Overview

  • Chisholm returned to the lineup on June 3 after a 28-game absence with a strained oblique and adopted a controlled 70% playing strategy to curb overswinging.
  • He has hit .500 (8 for 16) with two home runs, six RBIs and three stolen bases in four games since his return.
  • Assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler recommended the 70% approach to help Chisholm conserve energy and minimize swing-and-miss issues.
  • Both manager Aaron Boone and captain Aaron Judge have lauded the tempered effort for enabling Chisholm to unleash his power more efficiently.
  • Chisholm’s positional versatility has become vital as the Yankees contend with sidelined stars including Giancarlo Stanton, Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman.
