Overview
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Chisholm is expected to be activated between games of Tuesday’s doubleheader and that the infielder is slated to play in Game 2.
- Anthony Volpe has started nine of 10 games at second base since his recall and has hit .286 with a .753 OPS and four steals, creating a playing-time decision for the club.
- Boone emphasized the team will first get Chisholm back and then decide how to use him, signaling that regular-season reps this week will inform postseason roster choices.
- The bullpen picture remains unsettled as Clarke Schmidt experienced biceps cramping while warming up and lefty Ryan Weathers must face hitters this week as he works back from a forearm strain.
- Chisholm enters free agency after a season marked by below‑expected overall numbers but a recent 15‑game hot stretch, meaning his short-term performance could affect both lineup plans and his market value.
