In Chapter 1003, CP 0 talks about needing to take down the Beast Pirate executives to successfully win the war:
We are shown the status of the other combatant Strawhats:
All the other Strawhats shown in the scan above where engaged with the Tobi Roppo (one group of the executives CP 0 mentioned), so I would expect that Yamato was engaged with an executive themselves.
Of the Tobi Roppo, all but Page One seem to be spoken for:
It is possible that Pay Pay has gone off to do his own thing, but I still wouldn't expect him to come into conflict with Yamato. If any of the Tobi Roppo were to be their opponent, I would expect it to be Ulti due to her grudge towards Yamato for knocking her out.
Of the executives, this leaves the Calamities. Marco was occupying King and Queen, and they were regardless in the main hall to protect access to the rooftop. It's possible that they've gotten around Marco, but I wouldn't expect them to change location/leave, and on priors, I wouldn't expect King or Queen to be Yamato's final opponent (I think Sanji and/or Drake will be responsible for Queen, and Marco or Zoro will take down King). I do think it's more likely Yamato faces King than Queen, but I would expect it to be neither.
This leaves us with Jack, and we know he was recovering his strength after his beating at the hands of the Sulong Dukes. It's plausible he's come back to action and is currently occupying Yamato.
Alternatively, Yamato is just dealing with fodder or some Numbers.
What do you guys think?

- Sanji is running away from Maria
- Nami and Usopp are running away from Ulti
- Jimbe is fighting Who's Who
- And we see Yamato Fighting somebody while leading Momonosuke and Shinobu
