Jazz Chisholm returns as Yankees shake up lineup for Game 2 vs. Red Sox
Key Points:
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. returned to the Yankees' lineup for Game 2 of the AL wild-card series against the Red Sox, after sitting out Game 1 in favor of Anthony Volpe against left-hander Payton Tolle.
- The Yankees fielded a left-handed heavy lineup against right-hander Sonny Gray, with only rookie George Lombard Jr. batting right-handed, while also starting Trent Grisham in center field and Ryan McMahon at third base.
- Manager Aaron Boone emphasized Chisholm's potential importance to the team despite not playing in Game 1, where the Yankees won 9-0 without his contribution.
- Chisholm will have the opportunity in Game 2 to help the Yankees secure a sweep and advance to the ALDS with an extra day of rest.
