Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers caught some wild strays from MLB fans online after New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. made a huge decision. The Yankees star agreed to move to the third base position as he tries to get ready for a return to major league action.

The 27-year-old had been out of action for a while due to an injury. Prior to this setback, he was playing at the second base position.

On Thursday, the former Miami Marlins star claimed that he was given the choice to play at 2B or 3B. However, he chose to play as the third baseman as his manager, Aaron Boone indicated that.

(Boone) told me that he wanted me at third base. He really wanted me at third base. I’m a team guy, I’m here to win a ring, I’m not here to fight over positions.

Chisholm Jr. has played in the second base, shortstop, and outfield positions with the Marlins. He has over 196 career games of experience as a 2B, 192 games as a center fielder, 46 as a shortstop, and 45 as a 3B.

The Yankees star further added that he will need a few rehab games before re-joining his teammates. After starting the season strong with the usage of the torpedo bats, his form has declined a bit. Before his injury, he had a slash line of 181/.304/.410 with 7 home runs and 17 RBI through 30 games.

Devers came under heavy backlash from the fans earlier this season after he refused to give up his 3B position to Alex Bregman. Chisholm Jr. agreeing to play in that same position thus ignited some wild reactions from fans. One user wrote, “Someone might want to show that video to Rafael Devers” while comparing the two players.

Following a slow start to the season, Devers has found his form again. The 3-time MLB All-Star has 12 home runs and 50 RBI while batting with a .287 average through 58 games this season.

While playing for the Yankees’ Double-A Somerset, the 2022 MLB All-Star went 2-for-3 in the game with a single, double, walk and 2 runs. In the 12-0 win of the team, he played the game as the third baseman.

Speaking of his team, the Yankees are getting ready to take part in the 2024 World Series matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The two sides will face off in a 3-game series at the Dodger Stadium this weekend.
