The New York Yankees have made some minor lineup changes ahead of Tuesday night’s World Series Game 4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, bringing in Jazz Chisholm Jr. enters the mop-up spot while Giancarlo Stanton is in fifth place.

However, the struggling Aaron Judge remains in the three hole.

Boone told reporters prior to the first pitch that he was considering moving Judge in an attempt to wake up his bat. While many would assume this would mean Judge would be pushed back to the fourth spot, Boone told reporters he was actually indicating he was considering using the 6-foot-4 slugger as the Yankees’ leadoff hitter — where Judge had only hit 36 ​​times. his career.

Boone ultimately opted to keep Judge at No. 3 to leave Gleyber Torres at the top of the order, with the second baseman being one of New York’s most consistent hitters during the postseason.

This postseason, Judge played in twelve games and collected six hits, including two homeruns, with another twenty strikeouts and eight walks. He has a measly .140 batting average while continuing to struggle with breaking pitches.

Judge had just one hit in 12 at-bats and struck out seven in the first three games of the 2024 World Series.
