Rosario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
During the final week of June, the utility player had been serving as a near-everyday player for the Yankees, but the returns of Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (throat/ear) from the injured list Friday have pushed Rosario back into a short-side platoon role. Rosario has been left out of the lineup for all three games of the weekend series while Minnesota has sent three right-handed starters to the bump.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Goes yard in defeat
Rotowire
Rosario went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 extra-innings loss the Tigers.
Rosario went deep for the third time in his past eight games Wednesday. The veteran utility man has started seven consecutive games for the banged-up Yankees, but he could get squeezed for playing time once Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (illness) come off the injured list. Through 153 plate appearances, Rosario is slashing .250/.294/.486 with nine homers, four doubles, 27 RBI and 20 runs scored.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Clubs homer off bench Monday
Rotowire
Rosario belted a three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Monday's 7-3 loss to Detroit.
The Yankees were being shut out when Rosario came off the bench to pinch hit for Austin Wells with two runners on base in the eighth inning. The utility man came through with a blast to left-center field to plate the only New York runs in the game. Rosario had made four straight starts prior to Monday, and he could be in store for more opportunities in the lineup moving forward after Jazz Chisholm landed in concussion protocol following a collision with teammate Jasson Dominguez in Monday's loss.
Rosario will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Rosario will stick in the starting nine for the fourth straight game, though he'll be matching up against a right-hander (Sonny Gray) on Sunday after the Red Sox sent lefties to the hill for the first three contests of the series. Though Ryan McMahon's (throat infection) recent move to the injured list leaves a void at third base, the Yankees could elect to use Jose Caballero at that position on a more frequent basis rather than opening up an everyday role for Rosario.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Not starting versus Skubal
Rotowire
Rosario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit.
Ace lefty Tarik Skubal is on the bump for the Tigers, marking the first time all season that Rosario has not been in the lineup versus a southpaw when he was on the active roster. Jose Caballero will cover third base for the Yankees.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Clubs homer Monday
Rotowire
Rosario went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a loss to Detroit on Monday.
With Ryan McMahon getting the day off, Rosario started at third base and batted leadoff. He produced the bulk of New York's runs with a two-run blast in the seventh inning. Rosario has started at the hot corner three of the past four times the Yankees have faced a southpaw starter, so he seems to be in the short side of a platoon with McMahon at the moment.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Back from paternity leave
Rotowire
The Yankees activated Rosario from the paternity leave list Tuesday.
Rosario was away for the final two games of the weekend series versus the Athletics but is back for the start of the series against the Guardians. With lefty Joey Cantillo slated to start for Cleveland on Tuesday, Rosario will likely be in the Yankees' lineup.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Placed on paternity list
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Rosario on the paternity list prior to Saturday's game against the Athletics.
Rosario can be away from the Yankees for up to three days while on the paternity list, meaning he'll likely be back for Tuesday's series opener against the Guardians. The veteran utility man has gone 9-for-31 (.290) with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored in 11 games since May 1.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Mashes two homers Tuesday
Rotowire
Rosario went 4-for-6 with two home runs, three total runs and four total RBI in a 15-1 rout of the Royals on Tuesday.
New York put on an explosive offensive performance in the victory, racking up 24 hits, including six homers. Rosario led the way with his two long balls, both of which were two-run shots. The utility man finished with his first multi-hit game since April 18, and the homer was his first since April 22. Rosario has played sporadically this season but has performed well when called upon, slashing .279/.316/.547 with six homers, 13 runs and 20 RBI over 95 plate appearances.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Keeps pushing for more playing time
Rotowire
Rosario went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox.
Before coming out of the lineup for Ben Rice, Rosario did his damage courtesy of a three-run blast in the opening frame. Rosario was expected to be a short-side platoon player at third base with the lefty-swinging Ryan McMahon in 2026, but the former is soundly outproducing the latter at the plate to begin the year. McMahon has a .464 OPS across 48 at-bats, while Rosario sports an .880 OPS with six extra-base hits and 13 RBI over his 49 at-bats, having found success against both righties and lefties.
Rosario will start at third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Though he'll remain in the lineup for a sixth straight game while Ryan McMahon takes a seat, Rosario has largely been the beneficiary of the Yankees facing five left-handed starters during that stretch. The 30-year-old has been productive in his part-time role this season, slashing .250/.302/.500 with three home runs, nine RBI and five runs over 53 plate appearances.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Sticking with Yankees
Rotowire
Rosario signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Rosario appeared in just 16 regular-season games after being traded from the Nationals to the Yankees, going 10-for-33 with a homer and five RBI. The 30-year-old will now return to the Bronx and provide the Pinstripes with a bench piece who is capable of playing nearly every defensive position. Rosario slashed .302/.328/.491 against southpaws in 2025.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Clubs homer in loss
Rotowire
Rosario went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.
Rosario got the Yankees on the board by taking Garrett Crochet deep in the fourth inning. Playing time has been sparse for Rosario since he returned from a collarbone SC joint sprain Aug. 19, as he has played in just eight games over the last nearly four weeks. Overall, he has a .287/.320/.450 slash line with six homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base over 59 contests between the Yankees and the Nationals. For now, Rosario doesn't look to be a threat to Ryan McMahon's starting role at third base.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Back from IL
Rotowire
The Yankees reinstated Rosario (collarbone) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
The utility man is returning from the injured list after missing just the 10-day minimum due to a collarbone SC joint sprain. Rosario likely won't be a consistent presence in the lineup since New York's starting infield is currently healthy, but he should still see semi-regular playing time.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Shelved with SC joint sprain
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Rosario on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left collarbone SC joint sprain.
The veteran infielder was one of a trio of bench players the Yankees acquired at the trade deadline, but Jose Caballero is, at least temporarily, the last man standing from that group while Rosario joins Austin Slater (hamstring) on the IL. Rosario's injury isn't considered significant, and he could be ready to return when first eligible Aug. 19, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. He's appeared in four games for New York while going 3-for-7 with a double and an RBI.

