Rosales will make the Opening Day roster, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. With Rougned Odor (shin) and Elvis Andrus (back) both likely to be ready by Opening Day, Rosales figures to serve as a utilityman to start the season. Rosales' value to the Rangers largely lies in his ability to play all four infield positions, as he owns a .226/.294/.342 slash line through 985 career at-bats, with 24 home runs and just eight stolen bases.

Rosales will return to Texas on a one-year, $900,000 deal for 2015, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports. After the Rangers suffered countless injuries, Rosales was called upon last season to play every position in the infield other than catcher, although he saw most of his time at first base. His value to Texas is certainly centered around his versatility, as a .262/.328/.378 slash line from a first baseman certainly doesn't blow anyone away. It would be difficult to envision him seeing as much time as he saw in 2014, and he was not an appealing option last season, so he should be even less useful in 2015.

The Rangers will not tender Rosales a contract, making him a free agent. He was forced into more action than he was probably ready for last season due to all of the injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. In 181 plate appearances, Rosales slashed .262/.328/.378 with four home runs and four steals. He should be able to catch on with another team, but with second base a position of significant depth for the Rangers, he was not needed in Texas for 2015.

Rosales is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros. Ryan Rua will start at first base, as Rosales will get a day off. He's had a strong season, slashing .283/.351/.408 in what's been an otherwise disappointing season for the Rangers.

Rosales went 3-for-5 with three singles, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-6 rout of the Astros. With the Rangers decimated by injuries, Rosales has taken advantage of his opportunities in the lineup during recent weeks. Dating back to August 5, the veteran utility man has posted a .367 batting average to go with an outstanding .436 OBP, a couple of homers and 10 RBI.

Rosales went 2-for-4 with a walk-off single in the ninth to give the Rangers the 3-2 win over the Angels on Sunday. Rosales has been one of the Rangers' best hitters this season, posting a .320 batting average in 50 at-bats. He has eight hits in an August that has seen him bat .364. It's his fourth multi-hit game of the month.

Rosales (.342/.419/.632) scored a run on Friday night as he went 2-for-4 with one of his hits being a ninth inning double off of Astros closer Chad Qualls. It's been an nice mini-run for Rosales as he's gone 8-for-12 with two homers, five runs scored and four RBI over his last three games played for the Rangers - not bad for a guy not getting everyday at-bats. Rosales, who got the start at first base on Friday, has now played played four different positions this season (1B, 2B, 3B and SS) while also garnering DH at-bats.

Rosales went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers and three RBI in the Rangers' win over the White Sox on Wednesday. The blasts came against Chris Sale and Daniel Webb, and ultimately supplied all of the runs for the Rangers on a day where Nick Tepesch delivered 5.2 shutout innings. Most of Rosales' playing time will continue to come on the wrong side of a platoon when the Rangers face left-handed starters.

Adam Rosales belted his first home run of the season as the Rangers fell to the Athletics 9-3 on Sunday. Rosales got the Rangers on the board in the second inning by taking a Scott Kazmir offering over the wall in left field for a two-run homer. He finished the night 1-for-3 and is now hitting .250/.333/.417 with five RBI in his first 24 at-bats on the year.

Rangers purchased the contract of INF Adam Rosales from Triple-A Round Rock. Rosales has posted a decent .276/.349/.434 batting line with seven home runs and 43 RBI in 72 games this season at the Triple-A level. He'll act as a utility infielder.
