Overview

• Jazz Chisholm Jr. will play third base in a Double-A Somerset Patriots rehab game on May 29 as he works back from a right oblique strain.
• Aaron Boone said this week’s stint at third is designed to maintain Chisholm’s versatility before the club decides his permanent role.
• Oswaldo Cabrera’s season-ending ankle fracture has created an opening at third base that Chisholm’s return is poised to fill.
• A full activation of Chisholm at third would allow DJ LeMahieu to stay at second base after his own return from the injured list.
• Once Chisholm rejoins the majors, the Yankees could option top prospect Jorbit Vivas to clear space on the roster.
