Francisco Alberto Rosario Divison (born September 28, 1980 in San Rafael del Yuma, Dominican Republic) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher. He currently plays for the Guerreros de Oaxaca of the Mexican League

Rosario was originally signed as an amateur free agent by Toronto on January 11, 1999. Rosario missed all of 2003 recuperating from Tommy John surgery. Throughout the minors, Rosario showed flashes of excellence, but has been inconsistent. Rosario, a former starter, was converted to the bullpen in mid-2005.

His MLB debut came with the Blue Jays in a relief appearance against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on May 6, 2006, pitching a hitless 8th inning while walking one and striking out one. His first MLB win came on May 10, 2006, with the Toronto, against the Oakland Athletics. He pitched a scoreless 5th and 6th inning, giving up only two hits while striking out three and not giving up a single walk. Out of 31 pitches thrown, 22 were strikes.

Rosario made his first, and to date only, major league start August 5, 2006, going three innings for the Blue Jays against the Chicago White Sox. He threw 71 pitches in his first start, including 41 strikes. He struck out two, walked two, and gave up five hits, three runs, all of them earned.
