There's a very real chance the New York Yankees will need to find a replacement for Jazz Chisholm with a stint on the injured list looming.
After an MRI revealed further damage to Chisholm's left elbow after injuring it sliding into home plate Monday night, the Yankees may be without the star infielder for significant time.
If they wanted to look outside the organization for a potential replacement while upgrading the bench, they could pursue Amed Rosario, who was just designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This was a bit surprising considering his solid season with a 113 OPS + in 81 games. Though, the Dodgers needed to make room for the return of Mookie Betts.
Rosario has been a previous target of the Yankees before during last offseason. However, the veteran opted to sign with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Rosario has experience playing three infield positions as well as the corner outfield. He would bring a quality bat to the bench while providing depth all over the field.
The Yankees are expecting veteran Jon Berti to being a rehab assignment soon, but they may not be able to afford to wait until he's fully healed.
A team higher in the waiver order might beat the Yankees to it, but Rosario makes a lot of sense as the Yankees look to find a replacement for Chisholm.
