The New York Yankees are preparing Oswald Peraza for the unlikely event of him playing in the outfield, as confirmed by manager Aaron Boone. While Peraza has primarily been an infielder, the team recognizes the necessity of versatility, especially as Giancarlo Stanton is set to return from injury. As a result, utilityman Pablo Reyes may be designated for assignment, given his limited playtime this season.

Boone emphasized the rarity of Peraza's outfield play, yet acknowledged it as a 'legit possibility', indicating the team's depth in the outfield could be tested in the long season ahead. Peraza's adaptation could be crucial for the Yankees as they navigate roster adjustments and injuries.
