Rosales had debris around his navicular bone cleaned out and two screws were inserted to help the healing process, which is expected to last three to four months. He is currently in a boot and using crutches. 'We thought that would completely heal it, just being off of it for that long,' Rosales said. 'We tried to do everything we could to make it heal on its own because it's best if it heals on its own. Knowing I had to have the surgery was pretty devastating, but, like I said, I'm learning a lot.' IFs Steven Tolleson and Eric Sogard are candidates to make the team in a utility role with Rosales sidelined.
