Overview
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. entered Monday hitting roughly .216 with about a .690 OPS through 109 games and has not produced the multi-week hot streak the Yankees expected.
- Manager Aaron Boone said Chisholm has been "struggling to really get dialed in" all season and has not delivered the sustained impact the club needs.
- Chisholm described the year as "super frustrating," saying he has been working in the cage but the results are "just not coming together in the game."
- New York is managing multiple rehabs — Carlos Rodón threw 48 pitches over 2 2/3 innings in a Triple‑A outing and likely needs one more rehab start, while Cody Bellinger is running and hitting but remains outside the original four‑to‑six week window — and the club has given Anthony Volpe looks at second base in Triple‑A as an internal contingency.
- With about 44 regular‑season games remaining, Chisholm’s late surge would help the Yankees’ postseason push and restore his contract value, while continued struggles would push the team toward internal lineup changes and alter offseason decisions.
