Eddie Rosario Returns To Lineup Monday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (hamstring) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting sixth on Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Roansy Contreras. Rosario missed Sunday's series finale against the Houston Astros with a sore hamstring, but he'll return a day later. The 30-year-old should continue to start regularly against right-handed pitchers […]
Ehire Adrianza Comes Off Injured List
The Atlanta Braves reinstated infielder/outfielder Ehire Adrianza (illness) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and designated infielder Ryan Goins for assignment in a corresponding move. Adrianza will return to a super-utility role for the Braves off the bench, but since he won't see regular playing time, he's well off the fantasy radar in mixed […]

This article builds on that […]
Eddie Rosario Resting Against Astros
Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Houston Astros. Rosario is dealing with a sore left hamstring and should be considered day-to-day.
