Isiah Kiner-Falefa has taken a step back from the Yankees’ shortstop competition — actually, a few dozen steps back.
LAKELAND, Fla. — The Yankees tinkered with their shortstop competition Friday, placing Anthony Volpe at the position and using Oswald Peraza at second base, a flip-flop from previous games, when the two top prospects played together.The Yankees’ 2022 starting shortstopFriday, when he grabbed a recently acquired outfield glove that still is not fully broken in and played center field for six mostly promising innings.
Three batters later, when Andre Lipcius singled to right-center with runners on first and second, Kiner-Falefa charged in and to his left, corralled the ball and heaved a strong throw home. The box score does not show an error, and Kiner-Falefa thinks more time in center can eliminate the mental miscues.
Manager Aaron Boone praised Kiner-Falefa’s athleticism and footwork and called Friday a “good start.” But Kiner-Falefa appears to be their third shortstop option right now, with Peraza and Volpe vying for the Opening Day job.
