The New York Yankees are in a horrible funk.
They’re on the verge of being swept by the New York Mets, of all rivals, while in the midst of a 6 game losing streak. They’ve lost 7 of 9 overall after dropping their late-June series to the Cincinnati Reds, and at just 48-41 overall they’ve lost control over the AL East to the Toronto Blue Jays (51-38).
They’ve also identified a hole in their infield mix, too. Namely, it’s whichever of 3B/2B that Jazz Chisholm isn’t currently manning that day, as injuries and the steep decline of DJ LeMahieu have left them in a pinch at that position.
