The Yankees may have their long-term third baseman climbing the farm system

At present, the New York Yankees seem to lack a long-term solution at third base. With Josh Donaldson struggling with a hamstring injury and DJ LeMahieu assuming most of the duties at the hot corner, the team has been trying to fill the position this season.

Oswald Peraza doesn’t appear to be the right fit, as the Yankees have been hesitant to give him playing time since promoting him several weeks ago. Oswaldo Cabrera serves more as a super-utility option than an everyday starter at a single position. The Yankees prefer to use LeMahieu in a versatile role, helping to reduce fatigue in the infield.
