Eddie Rosario’s time with the Dodgers just became an even more minor footnote in his 2025 season.
The Milwaukee Brewers signed Rosario, who was cut by the Dodgers after only two games in April, to a minor league contract Wednesday. As first noted on Twitter/X by Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Brewers assigned Rosario to their Triple-A Nashville affiliate.

A minor league contract doesn’t guarantee the Dodgers will see Rosario later this season, but it doesn’t rule it out either. The Dodgers visit the Brewers July 7-9, just before the All-Star break, and host Milwaukee afterward (July 18-20 at Dodger Stadium).
The Dodgers signed Rosario to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training in February. He went 4 for 26 (.154) with two home runs and five RBIs in the Cactus League, and was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the regular season.

Rosario played 14 games with the Dodgers’ top farm team, slashing .339/.406/.542 to earn the promotion when Shohei Ohtani left the team for the birth of his daughter.
Rosario, 33, filled in while Ohtani was on paternity leave, going 1 for 4 with a single in his two appearances. He was designated for assignment when Ohtani returned, then signed with the Braves three days after being released by the Dodgers.
