The Yankees shifted Jazz Chisholm Jr. from third base to second base, indicating a change in the team’s infield strategy. DJ LeMahieu has been sidelined, raising concerns about his future with the team. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged LeMahieu's physical challenges at third base, emphasizing no plans to revert him there. Oswald Peraza started at third, forecasted to take the everyday role. Meanwhile, despite LeMahieu's recent improved batting average, his defensive performance has reportedly declined, leading to scrutiny from scouts and affecting his standing on the roster.
Manager Aaron Boone noted, "I think physically it's a challenge for him right now" concerning DJ LeMahieu's ability to play third base effectively. This evaluation hints at LeMahieu's diminishing fielding skills since April.
A rival scout observed, "He just can't move anymore. I love DJ... But he just looks cooked in the field," emphasizing the decline in LeMahieu's defensive capabilities.
