Yankees Place Amed Rosario on 10-Day Injured List with Shoulder Sprain

The New York Yankees placed infielder/outfielder Amed Rosario on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder sternoclavicular (SC) joint sprain after he collided with the right-field fence while attempting a catch in a game against the Houston Astros. Despite the injury, Rosario expressed optimism about returning exactly when the 10-day period ends. The Yankees recalled catcher J.C. Escarra from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Rosario's roster spot. Rosario, who was acquired from the Washington Nationals at the trade deadline, had been performing well, hitting 3-for-7 in four games with the Yankees and providing valuable versatility. His injury is seen as a setback for the Yankees, who had planned to use Rosario in a utility role alongside fellow deadline addition Ryan McMahon at third base. However, the injury is not considered serious, and there is a strong possibility Rosario will return to the lineup soon.
