Overview

  • New York officially reinstated INF/OF Amed Rosario from the 10-day injured list before Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay.
  • Catcher J.C. Escarra was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday to open the active-roster spot.
  • Rosario sustained a sternoclavicular joint sprain on Aug. 8 after a collision with the right-field wall and had targeted the minimum IL stay.
  • The move reflects confidence in the Ben Rice–Austin Wells catching tandem, reducing the need to carry a third catcher.
  • Rosario offers matchup flexibility as a right-handed bat with strong numbers versus left-handed pitching, adding bench versatility for divisional games against the Rays and Red Sox.
