Amed Rosario Fantasy Stats

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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired infielder/outfielder Amed Rosario from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for minor-league right-hander Michael Flynn. The team designated left-hander Ryan Yarbrough for assignment in order to make room for Rosario. After acquiring speedy utility man Tommy Edman (wrist) earlier on Monday, the Dodgers add another versatile depth piece that can bounce around the diamond. The 28-year-old veteran is batting a strong .307 (81-for-264) with 17 doubles and nine stolen bases in 76 games this season, but he doesn't provide much in the way of power overall with two home runs and 26 RBI. Until Mookie Betts (hand) gets activated from the injured list, Rosario should get fairly consistent playing time at second base, shortstop, and right field while seeing his fantasy value go up in LA's vaunted lineup. As for the Rays, Curtis Mead should see more action at the keystone.

Tampa Bay Rays utilityman Amed Rosario joined in on the fun in the team's 13-0 victory versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Rosario started at third base and went 3-for-6 with a pair of runs and two stolen bases. The veteran has had a nice comeback season in Tampa Bay with a .311 batting average to go along with two homers, 26 RBI and nine stolen bases, but he hasn't gotten consistent playing time. That could all change with the trade of outfielder Randy Arozarena on Thursday night. If Rosario were to see an uptick in playing time, his versatility could make him a solid end-of-the-roster bat in deeper mixed leagues. However, other than speed and batting average, he doesn't offer much to be excited about.

Tampa Bay Rays utility player Amed Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the visiting Washington Nationals and right-hander Jake Irvin. The 28-year-old has been rather productive at the plate in his first season with the Rays, hitting .296 with a .727 OPS in 62 games. At the same time, he has hit just two homers on the season -- and none since April 17 -- while walking in just 3.1% of his trips to the plate. His 110 wRC+ tells us that he has been valuable to the Rays but fantasy managers have been unable to extract much value from the veteran's counting stats which include 18 runs, 24 RBI, and seven steals on the season. Rosario is a decent middle infield fantasy player for leagues that count batting average but he has largely been fantasy irrelevant this season.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Amed Rosario struggled in Sunday's 4-2 loss against the Chicago White Sox. Rosario went 1-for-4 with one strikeout and a hit-by-pitch to end a tough weekend series. The Rays shortstop went 2-for-12 (.167) with one RBI, one run, two walks, and three strikeouts in the three games against the White Sox. He has been a solid starter for fantasy managers this season, though, hitting .320 (31-for-97) with five doubles, one triple, 13 RBI, eight runs, two homers, 13 walks, and fourteen strikeouts in 26 starts. He'll kick the week off with a tough matchup versus Milwaukee, but his fantasy upside remains high and desirable for managers.

Tampa Bay Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said that the plan is to play infielder Amed Rosario at both middle-infield positions and in the corner-outfield spots in 2024 after signing him to a one-year, $1.5 million deal on Tuesday. Rosario will give the Rays more insurance at the 6 with Wander Franco potentially never playing for the team again given his off-the-field issues, but Jose Caballero will remain the primary option at shortstop. The 28-year-old Rosario has been a lefty killer in his career, so between multiple positions with the Rays in 2024, the Dominican infielder should play rather regularly when the club faces a left-handed pitcher. He'll be most attractive as a low-cost DFS play against southpaws, but with modest power and speed, Rosario's fantasy ceiling is low.

Free-agent infielder Amed Rosario and the Tampa Bay Rays agreed on Tuesday to a one-year, $1.5 million deal, according to sources. The 28-year-old will bring a strong bat against left-handed pitching and should get at-bats at shortstop, second base and potentially in the corner-outfield spots in 2024. It's more insurance for the Rays at shortstop with the possibility that Wander Franco will never play in the big leagues again. Rosario is a career .272 hitter in seven major-league seasons, and he slashed .263/.305/.378 with six home runs, 58 RBI, 15 stolen bases and 70 runs scored in 142 games last year with the Guardians and Dodgers. The move to Tampa makes the veteran infielder more attractive as a deep-mixed corner infielder and for DFS lineups against lefties, who he has hit .298/.339/.467 against in his career.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Amed Rosario put up a multi-hit game on Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a run and two RBI, helping his club blowout the Miami Marlins 10-0. The seven-year veteran is having an excellent September thus far, batting .375 over six games. Across 127 games overall this season, Rosario owns a .262/.303/.379 slash line with six homers, 63 runs, 56 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. Those are serviceable numbers in standard formats, but the 27-year-old is stuck in a platoon, making him a deep league option for the remainder of the season.
