Welcome to FlyerTalk!
AA can open up additional award inventory for you on AA metal. They will typically do that when the disruption is caused by an AA flight. Whether they will do so when the disruption is caused by a partner flight, I do not know.
How soon is the original AY flight that was cancelled, and how far in advance of departure date were you notified of the cancellation? Depending on the answer to those questions, you might have certain rights under EC 261/2004.
