Yankees bench Jazz Chisholm Jr. in Game 1 after up-and-down season
The Yankees are deciding on their starting lineup for Game 1 of an upcoming series. Manager Aaron Boone must choose between two players for the second base position: Jazz Chisholm Jr., a left-handed batter, or Anthony Volpe, a right-handed batter. The decision depends partly on which pitcher the opposing team starts. Chisholm had an inconsistent season and appears likely to be benched for this game.
