The Brewers signed Eddie Rosario to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Nashville, relays Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The Rimas Sports client had elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Braves last week.
Rosario is already on his third organization of the season. He began the year in Triple-A with the Dodgers. He hit .339 with a pair of homers in 14 games to earn a brief call-up while Shohei Ohtani was on paternity leave. Rosario was DFA after two games because of Ohtani’s return. He elected free agency rather than accept an assignment back to Triple-A.
That led to a major league contract with Atlanta. Rosario replaced Jarred Kelenic as a lefty-hitting outfield bench bat for a couple weeks. He only started one game and went hitless with two strikeouts in four plate appearances. The Braves turned to speedy utility player Luke Williams for the final bench spot and dropped Rosario on Friday.
The veteran outfielder was a league average hitter back in 2023. He had a terrible ’24 campaign, combining for a .175/.215/.316 slash over 91 games between the Nationals and Atlanta. He’s a .221/.267/.379 hitter in more than 1100 plate appearances since his huge 2021 run that helped the Braves to a title.
Milwaukee is a bit shorthanded in the outfield. Blake Perkins has been out all year after suffering a Spring Training shin fracture. Garrett Mitchell went down with an oblique strain a few weeks ago. With Christian Yelich mostly limited to DH, Jake Bauers is working as Pat Murphy’s primary left fielder. Bauers is out to an excellent start to cement himself alongside Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick as regulars. They’re a little more limited on the bench, where Isaac Collins and Daz Cameron as working as depth outfielders.
