The Padres optioned Rosario to Triple-A El Paso on Friday. With Luis Campusano (thumb) returning from the injured list, Rosario will end up as the odd man out on San Diego's active roster. The 24-year-old has slashed .245/.286/.528 in 57 plate appearances with the Padres this season, and his OPS is 1.022 at Triple-A. Should the Padres run into any problems with infield depth in the future, Rosario would be a likely candidate to rejoin the big-league squad.

The Padres recalled Rosario from Triple-A El Paso on Monday. Rosario started the season with the big club, slashing .250/.294/.542 with three home runs and six RBI over 52 plate appearances before he was optioned to the minors May 5 with Manny Machado returning to third base. In Triple-A, Rosario was slashing .289/.400/.622 with 10 home runs and 35 RBI before his second call-up to the majors. To make room for Rosario on the 26-man roster, Jose Azocar was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Rosario was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday. Rosario hadn't made a start since April 29 and will now head down to the minors. The Padres selected the contract of Donovan Solano from El Paso in a corresponding move.

Rosario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Phillies. Rosario's eighth-inning solo shot didn't have much of an impact on the final outcome, but it did end Ranger Suarez's scoreless streak at 32.2 innings. The blast also snapped a 15-game homerless stretch for Rosario, though he often came on as a pinch hitter and thus had just 25 at-bats during that stretch. The 24-year-old had been seeing his playing time trend up of late, but that could be impacted by Manny Machado's return to playing third base Friday.

Rosario went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run and an RBI in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Rockies. Rosario made his third start at third base in four games, with Thursday's assignment being particularly notable since it came with the Padres facing a right-handed hurler in Colorado's Dakota Hudson. Tyler Wade had been starting at the hot corner against right-handers in the early part of the season, but Rosario could end up unseating him as the preferred option at the position, at least until Manny Machado is able to play the field once he completes his recovery from offseason elbow surgery. Rosario has been more productive at the dish than Wade this season with a .282/.333/.564 slash line, two home runs, five doubles and five RBI over 43 plate appearances, and the 24-year-old might have earned himself more opportunities against right-handed pitching as a result.
