Back in platoon role
Rosario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Analysis
During the final week of June, the utility player had been serving as a near-everyday player for the Yankees, but the returns of Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (throat/ear) from the injured list Friday have pushed Rosario back into a short-side platoon role. Rosario has been left out of the lineup for all three games of the weekend series while Minnesota has sent three right-handed starters to the bump.

Goes yard in defeat
Rosario went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 extra-innings loss the Tigers.
Analysis
Rosario went deep for the third time in his past eight games Wednesday. The veteran utility man has started seven consecutive games for the banged-up Yankees, but he could get squeezed for playing time once Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (illness) come off the injured list. Through 153 plate appearances, Rosario is slashing .250/.294/.486 with nine homers, four doubles, 27 RBI and 20 runs scored.

Clubs homer off bench Monday
Rosario belted a three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Monday's 7-3 loss to Detroit.
Analysis
The Yankees were being shut out when Rosario came off the bench to pinch hit for Austin Wells with two runners on base in the eighth inning. The utility man came through with a blast to left-center field to plate the only New York runs in the game. Rosario had made four straight starts prior to Monday, and he could be in store for more opportunities in the lineup moving forward after Jazz Chisholm landed in concussion protocol following a collision with teammate Jasson Dominguez in Monday's loss.
