests.

Guardians' Amed Rosario: Drives in both runs in loss
Rotowire
Rosario went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta.
Rosario delivered a two-run single in the seventh inning, but that was the extent of the Guardians' scoring. The shortstop has multiple hits in three of his last four games, and he's batting .354 over his last 15 contests. That hot stretch has him up to a .261/.307/.347 slash line with one home run, 28 RBI, 38 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 77 games.
Rosario has been completely absent at the plate this season but has a history of gaining steam over the course of the season. It may be happening again seeing as he's batting .347 (25 for 72) with four doubles over his past 17 games. He'll need to work some steals in there, too, but he's a reasonable bet to keep the ball rolling with three games against the Royals pitching staff to open the week.

Guardians' Amed Rosario: Racks up three hits
Rotowire
Rosario went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 8-6 win over the Padres.
Rosario seems to finally have his bat going -- he's hitting .343 (12-for-35) with three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored over his last nine games. However, he's still stuck on one home run for the season, which came back in April. The shortstop's .331 slugging percentage is 40 points worse than his previous low mark. He's added eight stolen bases, 17 RBI and 30 runs scored through 61 contests while batting second in a near-everyday role.

Guardians' Amed Rosario: Three hits in return
Rotowire
Rosario went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Red Sox.
Rosario was out for two games with left knee soreness, but he was able to be a positive contributor in his return to the lineup. The shortstop had gone just 3-for-26 (.115) over eight games since his previous multi-hit effort. Rosario has maintained a regular role this season, but he's struggled to a .237/.281/.330 slash line with one home run, eight stolen bases, 15 RBI and 26 runs scored. His .303 BABIP through 54 games is the lowest of his career, so it's fair to expect him to have at least a small bounce-back over the rest of the season.

Guardians' Amed Rosario: Back in lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Rosario (knee) will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Rosario missed a couple games with soreness in his left knee, but the limited time off looks like it was enough to resolve the issue. With Rosario back in action Wednesday, Gabriel Arias' three-game run as a starter in the infield will come to an end.
