Chisholm, 27, may not be playing where he wants defensively, but he hasn't let it impact his performance at the plate. He enters Wednesday hitting .240/.338/.495 (131 OPS+) with 14 home runs and 10 stolen bases. His contributions have been worth an estimated 2.2 Wins Above Replacement, according to Baseball Reference's calculations.

Chisholm's OPS of .820 is the second-best on the Yankees, while his 2.1 WAR ranks third. He is hitting .240 with 14 home runs and 36 RBIs in 56 games. Adding another bat at third, while replacing LeMahieu's .664 OPS at second with Chisholm, should boost the lineup.

The New York Yankees started the year with Jazz Chisholm Jr. playing second base. However, he has played in the hot corner since DJ LeMahieu's return.
