Overview

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. has resumed full-time duty at second base after 28 starts at third and lingering right shoulder soreness.
  • Aaron Boone confirmed DJ LeMahieu will transition to a reserve role with no plans to deploy him at third base.
  • Oswald Peraza has been installed as the interim third baseman, valued for his defensive versatility across the infield.
  • New York has reached out about potential third-base upgrades, including Ke’Bryan Hayes, Eugenio Suárez, Nolan Arenado, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Ryan McMahon.
  • The realignment aims to stabilize a shaky infield and guide the team’s critical decisions ahead of the trade deadline.
