Overview

• Jazz Chisholm Jr. is slated to play for Double-A Somerset on May 30 in his first game since sustaining a right oblique strain on April 29
• Manager Aaron Boone said Chisholm will man third base during his rehab stint as the Yankees evaluate his defensive fit
• The shift signals that DJ LeMahieu could remain at second base after showing improved exit velocity and a 50% hard-hit rate despite a .206 average
• Chisholm’s activation is expected to displace prospect Jorbit Vivas as Oswald Peraza’s recent play and Pablo Reyes’s versatility bolster the bench
• Before the injury the 27-year-old slashed .181/.304/.410 with seven home runs and 17 RBIs over 30 games, combining power and athleticism
