The Trapezius muscles are involved in upward rotation of the scapula. However Trapezius is agonist/antagonist to itself as the upper portion elevates the scapula, the middle portion adducts the scapula and the lower portion depresses the scapula, while all parts are involved in upward rotation of the scapula.

The Serratus Anterior assists in rotating the scapula (glenoid fossa) upward, (which would make it a synergist with the trapezius). The Serratus Anterior is antagonist to the upper and middle portions of Trapezius, so we are back to the agonist /antagonist relationship of the traps.

That's about all I can contribute to this question.
