The New York Yankees' skid continues, and pressure is starting to mount on manager Aaron Boone. One insider believes the situation is worth monitoring.

Manning third base is a "challenge" for LeMahieu physically at this stage in his career, Boone said (h/t Chris Kirschner of The Athletic). Consequently, the Yankees have "no plans" of trotting the three-time All-Star, viewing him as merely a "bench bat." It's a steep fall from grace for someone instrumental to the team's success not long ago.

Moving Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base doesn’t just disrupt DJ LeMahieu’s playing time routine. It effectively makes him a bench bat and nothing more moving forward for the Yankees. Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed on Tuesday afternoon that there are no plans for LeMahieu to play third base.
