Overview

  • Manager Aaron Boone announced on the Talkin’ Yanks podcast that Chisholm will start at second base Tuesday, ending his streak of 28 consecutive games at third.
  • DJ LeMahieu will transition to a reserve role with no plans for him to play third base given his physical limitations.
  • Prospect Oswald Peraza is slated to take over at third base as part of a fluid infield alignment.
  • The Yankees have checked in on Ke’Bryan Hayes as they pursue a long-term solution at the hot corner before the trade deadline.
  • An All-Star this season, Chisholm ranks second on the team with a .841 OPS and has hit 15 home runs in 59 games.
