Story summary

Jazz Chisholm Jr., the Yankees' second baseman, was absent from Wednesday’s starting lineup due to poor performance this season, highlighting the team's need for another option at second base for 2027. This absence also draws attention to Luis García Jr.'s uncertain future position. In his first six seasons with the Nationals, García played in 508 games at second base and performed well according to advanced metrics in 2024. However, his effectiveness decreased significantly in 2025, leading Washington to convert him into a full-time first baseman for the current season, where he has been merely playable but not excellent.
