Amed Rosario isn’t ready to change his uniform number to E6 just yet.
The Mets shortstop will arrive at Citi Field on Friday in the worst defensive slump of his major league career, with seven errors in his last six games, but he’s sure this trend will cease.
“I’m fine,” he said. “I have my head up. I am staying positive.”
Rosario missed two games earlier this week with a stomach ailment and returned to the lineup Wednesday, when he committed two throwing errors against the Phillies.
Though the Mets had doubts over one of the error ruling — Rosario was moving toward the hole and bounced the throw to Dominic Smith — it doesn’t change the fact the 23-year-old shortstop is having a rough week.
