The New York Yankees are making changes to their catching lineup due to poor offensive performance, as Austin Wells struggles with a 1-for-18 slump. J.C. Escarra has been optioned to Triple-A, while Ali Sánchez is being called up from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as a temporary solution. General manager Brian Cashman mentioned potential future roles for Ben Rice, though he’s currently focused on keeping Rice at first base and DH. Cashman remains open to adjustments but believes in the current roster’s capabilities.
