Story summary

On Wednesday during Game 2 of the AL wild-card series, Jazz Chisholm Jr. returned to the Yankees' lineup after sitting out in Tuesday's win against the Boston Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle. The Yankees made multiple lineup changes, with Trent Grisham entering as a starter in center field and Spencer Jones moving to right field. Additionally, Ryan McMahon started at third base instead of Amed Rosario, who was replaced defensively earlier in the series. This shift included placing George Lombard Jr., the only right-handed hitter, on the bench while the Yankees stacked their lineup with left-handed hitters against Red Sox pitcher Sonny Gray. The Yankees aimed to capitalize on these adjustments by potentially sweeping the series that day.
