The New York Post's Jon Heyman reported Thursday afternoon that catcher Rafael Flores was one Yankees prospect who has been coveted by trade partners. Flores was promoted from Dou

The club swung a trade with the Washington Nationals on Saturday for utility infielder Amedd Rosario, according to team broadcaster Jack Curry. Going back to D.C. are pitcher Clayton Beeter and Browm Martinez.

The Yankees have had a need for a third baseman since releasing DJ LeMahieu and moving Jazz Chisholm back to the keystone. As of late, manager Aaron Boone has used a combination of Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas at the hot corner. Clearly New York, now 4 ½ games back in the American League East, was not satisfied with that arrangement.

The biggest drama of this year's trade deadline for the Yankees is playing out 350 miles northwest of the Bronx.

The Yankees entered play on Saturday afternoon against the Phillies with the second-worst bullpen ERA in Major League Baseball since May 30 (5.49). They had the highest home run per nine ratio (1.7) and were tied with the Nationals for the worst FIP in relief in that span (5.17). All of those numbers went up in Saturday’s loss.

After a 12-run, 14-hit outburst Friday night, the Phillies pounded 13 hits and drew seven walks Saturday. They’ll take aim at a sweep on Sunday.

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are both reportedly pursuing a trade for the same All-Star utilityman from the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Phillies face the Yankees at 1:35 p.m. on July 27. Right-hander Zack Wheeler (9-3, 2.39 ERA) will pitch for the Phillies. Left-hander Carlos Rondon (10-7, 3.10 ERA) will pitch for the Yankees. The game will be broadcast on NBCSP. The radio broadcast will be on 94WIP and WDEL 101.7 FM/1150 AM.
