Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters after the game that Rosario is expected to miss a few games, but should not need a trip to the injured list.

 In 33 games since returning from the injured list, the thirty-year-old has hit .234/.270/.421, with 12 runs scored, four home runs and 18 RBIs. 

Rosario missed a few months at the beginning of the season due to a vision-related eye procedure. There's a good chance he returns later this week.
