NEW YORK — The Yankees traded for another infielder on Saturday night, acquiring Amed Rosario from the Nationals.

The trade will send minor league pitcher Clayton Beeter, a member of the 40-man roster, and Browm Martinez, an outfielder in the Dominican Summer League, to Washington, D.C.

Rosario, who began his career with the Mets, isn’t a great defender, but he can play almost anywhere. He’s mostly manned second and third this season, but he’s also spent time at shortstop and in the outfield in his career. A right-handed hitting utility infielder, he checks another box for the Yankees after they acquired the lefty-swinging Ryan McMahon to play third base.

The 29-year-old Rosario, traded for the third consecutive summer, was hitting .270/.310/.426 with five home runs, 18 RBIs and a 105 wRC+ for the Nationals. He has an .819 OPS against left-handed pitching, as well as a knack for putting the ball in play and avoiding strikeouts.

Rosario could take Aaron Judge’s spot on the roster on Sunday, as the right fielder is going on the injured list with a right flexor strain. Another possibility is that Rosario’s arrival leads to the end of Oswald Peraza’s time with the team.

Beeter, originally acquired from the Dodgers for Joey Gallo, appeared in two big league games for the Yankees this season. He allowed six earned runs over 3 2/3 innings.

The 26-year-old righty, who debuted with the Yankees last year, had a 3.10 ERA over 18 games at Triple-A.

Martinez, 18, is in his second Dominican Summer League season. He was hitting .404 with three homers, 16 RBIs and 13 stolen bases over 18 games.

With the Yankees having now addressed their infield twice, their attention will turn to pitching. They could use multiple relief upgrades for their battered bullpen, as well as some rotation help.
