The Dodgers and Rays continue to be two of the deadlines more active teams, as Los Angeles reacquired from Tampa Bay. Minor league righty heads to the Rays in return in a one-for-one swap. To create roster space for Rosario, the Dodgers have designated for a signment Rosario has now been a deadline pickup for the Dodgers in consecutive years, after L.A. acquired him from the Guardians in exchange for last July. Rosario hit .256/.301/.408 over 133 plate appearances for the Dodgers following the trade, primarily playing second base with a few appearances at his old shortstop position, after primarily playing Carol Vadnais Jersey short in his previous six seasons with the Guardians and Mets. After signing a one-year, $1.5MM deal with the Rays last winter, Rosario moved into more of a full utility role, spending most of his time at second base and left field while still getting substantial playing time at shortstop and third base. The initial expectation was that the right-handed hitting Rosario would mostly face left-handed pitching, but between injuries and his respectable splits, Rosario ended up facing more right-handers than southpaws while hitting an overall .307/.331/.417 acro s 275 PA for Tampa Bay. Rosario has a 115 wRC+, which would be a career high if he can keep it going over the rest of the season. Rosario could just slot back right back into regular second-base duty in a platoon with , but a larger role is probably in store for Rosario while the Dodgers try to manage several injuries. With , , , , and all on the mend, Rosario figures to get a decent dose of playing time all over the infield. With only around $500K still owed to Rosario in salary for the rest of the season, the trade is a cost-effective move for the Dodgers that might pay big dividends, considering Rosarios quality numbers and his familiarity with playing in Los Angeles. The deal also continues Andrew Friedmans long history of trading with his former team, as the L.A. president of baseball operations has swung since leaving the Rays for the Dodgers back in 2014. Flynn is just over a week away from his 28th birthday, and hell get to celebrate by once more changing organizations during his pro career. A sixth-round pick for the Pirates in 2018, Flynn also spent time in the Mariners farm system before joining the Dodgers this season, and he has a 4.95 ERA over 36 1/3 relief innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City. As with most Pacific Coast League numbers, a look behind the ERA is nece sary in the hitter-friendly league, and Flynn has a 32.1% strikeout rate and 9.6% walk rate. His strikeout numbers have increased exponentially over his last two seasons, and given the Rays penchant for uncovering hidden gems, it stands to reason that Tampa has seen something in Flynn that might put him in line for his Major League debut. Since the Dodgers injury woes also extend to their pitching staff, Yarbroughs DFA counts as a bit of a surprise, as he has been a fairly effective arm for L.A. since being picked up from the Royals at last years trade deadline. This season Yarbrough has a 3.74 ERA in 67 1/3 innings while working as a long reliever and occasional bulk pitcher, albeit with such unimpre sive metrics as an 8.9% walk rate and a 13.9% strikeout rate. That latter number is one of the lowest K-rates in the sport, though he has also been one of the leagues best at limiting hard contact, albeit with some significant help from a .214 BABIP. Yarbroughs 4.96 SIERA apparently carried more weight for the Dodgers than his ERA of over a run lower, so Los Angeles has now sent the veteran to the DFA wire. The left-handers ability to eat innings out of the pen could make him a candidate for a waiver claim, particularly since several teams might have holes to fill in their relief corps if other relievers are traded by the deadline. first reported the Dodgers were acquiring Rosario. reported Flynn was going back to Tampa. first reported the Yarbrough DFA.