Yankees' Amed Rosario: Shipped to New York
Rotowire
The Yankees acquired Rosario in a trade with Washington on Saturday in exchange for Clayton Beeter and Browm Martinez, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Rosario adds considerable versatility to the Yankees' roster, as he has played third base, second base, shortstop and right field this season. Over 47 games with the Nationals prior to the trade, he slashed .270/.310/.426 with five homers, 18 RBI and one stolen base. Rosario has seen more at-bats against lefties than righties this season and has hit southpaws well throughout his career, so he could be an option to at least occasionally spell the newly acquired Ryan McMahon -- who figures to get most of the starts at the hot corner but has struggled to a .599 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season.

Nationals' Amed Rosario: Opens scoring with homer
Rotowire
Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.
Rosario continues to play in a short-side platoon role in the Nationals' infield. His homer Friday was his second in June, but he's gone just 5-for-29 (.172) over 10 games this month. That won't help him push for more playing time in the long run, though he still gets looks against lefties to allow Luis Garcia or Brady House to get rest. Rosario is at a .271/.320/.432 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored, one stolen base and seven doubles over 126 plate appearances this season.

Nationals' Amed Rosario: Recovering from laceration
Rotowire
Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Rosario is day-to-day after he suffered a left leg laceration when he ran into a table at the team's hotel, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Rosario needed stitches to close the wound and is likely unavailable off the bench Friday in Baltimore. He had drawn three straight starts, but with Luis Garcia back from paternity leave, Rosario's playing time was set to dip even before his injury.

Nationals' Amed Rosario: On base four times Wednesday
Rotowire
Rosario went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians.
Getting the start at third base against southpaw Logan Allen and batting second, Rosario produced his second three-hit effort in his last three games. The veteran infielder has boosted his slash line on the season to .279/.300/.442 with two homers, one steal, nine RBI and 11 runs in 70 plate appearances, but he remains stuck in a timeshare at the hot corner with Jose Tena.

Nationals' Amed Rosario: Plates four runs in victory
Rotowire
Rosario went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double and four RBI in an 11-6 win against the Reds on Saturday.
Rosario doubled home a run in the fourth inning and later recorded the biggest hit for the Nationals, cracking a three-run home run in the sixth to break a 3-3 tie. The long ball was the second of the season for the veteran infielder -- the other came in his season debut March 29. Rosario's performance Saturday was also his first multi-hit effort since April 5. In between, he batted just .200 over 40 at-bats.
