Player Outlook
Amed Rosario was a solid, albeit underwhelming fantasy option at shortstop from 2021-22, compiling his way to decent five-category production. His Statcast data in 2023, at least offensively, said he was basically the same player, but Rosario's already-modest power numbers sank and he continued to look rather helpless against right-handed pitching (.636 OPS). Also, his defense at shortstop went from bad to borderline unplayable and the Guardians wound up trading him to the Dodgers at the deadline. Rosario was used primarily at second base in Los Angeles, but playing time was sporadic. With major questions about his position and viability versus right-handers, Rosario's future is cloudy, though his landing spot with the Rays offers some hope for a turnaround.

  • Rays' Amed Rosario: May see more time in the outfield

    Rosario could see more time in the outfield as a result of Jonny DeLuca's (hand) absence, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. DeLuca is projected to miss the first couple weeks of the regular season, while Josh Lowe (hip) is also currently sidelined. Even if Lowe returns, there's a potential for at-bats against left-handed pitchers to be available in right field. As a right-handed hitter, Rosario is arguably a better fit than lefty Richie Palacios.

  • Rays' Amed Rosario: Eyed for four positions

    Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Tuesday that the plan is to play Rosario some at both middle infield positions as well as the corner outfield spots, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Neander also mentioned Rosario's ability to hit left-handed pitching, and there's a good chance much of the 28-year-old's playing time ultimately comes against southpaws. Jose Caballero is still expected to open the season as Tampa Bay's primary shortstop.

  • Rays' Amed Rosario: Lands with Rays on one-year deal

    Rosario signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Rays on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. It's a good fit for Rosario, who, with a career .298/.339/.467 batting line against left-handed pitching, should see plenty of action in the middle infield spots versus southpaws. The 28-year-old has slashed only .263/.296/.374 in his career against right-handers and is a poor defender, so Tampa Bay figures to use him sparingly versus same-handed pitchers.

  • Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Left off NLDS roster

    Rosario isn't on the Dodgers' roster for their NLDS matchup against Arizona, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. After slashing .256/.301/.408 across 133 plate appearances since joining the Dodgers, Rosario will be inactive to begin Los Angeles' postseason run. Kolten Wong secured a spot on the roster and looks to be in position to serve as a reserve infielder against the D-backs.

  • Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Racks up three hits, steal

    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: Swipes bag Saturday

    Rosario went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to Boston on Saturday. Rosario got the start at second base and plated a run with an infield single in the first inning. The veteran then drew a walk in the fourth, stole second and came around to score the Dodgers' second run. However, Rosario was lifted for a left-handed hitter when righty Garrett Whitlock came on to pitch for the Red Sox in the seventh frame. Rosario is slashing .239/.282/.463 with three homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs and two steals over 23 contests since joining the Dodgers on July 26.

  • Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Drives in pair

    Rosario went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-5 win over the Padres. Rosario was at shortstop Friday after making his last three starts at second base, all against southpaws. He's gone 7-for-21 (.333) with a home run, seven RBI and one steal through six games with the Dodgers since he was traded from the Guardians. Rosario is at a .268/.309/.379 slash line with four homers, 10 steals, 47 RBI and 54 runs scored through 100 contests in 2023.

  • Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Homers in blowout win

    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. It appears the team prefers to keep Miguel Rojas at shortstop, leaving Rosario to compete with Chris Taylor and Enrique Hernandez for the leftover time at second base behind Mookie Betts. Rosario has a .269/.310/.379 slash line with four homers, 43 RBI, 53 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 98 contests this season.

  • Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Sits against righty

    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 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: Sleeper hitters for Week 14 (June 26-July 2)

    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.
