The Yankees are more likely to place Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the 10-day injured checklist with an damage to the UCL in his left elbow, supervisor Aaron Boone instructed the New York beat (relayed on X by Chris Kirschner of the Athletic). The group is not sure whether or not Chisholm might want to bear surgical procedure.
If there’s a silver lining, it’s that the damage is to Chisholm’s non-throwing arm. It’s however a troublesome blow that’ll subtract the Yankees’ key deadline acquisition from the lineup. Chisholm has gotten out to a superb begin to his time within the Bronx. He already has seven homers in 14 video games. He’s hitting .316/.361/.702 throughout 61 journeys to the plate because the commerce.
Chisholm had linked on 13 longballs with Miami. That is his first main league marketing campaign reaching the 20-homer mark. He has additionally swiped 27 bases (together with an ideal 5-5 displaying with the Yankees) and now carries an above-average .257/.328/.445 slash line on the 12 months. The Yankees have gained 9 of 14 video games since Chisholm joined the crew. They enter play tonight half a recreation behind the Orioles for the highest spot within the AL East. Baltimore is tied with the Guardians for the #1 seed within the American League, in order that’s very a lot in play for New York as nicely.
Whereas Chisholm had spent his total Marlins profession in the midst of the diamond (primarily at second base or in middle subject), he has moved to the recent nook within the Bronx. Chisholm has been within the beginning lineup for all 14 video games because the Yankees acquired him. 13 of these have come at third base, whereas he has made one begin in middle subject. The recent nook has been an issue for New York all season. Yankee third basemen other than Chisholm have hit .231/.292/.320 by means of 419 journeys to the plate.
Oswaldo Cabrera and DJ LeMahieu have gotten the majority of that work and neither has hit at a league common degree. The Yankees have deployed LeMahieu because the right-handed half of a primary base platoon with lefty-swinging Ben Rice currently. That would level to Cabrera, who will get the nod there tonight towards White Sox righty Jonathan Cannon, as the first possibility if Chisholm goes on the shelf. Oswald Peraza, who’s hitting .244/.352/.384 in a reasonably pedestrian Triple-A marketing campaign, is on the 40-man roster. So is Jorbit Vivas, whom the Yankees acquired in an offseason commerce with the Dodgers. The Yankees briefly known as Vivas up across the All-Star Break however didn’t get him right into a recreation. He’s hitting .242/.379/.374 over 58 Triple-A contests.
The Yankees can now not flip to the commerce marketplace for something greater than a minor league depth pickup. Amed Rosario is headed to the waiver wire after being designated for project by the Dodgers final night time. If Chisholm is out for an prolonged stretch, the Yankees might look to place in a declare for the righty-hitting infielder. New York is behind everybody aside from the Phillies, Guardians and Orioles within the waiver precedence, although. There’s a very good probability that one other crew claims Rosario earlier than the Yankees get a chance.
