7/03/25	Yankees Make Big Infield Changes. The New York Yankees are coming off of a terrible month, losing their significant lead in the AL East to the Toronto Blue Jays, with whom they are now tied. For tonight's fourth and final matchup against Toronto, the Yankees have made some big edits to the infield. According to a post by the team on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, the Pinstripes will have Ben Rice in at first base, Oswald Peraza in at second and Jazz Chisholm Jr. at third. While Chisholm Jr. has been playing at third base since his return from injury — which has also seen him dominate offensively — some starters are missing.

Tanner Swanson, the Yankees' director of catching, told The News that being smart about Rice's workload as a catcher is “the biggest challenge ahead.” Source: https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/17/heres-how-t...
