New York Yankees tweak lineup, spotlight Spencer Jones and Ben Rice

Manager Aaron Boone announced a lineup change for the upcoming series against the Chicago White Sox, inserting left‑handed rookie Spencer Jones in the outfield to counter the White Sox's southpaw starter. The move comes as the Yankees approach the trade deadline and cope with Aaron Judge’s injury.

In recent games, rookie Ben Rice contributed key offense, scoring on Jasson Domínguez’s RBI groundout and later hitting a three‑run home run against the Cincinnati Reds. Both players are featured in Boone’s recent roster adjustments as the team seeks to maintain momentum in the season’s second half.
