MILWAUKEE — When the Yankees called up highly regarded shortstop prospect Oswald Peraza on Sept. 1 after rosters expanded, Aaron Boone was asked what role the 22-year-old shortstop would have.
“We’ll see,’’ Boone responded. “He’ll get some opportunities.”
At the time, it seemed unlikely the Yankees would bring up the No. 3 prospect in their farm system just to keep him on the bench, but the very first day, Peraza wasn’t in the lineup.
Boone made it clear Isiah Kiner-Falefa would remain the starter at short.
