Moreland joined the Red Sox ahead of the 2017 season and played an instrumental role in helping the team win the 2018 World Series.
Potts, an infielder, was a 2016 first-rounder who reached Double-A last year as a 20-year-old. He hit .227/.290/.406 last year in the Texas League.
Rosario, 20, is a centerfielder who hit .242/.372/.314 in High-A last year.
As part of the moves, the Red Sox released infielder Marco Hernandez and infielder Bobby Dalbec was called up to replace Moreland on the roster.
