Padres' Eguy Rosario: Optioned to Triple-A
The San Diego Padres optioned Eguy 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.

Padres' Eguy Rosario: Swats late homer
Eguy 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.

Padres' Eguy Rosario: Picking up more playing time
Eguy 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 San Diego 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.

Padres' Eguy Rosario: Drawing start at third base
Eguy Rosario will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.Tyler Wade and Graham Pauley have been drawing starts against right-handers, but with the Cards throwing southpaw Zack Thompson on Wednesday, the right-handed-hitting Rosario gets the nod. He is 2-for-10 with a double and a home run in the early going this season.

Padres' Eguy Rosario: Goes deep in loss
Eguy Rosario went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Giants.Rosario began the game on the bench before entering as a pinch hitter for Tyler Wade in the third inning. He struck out in that at-bat but came to the plate again in the ninth frame and swatted a two-run shot to left field. Rosario has an intriguing fantasy profile as an above-average base stealer with some power, but it's unclear if he'll get enough playing time this season to make an impact outside of dynasty formats.

Padres' Eguy Rosario: In competition at third base
Eguy Rosario is in the mix for starts at third base for the San Diego Padres while Manny Machado (elbow) is limited to the designated hitter spot, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Machado will need to DH at least for the club's March 20-21 series in South Korea and perhaps for a bit when it returns home, too. That opens up some at-bats at the hot corner, where Rosario is competing primarily with Graham Pauley and Matthew Batten. Rosario, 24, is 6-for-25 with a couple stolen bases in Cactus League play and went 9-for-36 with two homers during his brief time with the big club last season. He can play second base and shortstop, as well, putting him in contention for a reserve role even if he's not getting starts at third base.

Padres' Eguy Rosario: Lifts second homer
Eguy Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.Rosario has gone 5-for-19 (.263) over his first five games this season, and two of those hits have been homers. This was also his first multi-RBI effort in his career. The infielder has carved out some playing time at third base, sharing the hot corner with Matthew Batten, since Manny Machado (elbow) has been unable to play the field. There's no platoon situation here, but Rosario seems set to be in the lineup about half of the time down the stretch, and perhaps more if Batten has to continue filling in for Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) at second base.

Padres' Eguy Rosario: Hits first big-league homer
Eguy Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Houston.Rosario accounted for one of two San Diego runs in the contest with his 409-foot solo shot in the seventh inning. It was the first major-league homer for the 24-year-old, who went deep five times over 43 games with Triple-A El Paso before being called up last Friday. Rosario homered 22 times and stole 21 bases across 124 contests in Triple-A last season. He could get a decent look down the stretch with the San Diego Padres fading further out of contention for a playoff spot.
