Braves sign Rosario to minor-league contract
The Atlanta Braves signed veteran outfielder Eddie Rosario to a minor-league contract, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman.
Rosario was released by the Washington Nationals on Wednesday after posting a .555 OPS with seven home runs and 26 RBIs across 67 games this season.
The Nationals signed Rosario to a minor-league contract in the offseason after he spent parts of three campaigns with the Braves.
Rosario helped Atlanta to a World Series title in 2021, taking home NLCS MVP along the way. The 32-year-old hit 33 home runs with 114 RBIs and a .721 OPS in 255 games with the team.
Rosario could emerge as an option in left field after the Braves optioned Forrest Wall to Triple-A. He made 24 appearances in left field, 25 in right field, and 15 as a designated hitter for the Nationals this season.
