Amed Rosario's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Cincinnati Reds placed third baseman Jeimer Candelario (toe) on the injured list on Tuesday with a left-toe fracture and added infielder Amed Rosario to the active roster. Candelario is hitting .225/.279/.429 with 20 homers, 56 RBI, and 47 runs scored while adding four stolen bases in 112 games. The Reds added infielder Amed Rosario to the active roster after acquiring him off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rosario, who was traded to the Dodgers by the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline, hit a combined .305/.331/.415 with two homers, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 stolen bases. Rosario will have some appeal to fantasy managers who need stolen bases as he joins a Reds team that has swiped 168 bags.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Amed Rosario was designated for assignment this week and will now head to Cincinnati. This was a surprising move as the Dodgers traded for the infielder at the trade deadline but recently let him go when Mookie Betts (hand) returned from the injured list. The veteran infielder has held a solid .305/.331/.415 line with two home runs and 10 stolen bases across 81 games this summer. Fantasy managers should expect Rosario to serve as a depth utility infielder in Cincinnati as Jonathan India, Noelvi Marte, and Elly De La Cruz have second base, shortstop, and third base covered on most nights. Rosario could be worth a look in deeper NL-only formats if he is given consistent playing time, as he should produce a solid AVG with the upside for speed.

The Los Angeles Dodgers designated infielder/outfielder Amed Rosario for assignment on Monday and activated infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts (hand) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rosario, who was acquired in a trade from the Tampa Bay Rays just two weeks ago at the end of July, became expendable with Betts making his long-awaited return. The 28-year-old Dominican veteran appeared in only five games with the Dodgers and went 3-for-11 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base after he hit .307 (81-for-264) with two homers, 26 RBI and nine stolen bases in 76 games for the Rays earlier this year. If Rosario isn't claimed by another team off waivers, he'll surely latch on with another organization as outfield and infield depth as a free agent. Betts has returned to right field for LA, so veterans Miguel Rojas and Nick Ahmed will share shortstop duties for the foreseeable future.
