Eddie Rosario Back In Big Leagues With Braves And Starting Monday
5 months agoThe Atlanta Braves selected the contract of outfielder Eddie Rosario from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday and optioned outfielder Luke Williams to Gwinnett in a corresponding move. The Braves also designated outfielder J.P. Martinez for assignment. Rosario is starting in left field and is batting seventh for Atlanta in Monday's series opener against the hosting Arizona Diamondbacks and rookie right-hander Yilber Diaz, who will be making his major-league debut. The 32-year-old veteran will give Atlanta more outfield depth with Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out for the season and Michael Harris II (hamstring) on the injured list. Rosario hit just .183/.226/.329 with seven homers, 26 RBI and eight steals in 67 games with the Nationals in 2024 before being cut, but he clubbed 21 home runs and drove in 74 in 142 games for the Braves just last year. Expect Rosario to be a platoon option back in Atlanta moving forward against right-handed pitching.
