Here's what the New York Yankees' starting lineup will look like the rest of the way, factoring in Everson Pereira and Oswald Peraza.
The order in the bottom half can be tinkered with, of course. Volpe’s best numbers this season are out of the No. 8 spot by far and since he’s been improving in the second half, there’s an argument to keeping his routine consistent. When Wells is in there, he’d hit higher in the order as well.for much of this season, but it’s hard to see the Yankees moving him down. Even if this team has some of the worst numbers in baseball out of the cleanup spot this season — a disgraceful .215/.296/.
In a sense, Rizzo’s injury makes it easier for the Yankees to give Peraza this opportunity in the infield. That’s been the story since spring training, a logjam of infielders on this roster. With Josh Donaldson also out, the only player that will be losing out on starts in this scenario is Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Kiner-Falefa’s best shot to play is when somebody is getting the night off.
