Yankees finally moving Jazz Chisholm back to second base

   

Jazz Chisholm is finally shifting back to second base.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Talkin’ Yanks that the All-Star will start at second base Tuesday night against the Mariners, while Oswald Peraza will take over for Chisholm at third base.

That ostensibly leaves veteran DJ LeMahieu on the bench after he had been playing at second.

Chisholm, who was not in the Yankees’ lineup for the Subway Series finale on Sunday due to a sore shoulder, began the season at second base but has played third since returning from an oblique injury last month.
