Overview
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. suffered a high-grade right oblique strain during Tuesday’s game in Baltimore and was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Wednesday.
- Manager Aaron Boone confirmed a recovery timeline of four to six weeks, though Chisholm, known for quick recoveries, remains optimistic about a faster return.
- The Yankees recalled infielder Jorbit Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he has been excelling offensively, to fill Chisholm's roster spot.
- Vivas made his MLB debut Friday, starting at second base in the Yankees' win against Tampa Bay, and is expected to see regular playing time during Chisholm’s absence.
- Chisholm’s injury adds to the Yankees’ ongoing injury challenges, including Giancarlo Stanton’s extended absence, as they maintain their lead in the AL East.
