Yankees acquire infielder Amed Rosario in trade with Nationals

By Canadian Press on July 26, 2025.

NEW YORK (AP) — The scuffling New York Yankees added infield depth Son aturday night, acquiring Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Clayton Beeter and a minor leaguer.

The move came hours after New York placed slugger Aaron Judge on the injured list — and one day after the Yankees obtained third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for two pitching prospects.

McMahon made his Yankees debut on Saturday in a 9-4 loss to Philadelphia.

The versatile and speedy Rosario can play third base, second base, shortstop and the outfield. He’s a right-handed hitter with an .816 OPS against left-handed pitching, which makes him a good fit for a part-time role with the Yankees.

McMahon and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. both bat left-handed. And shortstop Anthony Volpe, a right-handed hitter, is batting just .217 in his third major league season.

Beeter was 0-1 with a 14.73 ERA in two appearances out of New York’s bullpen this season. He was optioned to Triple-A Rochester.

The last-place Nationals also receive 18-year-old outfield prospect Browm Martinez, who was hitting .404 (23 for 57) with three homers, 16 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 18 games with the Dominican Summer League Yankees this year.
