Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm backs up Red Sox DH Rafael Devers, who refused to play the infield when asked this season.

As the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox gear up for their first 2025 showdown, Jazz Chisholm Jr. shared a candid perspective on Rafael Devers' infield refusal—adding fresh insight to a controversy making waves across the league.

Chisholm’s own approach to position flexibility stands in sharp contrast. He admitted that he thought he was done with the third base experiment last season after the Yankees let Gleyber Torres walk as a free agent. Second base is clearly a spot he feels comfortable in, but the Yankees want to keep veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu there now.
