The New York Yankees have made significant roster moves, acquiring veteran infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals in exchange for pitcher Clayton Beeter and outfielder Brown Martinez. This acquisition marks the Yankees' second infield addition in a weekend where they also brought in Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies. Rosario, a 29-year-old with a solid batting line of .270/.310/.426 in 46 games this season, adds depth as he potentially forms a platoon with McMahon or plays a super-utility role against left-handed pitching.

In his career, Rosario has struggled with right-handed pitchers and defensive consistency but has shown improvements in bat speed, leading to his highest isolated slugging percentage. Meanwhile, Beeter has had a rocky start with a 3.80 ERA in five major league outings, while the 18-year-old Martinez is still developing in the minors. Notably, the Yankees are facing challenges as they dropped to 56-48 after a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies and the injury of star Aaron Judge, who has been placed on the injured list. Manager Aaron Boone remains hopeful that Judge's absence will be brief.
