Jazz Chisholm Jr. Moving Back to Second Base
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is making a permanent move from third base to second, manager Aaron Boone announced. Chisholm will start Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners at the keystone, while Oswald Peraza will handle third. Chisholm played his first 30 games of the season at second before going on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain on May 2. Since coming back on June 3, all 29 of Chisholm's appearances have come at the hot corner. While DJ LeMahieu has gotten the bulk of the work at second, the Yankees have a better defensive alignment with Chisholm on the right side of the infield. Peraza and LeMahieu could each see time at third, but they'll likely serve as placeholders until the July 31 trade deadline. The Yankees are all but guaranteed to swing a deal for an established third baseman before the end of the month. The Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez, the Rockies' Ryan McMahon, and the Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa (a former Yankee) are among the rumored targets for New York.
