Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. struggles, faces lineup changes ahead
Summary

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is at risk of losing his starting role with the New York Yankees amid a disappointing season. The 28-year-old infielder has posted a.216 batting average, struggling particularly against left-handed pitching. With Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger expected to return soon, questions arise about Chisholm's place in the lineup. George Lombard Jr. has emerged as a strong contender at shortstop, potentially allowing for a more defensive alignment within the team. With Chisholm set to enter unrestricted free agency after this season, his performance is under increased scrutiny.
