The Dodgers announced Monday that they've reinstated Mookie Betts from the 60-day injured list and created space in somewhat surprising fashion: infielder/outfielder and trade deadline acquisition Amed Rosario has been designated for assignment.
Rosario, 28, was acquired in a trade sending 28-year-old minor league reliever Michael Flynn back to the Rays. It wasn't a steep price to pay necessarily, but it's nevertheless unexpected to see Los Angeles move on in such quick fashion.
The versatile Rosario received only 12 plate appearances in his second stint with Los Angeles - the Dodgers also acquired him at the 2023 deadline - and has hit well all season.
In 287 plate appearances between Tampa Bay and L.A., he's slashing .305/.331/.415 - about 14% better than league-average, by measure of wRC+.
