Yankees’ Offense in Need of a Boost: Is surging infield prospect the answer?

The New York Yankees‘ performance against the New York Mets on Wednesday night brought to light their lack of firepower, with a disappointing 1-15 with runners in scoring position.

In the absence of their star slugger Aaron Judge, their offense has notably lacked punch. Oswald Peraza, a rising infield prospect, could just be the much-needed energizer to reignite the Yankees’ offensive production.

But where would Peraza fit in the Yankees’ infield lineup, and how many reps could the Yankees realistically offer him?

The Current Infield Situation and the Case for Oswald Peraza

The Yankees seem to have committed to Anthony Volpe and Gleyber Torres, who, despite being streaky overall, has been one of the more consistent hitters.
