Why wasn't Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the starting lineup for the Yankees? During the first game of the postseason between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, there was a curious decision made in the starting lineup. Despite a strong campaign during his first full season in New York, the Yankees chose not to start Jazz Chisholm Jr. against the Red Sox. Yankees manager instead opted with Amed Rosario, who has enjoyed tremendous success against Boston left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet on Tuesday. That person said that Boone had communicated effectively, and that Chisholm had taken it well and was in a good place.
