Overview

• Jazz Chisholm Jr. was removed from Thursday’s lineup due to left groin tightness and is listed as day-to-day.
• Manager Aaron Boone reported that strength tests on Chisholm came back positive and expressed hope he could play Friday’s opener at Fenway Park.
• This latest setback follows Chisholm’s month-long absence in May with an oblique strain and his early exits from two consecutive games with neck and groin issues.
• The Yankees’ lead in the AL East has shrunk to four games over the Toronto Blue Jays as New York navigates a spate of injuries.
• Aaron Judge took a scheduled rest day Thursday, and the ongoing absences of Giancarlo Stanton and Gerrit Cole continue to test the team’s depth.
