Wilin Rosario returned to his natural perch behind home plate last month. He’s in a catcher platoon for Águilas Cibaeñas in the Dominican Winter League, hitting a robust .338/.402/.459 in 74 at-bats.
But when he returns, it may be with the Albuquerque Isotopes.
Rosario on Monday was outrighted to Triple-A after the Rockies designated him for assignment Nov. 20 and he cleared waivers. While the Cubs swooped in to trade for DFA’d lefty reliever Rex Brothers and the White Sox swapped for right-hander Tommy Kahnle, no teams bit on Rosario.
So he’ll head back to the minors.
