The Dodgers acquired Rosario from the Rays on Monday in exchange for right-hander Michael Flynn, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Rosario will head back to Los Angeles, where he made his final 48 appearances of the 2023 season after being dealt from the Guardians last July. The 28-year-old owns a .307 average with two home runs, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 264 at-bats in 76 contests with the Rays this season. Rosario had made starts at second base, third base, shortstop and right field with the Rays and will give the Dodgers some valuable defensive versatility. He'll likely have to settle for a short-side platoon role when the Dodgers are at full strength, but he could have a path to steady playing time while the likes of Mookie Betts (hand), Max Muncy (oblique), Tommy Edman (wrist), Chris Taylor (groin) and Miguel Rojas (forearm) are on the injured list.
