acquired Rosario from Washington<\/a> prior to the trade deadline for his veteran presence, ability to play multiple infield positions and hit left-handers.\u00a0<\/p>\nIn 13 games since joining the Yankees, Rosario is 10-for-25 with four extra-base hits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the season, he entered Thursday with an .859 OPS against lefties.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And while he isn\u2019t playing every day, Rosario \u2014 now 29 \u2014 is happy with what he\u2019s been able to do as a Yankee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI prepare the same way I used to when I played every day,\u2019\u2019 Rosario said through an interpreter. \u201cIt\u2019s been something over the years where I\u2019ve gotten experience being in this position and have been able to come through.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Yankees value Rosario\u2019s defensive versatility and his effectiveness at the plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe prepares really well,\u2019\u2019 manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cHe\u2019s a pro. I love the energy he brings to the field. He has a veteran presence. He\u2019s been a starter in this league and morphed into a lefty killer who bounces around [on defense].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Rosario is enjoying this second chance of success in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very satisfying to be in this position,\u2019\u2019 Rosario said. \u201cI know how fans want teams in New York to win. I understand their expectations and I hope to get opportunities in the playoffs to deliver for them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There are no regrets with how his first tenure in New York ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glimpses of the potential the Mets believed he had at shortstop were fleeting and his time in Cleveland featured a solid season in 2022 before brief and mostly forgettable tenures with the Dodgers, Rays, Reds and Nationals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Asked if it was disappointing to have not developed into the player some had believed he could be with the Mets, Rosario said he didn\u2019t think much about it \u2014 then or now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t hard to deal with what everyone thought about me because early on, I was able to separate the level of expectations with the play on the field,\u201d he said. \u201cI was able to hit a switch and eliminate the noise and not have that impact the game on the field. If I thought about the extra pressure, it probably would impact the results, but I just wanted to play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
