ST. PETERSBURGH, Fla. -- Isiah Kiner-Falefa has not lost his job as the New York Yankees starting shortstop.
At least for now.
The Yankees called up one of their most prized prospects, 22-year-old Venezuelan infielder Oswald Peraza, ahead of a crucial three-game series against their AL East rival Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, as major league rosters expanded to 28 players at the start of September.
But Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that Kiner-Falefa would still be the starter at short.
"It'll be fluid," Boone said of the plan to utilize Peraza.
