Rosales is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Rosales is the favorite to see the bulk of the work at third base with Yangervis Solarte (hamstring) on the disabled list, but the Padres will go with the switch-hitting Alexi Amarista at third base in order to get another left-handed hitter in the lineup against Phillies starter Aaron Nola.

Rosales started a third base and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's win over the Rockies. He's set to start at third base in the short term with Yangervis Solarte on the DL with a hamstring injury, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosales got the start at third base Sunday, but it's not clear how the Padres plan to fill the position with Solarte out. San Diego could mix and match between Rosales, Brett Wallace and Alexi Amarista.

Rosales had his contract selected by the Padres on Sunday, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old Rosales has bounced around for the majority of his MLB career, most recently playing 111 total games for the Rangers between 2014 and 2015. He'll make the Opening Day roster as a utility infielder, but steady playing time is not a guarantee.

Rosales inked a minor league contract with the Padres on Friday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosales couldn't find his footing at the plate last season with the Rangers, slashing just .228/.296/.342 with three home runs over 114 at-bats with the club that eventually resulted in his designation for assignment in August. Rather than accept it, the veteran elected free agency and has now found a home in San Diego. The 32-year-old utility infielder now joins a San Diego organization that doesn't present a ton of outstanding options in the infield, and could provide him with an opportunity for him at the major league level. However, it seems likely he'll be bound for Triple-A to begin the season.

Rosales is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Rosales turned in a big performance at the plate Saturday, going 4-for-4 with two runs scored and raising his batting average from .200 to .246 on the season. Hanser Alberto will start at shortstop in his place Sunday, batting ninth for the Rangers.

Rosales is in the lineup Thursday against Boston. Rosales will get the call against Boston left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, pushing Tommy Field, who's started the last three games, to the bench. Rosales will hit eighth in the order after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout in two pinch-hit at-bats Wednesday against Cleveland.

Rosales is not in the lineup Monday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Rosales will return to the bench after starting the last three games at second base over Rougned Odor. Odor was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, but the Rangers recalled Tommy Field, who will get the nod at second base Monday.

Rosales will make his third straight start at second base Sunday against the Rays, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. For the time being, it appears Rosales has displaced the struggling Rougned Odor as the Rangers' top option at second base. Though Rosales has two homers on his season ledger, his ugly .158/.220/.316 line and low placement in the Rangers' batting order makes him a rather unappealing option outside of AL-only leagues. Rosales is best utilized as a utility infielder off the bench, so expect Odor to reclaim his starting role once he breaks out of his offensive slumber.

Rosales was a late addition to Friday's lineup against the Mariners, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Rosales will fill in for Mitch Moreland, who was a late scratch from the lineup. He'll bat eighth in the order Friday.

Rosales went 1-for-4 with his first homer of the year and two strikeouts Wednesday in a loss to the Angels. He got the start at first base and shifted to third after Adrian Beltre was rested in the rout. Rosales won't see many starts around the Rangers' infield, and his bat is of very limited fantasy value.
