Former Dodgers player Aimed Rosario has been released by the Cincinnati Reds after the return of key players from injury.
The Reds made room on their roster for Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Matt Mlan, leading to Rosario’s release.
Rosario began the season with the Tampa Bay Rays before being acquired by the Dodgers mid-season to address roster injuries.
Despite his versatility and potential to fill multiple positions, Rosario’s playing time diminished as key players returned from injuries.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the difficulty of the decision to release Rosario, citing the need to prioritize the main roster.
In his brief time with the Dodgers, Rosario played in five games, recording three hits in 11 at-bats, including a double and two RBIs.
Rosario’s contract ended earlier than expected due to his release, making him a free agent.
