The New York Yankees are moving their best defensive second baseman back to second base. Jazz Chisholm Jr., who has started his last 28 games at third base, is going back to second for Tuesday's series opener with the Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is moving to second base and Oswald Peraza is coming in at third, manager Aaron Boone said. DJ LeMahieu will be the odd man out.

Manager Aaron Boone told "Talkin’ Yanks" that Chisholm will return to second base Tuesday night against the Mariners, with Oswald Peraza stepping in at third. It’s a move that reshuffles the Yankees’ infield. That also puts DJ LeMahieu back on the bench, at least for now.
