Overview

• Rosario suffered a left sternoclavicular joint sprain when he crashed into the right-field wall on August 8, ending his brief 3-for-7 stint at the plate.
• The IL move is effective retroactive to August 9 and represents the second right-handed deadline acquisition sidelined this month after Austin Slater’s hamstring strain.
• Catcher J.C. Escarra was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Rosario’s roster spot, providing a left-handed batting option.
• Acquired from the Nationals just before the July trade deadline, Rosario was targeted for his strong platoon splits against left-handed pitching and defensive versatility.
• Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports Rosario expects to miss only the minimum 10 days and aims to return immediately afterward.
