Rosales announced his retirement from baseball on his personal Twitter page Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales' career was far from illustrious, but he managed to get at least some big-league time in 11 straight seasons from 2008 to 2018. He'll hang up his cleats with a career .226/.291/.365 slash line in 653 major-league games, appearing everywhere on the field except catcher and center field.

Rosales (oblique) was reinstated from Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list Sunday and has since appeared in two games for the affiliate.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales was sidelined for slightly more than the minimum amount of time with the oblique injury. He'll fill a utility role for Columbus now that he's healthy again but will probably need multiple infielders at the big-league level to succumb to injuries before receiving a callup.

Rosales was placed on the injured list at Triple-A Columbus with an oblique injury Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of the injury is not yet clear. Rosales is not on Cleveland's 40-man roster, so he's unlikely to be considered for a callup even if healthy.

Rosales was traded to Cleveland for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
He'll likely just add depth at Triple-A for the Indians. He was hitting .194 with a .485 OPS at Triple-A Rochester.

Rosales signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales is back with the Twins after being cut loose by Minnesota last week. The utility man, who hit .294/.368/.735 with four homers and a 4:4 BB:K through 15 Grapefruit League games, will report to Triple-A Rochester to open the season.

Rosales was released by the Twins on Friday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales held his own in camp, slashing .294/.368/.735 with four homers and a 4:4 BB:K through 15 games. Still, it wasn't enough for the utility man to secure a spot on Minnesota's Opening Day roster. Rosales will look to latch on elsewhere as a utility option.

Rosales went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and a walk Wednesday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales took Ranger Suarez deep in the second inning for his first homer of spring. The non-roster invitee, who is currently 2-for-6 through a trio of Grapefruit League games, is currently on the outside looking in at a roster spot.

Rosales signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Twins on Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales will earn $1 million if he makes the major-league roster and can elect to opt out on March 19. The veteran has received at least some big-league playing time in 11 straight seasons but only received 21 plate appearances last year. The 35-year-old can fill in all around the infield and occasionally in the outfield corners, but his light bat (a career .226/.291/.365 slash line) means it's unlikely he'll earn an Opening Day roster spot.

Rosales had his contract purchased by Cleveland on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales has spent the season with Triple-A Columbus, hitting a modest .239/.313/.445. The veteran has appeared everywhere but catcher and center field over his 10-year major-league career, but his .227/.292/.365 career slash line means he'll be nothing more than bench depth for Cleveland.

Rosales signed a contract with the Indians on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosales has found a new home after failing to secure a roster spot with the Phillies and subsequently being released. The 34-year-old will report to Triple-A Columbus to open the season. While he has the ability to play around the infield, Rosales hit just .225/.260/.353 in 105 games with the A's and Diamondbacks last season, so he could be limited to an organizational depth role.
