Unfortunately, Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been affected by that. The 28-year-old hasn’t played much lately as a result.</p><p>However, IKF is totally <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-isiah-kiner-falefa-free-agency-everson-pereira-oswald-peraza-20230826-xyur4uc36jajdnoglvzguuaeba-story.html" rel="noopener">understanding of the decision</a> and knows it’s just part of the current situation the Bronx Bombers are in. Via NY Daily News:</p><p>“It’s just part of it,” Kiner-Falefa told the Daily News. “When you’re not winning, you got to give the other guys opportunities, and it just so happens to be me. So it is what it is.”</p><p>Kiner-Falefa finally got on the field Friday night though in a 6-2 win over the Rays. He went 1 for 5 in center field. IKF is having a respectable campaign, slashing .252 with six homers and 35 RBI. He’s proven to be a decent piece for Aaron Boone off the bench. In fact, he’s slashing .282 since mid-May.</p><p>“I want to be in there,” Isiah Kiner-Falefa said. “I want to help the guys out, but at the same time, the organization’s got to do what it’s got to do for the future. I’ve been on the receiving end with Texas. In 2018, I was one of the guys that benefited from it. So it’s all part of it. It’s all good. I definitely want to be in there, though, so it’s definitely tough, but it’s just the reality of where we’re at. So you kind of can’t do anything about it.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-isiah-kiner-falefa-passion-clutch-walk-off-padres" rel="noopener">Kiner-Falefa becomes</a> a free agent this winter and would be a nice addition to virtually every ball club given his ability to play basically any position on the field.

Now, it seems that he is finally getting that chance with the Yankees for the rest of this regular season. He will likely play third base the majority of the time, but could play shortstop and second base on days that Anthony Volpe and Gleyber Torres do not play.</p><p>Pereira will be making his MLB debut and <a href="https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1693996198691258386?s=20" rel="noopener">play left field</a> for the Yankees against the Nationals on Tuesday. Pereira will likely play left field for the most part, but Aaron Boone believes that Pereira <a href="https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1693997218376925405?s=20" rel="noopener">could play</a> all three outfield positions, according to Talkin’ Yanks. The Yankees have struggled at the left field position, so it makes sense for Pereira to slot into that spot.</p><p>The promotions of Peraza and Pereira, along with the promotion of Jasson Dominguez from Double-A to Triple-A, signal a youth movement that will take place with the Yankees over the next year or so. Many believe that catcher Austin Wells will be promoted in the near future as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Peraza’s return should help solidify what has been a shaky infield, as he was the <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2022/yankees/oswald-peraza-672724" rel="noopener">third-ranked prospect</a> in New York’s pipeline in 2022, according to MLB.com.</p><p>Peraza is expected to play at third base with Donaldson out, but could potentially see some time at shortstop as well. Peraza mostly played shortstop in the minors, but his fielding designation with the Yankees will likely depend on where manager Aaron Boone wants to play DJ LeMahieu, who has bounced around the infield as of late.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-oswald-peraza-anthony-volpe-roster" rel="noopener">Donaldson’s offensive struggles</a> have been notable this season, as the 2015 AL MVP is hitting .142 and has struck out 32 times compared to just 15 hits in his 106 at-bats this year. Donaldson has had a difficult time staying healthy since joining the Yankees last season, missing almost two months with a hamstring strain early on this season.</p><p>Starting shortstop Anthony Volpe has seen his fair share of struggles at the dish as well, recording a lowly .283 OBP in his rookie campaign for the Yankees. The Yankees <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-brian-cashman-pours-cold-water-potential-anthony-volpe-oswald-peraza-swap" rel="noopener">have remained committed</a> to Volpe, however, which left Peraza as the odd man out.</p><p>Yankees general manager Brian Cashman <a href="https://twitter.com/BryanHoch/status/1671275096651051009" rel="noopener">had previously been hesitant</a> to call up Peraza, allowing him to “finish off his development” in the minors, according to Bryan Hoch. Donaldson’s injury finally opened the door for Peraza’s return, as the highly regarded prospect has played in only 30 games over the last two seasons in the big leagues, hitting .259 with four stolen bases.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Some of those issues might not be quick fixes, though. The organization is affording one particular area of concern <a href="https://twitter.com/eboland11/status/1671274860453019650" rel="noopener">considerable leeway</a>.</p><p>“Cashman said there have been no discussions about bringing up {Oswald} Peraza for {Anthony} Volpe: “We’re not shying away from Anthony Volpe. We believe in him, we’re invested in him and we know there’s a payoff there for us as long as we walk that tightrope with him,” Erik Boland of Newsday Sports reported Tuesday.<br></p><p>The highly touted shortstop Anthony Volpe has faced immense pressure since being uniquely fast-tracked to the MLB following an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-new-york-fans-will-be-fired-up-with-anthony-volpe-viral-performance-in-spring-training" rel="noopener">impressive Spring Training</a>. His position and status as a former first-round pick naturally and unfairly drew Derek Jeter comparisons. The fact that he is a native New Yorker did not help matters, either. The hoopla has faded over the course of a tough couple months, and a championship-starved fan base is running out of patience.</p><p>Volpe finds himself below the Mendoza Line with a .189 batting average that is exacerbated by a less-than-stellar showing in the field. Fellow top prospect Oswald Peraza is the only feasible replacement option and would satisfy fans’ desire to build for the future while also hopefully staying competitive in the present. Brian Cashman is not entertaining such a switch now, though, being steadfast in his belief that the Venezuelan native needs a <a href="https://twitter.com/BryanHoch/status/1671275096651051009" rel="noopener">bit more polishing</a>.</p><p>“Peraza will continue playing 2B/3B/SS at Triple-A to ‘”finish off his development,”‘ Cashman told MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch. Peraza struggled in his 12 games with the Yankees this year,- batting a meager .188- but has found success with Scranton/Wilkes Barre. If he continues to produce, management will have little choice but to give the 23-year-old <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-oswald-peraza-anthony-volpe-roster" rel="noopener">a larger sample size</a> in the big leagues.<br></p><p>It will remain business as usual for now, though. The Yankees (39-33) hope to end this recent slide and get back on track against the Seattle Mariners (35-35) Tuesday. A big night for Volpe would be a big bonus for a front office that probably doesn’t want to be flooded with any more questions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Yankees third basemen have produced -0.7 Wins Above Average, the fifth-worst mark in the majors.</p><p>That’s not good enough for a team with <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/are-the-yankees-ready-to-contend-for-a-world-series-a-rod-weighs-in/ar-AA1c3agE">World Series aspirations</a>.</p><p>But where do Peraza and Volpe factor into all this?</p><p>The position clearly needs a spark- and Peraza, who has already started a game at third when Donaldson was injured, can provide it.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-oswald-peraza-opening-day-shortstop-new-york">Peraza, who was once</a> thought of as the big-league starter at short, deserves a promotion to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-new-york-verge-losing-former-gold-glove-winner">Yankees’ roster</a>.</p><p>However, it shouldn’t come at the expense of Volpe, whose minor league track record suggest that he will start picking things up at the plate sooner rather than later.</p><p>Peraza should replace Donaldson, who simply hasn’t been good enough as a Yankee.</p><p>It seems like only a matter of time until the Yankees see this as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
