Guardians' Amed Rosario: Provides lone run in loss
Rotowire
Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-1 loss to the Yankees in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Rosario went 0-for-3 with a walk in the matinee, but he was able to spot the Guardians an early lead with his first-inning blast in the nightcap. He did go without a hit in consecutive contests for the first time since May 5-7, an impressive stretch that's seen him emerge as a reliable bat in the No. 2 spot in the order. The 26-year-old is slashing .287/.322/.397 with three homers, 23 RBI, 40 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 298 plate appearances. All three of his long balls have come since June 15, so it looks like his power is trending in the right direction, though his playing style is more contact-oriented.
Rosario went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins.
Rosario is hot to end June, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games. He's gone 18-for-40 (.450) in that span, though only four of those hits have gone for extra bases. The shortstop has raised his batting average from .265 to .293 in that span, and he's up to a .723 OPS after Wednesday's impressive performance. He's added nine steals in 11 attempts, two home runs, 22 RBI and 39 runs scored through 285 plate appearances.

Guardians' Amed Rosario: Back-to-back three-hit games
Rotowire
Rosario went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Rosario recorded three singles for a second straight game, but unfortunately the three batters right behind him went a combined 0-for-10 in this contest. The 26-year-old has lifted his slash line to .240/.295/.279, but he's still without a home run through 112 plate appearances. He's added a stolen base, seven RBI and 12 runs scored. With Andres Gimenez holding down the shortstop spot, Rosario has moved into a starting role in left field of late.
Rosario went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 12-9 extra-innings win over the White Sox.
All three of Rosario's hits were singles. This was his first multi-hit game since April 22, which is an encouraging sign for the 26-year-old as he looks to maintain an everyday role in the lineup. The strong play of Andres Gimenez lately has forced Rosario into left field, where he'll likely compete with Oscar Mercado and Steven Kwan for two places on manager Terry Francona's lineup card. Rosario owns a .220/.278/.260 slash line with seven RBI, 12 runs scored, two doubles and a stolen base through 108 plate appearances. He's yet to hit a home run after going yard 11 times last year.
