Overview

  • The Yankees acquired veteran infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals on July 27 in exchange for right-hander Clayton Beeter and outfielder Browm Martinez.
  • Rosario is batting .270/.310/.426 this season with five home runs and owns an .816 OPS against left-handed pitching while having played second base, third base, shortstop and the outfield.
  • The trade meets New York’s need for a right-handed bench option after placed slugger Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list with a right flexor strain.
  • Washington received Clayton Beeter, a 26-year-old reliever ranked No. 20 in the Yankees system with a 3.10 ERA over 18 Triple-A appearances and five major-league outings, and 18-year-old OF Browm Martinez, who hit .404 with three homers and 13 steals in 18 Dominican Summer League games.
  • This marks Rosario’s third consecutive July deadline trade and his sixth team since the end of 2023, underscoring the demand for versatile veterans on expiring contracts.
