Yankees Reduce LeMahieu's Role, Chisholm Returns

News summary

The New York Yankees have officially reduced DJ LeMahieu's role to that of a bench bat, with manager Aaron Boone citing LeMahieu's declining performance and lingering injuries as reasons. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has returned from injury to reclaim second base, while Oswald Peraza is now starting at third base. The Yankees have also signed additional infielders to bolster their depth. This roster shift comes as the team has lost 16 of its last 23 games and is focusing on youth and improved production. LeMahieu, who is owed significant money through 2026 and has limited trade value, is the subject of speculation regarding a potential trade, release, or continued bench role. The move has been supported by fans and analysts who say the Yankees need to prioritize more effective options in the infield.
