The Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing back a familiar face for infield depth. The Dodgers are acquiring utility man Amed Rosario from the Tampa Bay Rays for right-hander Michael Flynn, the team announced late Monday. Los Angeles designated veteran lefty Ryan Yarbrough for assignment in a corresponding move.

Rosario, 28, finished last season with the Dodgers after coming over in a deadline trade with the Cleveland Guardians. He is hitting .307/.331/.417 with two homers in 76 games this season while playing second base, third base, shortstop, and right field. A year ago Rosario slashed .256/.301/.408 with the Dodgers. He played mostly against lefties.
