This is an interesting move because there doesn't seem to be an opening for Osuna unless someone else from Indianapolis moves up or out.
He has been playing first base most of the season until Edwin Espinal started tearing the cover off the ball in June. Osuna moved to left field, then played some right field as well, while also going back to first base occasionally. His defense is best at first base, but he isn't lost in the outfield and has a very strong arm.
