The Yankees might need a cleanup at the cleanup spot. Austin Wells rough October didnt get any better Tuesday, as he went hitle s again and is now in an 0-for-19 drought in the postseason after against Cleveland. And he has nine strikeouts during that stretch. Now that Anthony Rizzo is healthy-ish and has looked good at the plate in two games back after being sidelined for 16 days with two fractured fingers on his right hand, and another left-handed bat, Jazz Chisholm Jr., added a double, Boone will at least have to think about moving one of them up or the lefty-swinging Wells down in the order. Austin Wells has struggled for the Yankees in the playoffs. Getty Images It was a topic that was broached before Wells latest rough night at the plate. Explore More Im always considering stuff, but I didnt really consider that for today, Boone said of bumping Wells down. I feel like, even as Austin has gone through some struggles offensively, hes still had some really big moments over the last month Kenley Jansen Jersey and some key spots. I still feel like thats in there for him and hopefully he kind of can get hot here too for a few weeks for us, which would be outstanding. That seems le s likely as his slump intensifies. Anthony Rizzo hits an RBI double for the Yankees. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Aaron Boone could consider a Yankees lineup change. JASON SZENES/NEW YORK POST Still, the Yankees had hardly mi sed a beat without almost any production from Wells and the guy in front of him in the order, . Before Tuesday, the third and fourth hitters in the lineup were a combined 4-for-35 with one extra-base hit, eight walks and 14 strikeouts. Follow The Posts coverage of the Yankees in the postseason: Judge obviously wasnt going anywhere, but Boone said he also still had faith in Wells. I think hes for several weeks now not swung it as [well] as he was there for that two-month stretch where, man, he was [great], Boone said of the rookie catcher. But I also dont feel like hes that far off either. Perhaps Rizzos lack of power since his return from a fractured right forearm in early September played a role, but he has hit the ball hard in the ALCS. Austin Wells has been the main backstop for the Yankees this season. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Thats something Wells hasnt done much lately, and the Yankees arent going to be able to smack around the AL Central all the way to a title, so they will almost certainly need more production from someone in the four-hole.
