Rosario is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals. After a recent stretch of 10 starts in an 11-game span, Rosario now finds himself on the bench for the second straight day, with both absences coming against right-handed pitchers. Though Rosario looked to be gaining traction as the Reds' primary designated hitter, the team has seemingly pulled the plug on using him as an everyday player while he's managed a lowly .184/.216/.245 slash line since being claimed off waivers from the Dodgers on Aug. 18. The Reds may instead prefer to rotate a number of players at the DH spot rather than giving consistent at-bats to the struggling Rosario.

Rosario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in St. Louis. Rosario had started in the designated-hitter spot in eight of the last nine games, but he will get a day off Wednesday. Noelvi Marte will serve as the Reds' DH in Rosario's stead.

Rosario started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta. Rosario, who started for the eighth time in the last nine games, is getting plenty of opportunities but doesn't hold much fantasy value. Since joining the Reds in the middle of August, Rosario is batting .205 (9-for-44) with a home run, three RBI and six runs scored. Where may be useful is in steals; the utility infielder has swiped three bags in 16 games for Cincinnati and 13 for the season.

Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. Rosario has gone 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts over his last four games, and he will sit for Sunday's series finale. Santiago Espinal will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth against Mets right-hander Luis Severino.

Rosario will start at designated hitter and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Astros. It's the fifth straight start overall and fourth straight start against a righty for Rosario, who is traditionally a much better hitter versus left-handed pitching. He's slashing .250/.300/.357 with one home run and two stolen bases in 10 games since joining Cincinnati. Rosario could continue to play pretty regularly while Jeimer Candelario (toe) is out.
