In 2006, he improved to 5-5 with a 1.78 ERA for the same club, with a WHIP under 1. He came stateside in 2007 with the Billings Mustangs, going 5-4 with a 3.97 ERA while having nearly as many walks (30) as Ks (40). He was 10th in the Pioneer League in ERA.

Del Rosario had an excellent 2009, jumping up two tiers. He was 2-1 with 7 saves and a 1.98 ERA in 31 games for Sarasota, with only 6 walks in 50 innings. He was briefly with the AA Carolina Mudcats, allowing one run in 5 2/3 innings while striking out nine and earning a save.

He then was 3-2 with two saves and a 1.99 ERA for the Gigantes del Cibao to help them finish second in the Dominican League. The Reds added him to their 40-man roster that off-season.
He kicked off 2010 back with Louisville and again was lights-out, with a 1-1, 1.46 record and 3 saves in 20 games while walking only 4 in 24 2/3 innings. He was called up to the majors when Homer Bailey went on the Disabled List. In his MLB debut, Del Rosario relieved Aaron Harang with one on in the 7th, one out and a 7-4 lead over the Pirates. He struck out Andrew McCutchen on six pitches then was replaced by Danny Herrera. He made a second appearance against the Pirates on the 27th, then was then reassigned to make room on the roster for Sam LeCure.
