Impact With lefty Ryan Weathers on the hill for San Diego, the lefty-hitting Rosario will retreat to the bench. The righty-hitting Kevin Pillar replaces Rosario in left field.

Sitting versus lefty Rosario is not in the lineup Saturday against the Royals.

Impact Kevin Pillar, Eli White and Ronald Acuna are starting across the outfield for Atlanta with left-hander Kris Bubic on the mound. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the designated hitter.

Belts decisive homer Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in 5-4 win against the Reds on Wednesday.

Impact Rosario got Atlanta's biggest hit in the contest, breaking a 4-4 tie in the eighth inning with a solo homer to center field. The long ball was the veteran's first of the campaign and also accounted for his first RBI. It's been an otherwise quiet start to the campaign for Rosario, as he's slashing .229/.270/.371 through 37 plate appearances.

Batting fifth Tuesday Rosario is playing left field and batting fifth Tuesday versus the Reds.

Impact It's his highest lineup spot of the season so far. Rosario is just 4-for-27 (.148) through nine games played, but he will aim to get it going against the Reds and right-hander Luis Cessa.

Sitting versus lefty Rosario is not in Atlanta's lineup Thursday versus the Padres.

Impact Kevin Pillar will start in left field and bat eighth with left-hander Blake Snell on the mound for San Diego. Rosario has zero extra-base hits through 14 plate appearances this year.

APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Rosario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact For the second time in three games, the lefty-hitting Rosario will head to the bench while Atlanta opposes another southpaw (Mackenzie Gore). Rosario is likely to remain in a strong-side platoon role for the foreseeable future, with either Marcell Ozuna or Travis d'Arnaud typically taking his spot in the lineup when Atlanta faces left-handed starting pitchers.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Thursday's lineup Rosario is on the bench Thursday in Atlanta's opener versus the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's not clear whether Rosario's back might still be a bit of an issue or if he's just sitting because there's a lefty (Patrick Corbin) on the mound for the Nats. Either way, it will be Marcell Ozuna in left field and Travis d'Arnaud in the designated hitter spot.

Goes yard Sunday Rosario went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

Impact The veteran outfielder was in as the DH after dealing with some lower-back stiffness the last couple days, but he wasted little time in proving he was feeling 100 percent -- Rosario hooked a Colin Holderman pitch to right field and drove it completely out of the ballpark in the second inning. Rosario has gone just 3-for-15 in his last five spring games, but two of the hits went for extra bases, offering some hope he's ready to rebound from a rough 2022 that saw him post a career-low .587 OPS.

MARCH 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Sunday Rosario (back) will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

Impact Rosario was scratched from Atlanta's spring lineup the past two days due to lower-back stiffness, but at least for the time being, the club appears optimistic that he'll be able to play Sunday in a non-defensive role. The Pirates are bringing southpaw Rich Hill to the mound, but the lefty-hitting Rosario is expected to find himself on the bench more often than not when Atlanta opposes lefties during the regular season.

Scratched but fine Rosario (back) was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins but is reportedly fine, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution repo...

Impact Rosario was scratched Friday with lower-back stiffness but was initially set to return Saturday, only for Atlanta to decide he needs another day. Assuming he returns to the lineup soon, he should be Atlanta's primary lefty fielder to open the season.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slots back into lineup Rosario (back) will start in left field and bat seventh in Saturday's split-squad game against the Twins, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact The hope was that Rosario and Michael Harris would be able to return after being scratched from Friday's lineup, and indeed both are in the starting nine behind Max Fried. Rosario has endured a tough spring, collecting just three hits in 21 at-bats so far. Regardless he still projects to be Atlanta's primary left fielder to begin the 2023 season.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return this weekend Rosario (back) could be back in Atlanta's lineup Saturday or Sunday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rosario and Michael Harris were both late scratches from Friday's game due to back issues, but manager Brian Snitker said the team was just being cautious. Rosario has hit just 3-for-21 at the plate in Grapefruit League action, but he was a little more productive during the WBC and still figures to be Atlanta's primary left fielder in 2023.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with back stiffness Rosario was scratched from Atlanta's lineup Friday due to lower-back stiffness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact As was the case with Michael Harris -- who was also a late scratch with a back issue -- this move is considered precautionary. The fact that Atlanta would have to take a bus to Fort Myers for the spring road game at JetBlue Park likely factored into the decisions. Rosario is set to open the season as Atlanta's left fielder, at least against right-handed pitching.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set as starter in left Rosario appears locked into the starting role in left field for Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 31-year-old outfielder underwent laser eye surgery last year and struggled to pick up the ball after his return, but he's appeared to be something close to his old self at the plate this spring, rapping out his first extra-base hit Monday in Grapefruit League play (a double off the Rays' Zach Eflin) after going 3-for-17 with two homers and a double for Puerto Rico during the WBC. Rosario was a big part of Atlanta's postseason run in 2021, winning the NLCS MVP after slashing .271/.330/.573 over 33 regular-season games, but his career .270/.305/.462 line is a more realistic goal over a full campaign if he returns to form.

In better place with vision Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Rosario (eyes) has "been a different guy" so far in camp, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rosario battled vision issues in early 2022 and ultimately slashed just .212/.259/.328 across 270 plate appearances, but he has some rebound potential following eye surgery last April, which resulted in slightly better offensive numbers when he returned to Atlanta's active roster in July. He'll aim to put a good foot forward with Team Puerto Rico in the upcoming World Baseball Classic before likely manning left field for the reigning NL East champs Opening Day.
