Overview

• Manager Aaron Boone announced before Tuesday’s game that Jazz Chisholm Jr. will return to everyday second base.
• One day later, the Yankees designated two-time batting champion D.J. LeMahieu for assignment, leaving the club on the hook for about $22 million of his salary.
• Chisholm’s plus-three outs above average at second base versus minus-three at third, along with lingering right-shoulder soreness on throws, drove the position shift.
• Oswald Peraza has begun covering third base in a fluid platoon, with other in-house options filling hot-corner duties.
• General manager Brian Cashman and scouts have opened talks on external third-base targets—including Ryan McMahon, Eugenio Suárez, Ke’Bryan Hayes and Isiah Kiner-Falefa—ahead of the July 31 deadline.
