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.
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.

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.
