Rosario is set to be a free agent this offseason, so this will simply allow him to reach the market a few days earlier.

Losing out on regular role Rosario is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact After a recent stretch of 10 starts in an 11-game span, Rosario now finds himself on the bench for the second straight day, with both absences coming against right-handed pitchers. Though Rosario looked to be gaining traction as the Reds' primary designated hitter, the Reds have seemingly pulled the plug on using him as an everyday player while he's managed a lowly .184/.216/.245 slash line since being claimed off waivers from the Dodgers on Aug. 18. The Reds may instead prefer to rotate a number of players at the DH spot rather than giving consistent at-bats to the struggling Rosario.

Where may be useful is in steals; the utility infielder has swiped three in 16 games for Cincinnati and 13 for the season.
