His major league debut was memorable as he went 3-3 in legendary Yankee Stadium to help the Athletics gain a victory over New York on June 9, 2006. However, on September 5 of that year, Rouse was designated for assignment. On September 13, Rouse was claimed off of waivers by the Indians. He made the Indians club in 2007 as the team's utility infielder. However, despite providing a reliable glove in the infield, he batted just .115 at the plate, and on August 6, 2007, he was designated for assignment.
Rouse signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox on January 12, 2008, but was traded during the season to the Philadelphia Phillies. He retired at the end of the season.
