Jazz Chisholm Jr. Excels in Rehab Debut as Yankees Eye Third Base Return

His hot-corner debut could secure his place at third base, preserving DJ LeMahieu’s spot at second.

Overview

  • Chisholm began his rehab assignment on May 29 with Double-A Somerset, playing third base and going 2-for-3 with a double and a walk.
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he will assess Chisholm’s work at third this week to determine his role upon activation.
  • A return at third base would allow DJ LeMahieu to remain at second, maintaining infield continuity.
  • Oswaldo Cabrera’s season-ending ankle fracture has left a void at the hot corner that Chisholm is poised to fill.
  • Chisholm could be activated from the injured list as soon as the first week of June, adding depth to a lineup reshaped by multiple infield injuries.
