Eddie Rosario DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Atlanta Braves announced on Friday that they designated veteran outfielder Eddie Rosario for assignment to make room for infielder Luke Williams on the 40-man roster after they selected his contract from Triple-A Gwinnett. Rosario began the 2025 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers but only played two games with them before signing a one-year deal with Atlanta last month. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter played just three games for the Braves. He went 1-for-8 with a run scored and two strikeouts in his five games with the Dodgers and Braves. It remains to be seen if he'll latch on with another team this season, but if he does, don't expect him to be anything more than a left-handed bat off the bench at the major-league level. Rosario slashed .175/.215/.316 with 10 home runs, 35 RBI and nine steals in 91 games last year with the Braves and Washington Nationals.

Per the team, the Atlanta Braves have optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers and signed outfielder Eddie Rosario to a major-league contract in a corresponding move. Kelenic, a former first-round pick, hasn't gotten it going at the big-league level, and he's started 2025 incredibly poorly. Despite a hit in four of his last six appearances, the 25-year-old is slashing a disastrous .167/.231/.300 over 60 at-bats (ten hits). Rosario signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers a few months back and went 1-for-4 in his only two appearances with LA roughly ten days ago. He projects to platoon for Atlanta in the outfield for now.

According to Ari Alexander of KPRC2, the Los Angeles Dodgers have signed outfielder Eddie Rosario to a minor-league contract. Rosario spent time with the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves during the 2024 campaign. However, he had the worst season of his 10-year MLB career as he held a .175/.215/.36 slash line. He hit just 10 home runs and swiped nine bags across 91 contests. He drew walks at a poor 5.0 percent rate and struck out at a high 24.1 percent rate. This was a sharp drop from the .255/.305/.450 line and 21 long balls he hit during the 2023 campaign. Given the depth on the Dodgers roster, fantasy managers should expect Rosario to open the campaign at the Triple-A level. If he does bounce back in spring training, he could compete for playing time alongside Andy Pages and James Outman.
