Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. put on injured list because of strained right oblique
Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been placed on the 15-day injured list following a strained right oblique sustained during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. During his at-bat, Chisholm showed signs of discomfort after fouling off a pitch, prompting intervention from the team manager and trainer, though he initially continued to play. Despite his injury, Chisholm managed to hit a double but was visibly in pain and subsequently replaced by a pinch runner. Chisholm, who has prior experience with oblique injuries, expressed minimal concern over the current strain but was scheduled for further tests upon the team's return to New York. The Yankees made a roster adjustment by recalling infielder Jorbit Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Chisholm's spot temporarily.
Jazz Chisholm Jr., playing for the Yankees, suffered a right oblique strain during a game against the Baltimore Orioles, resulting in his placement on the 15-day injured list. The injury occurred after he fouled off a pitch, causing him to momentarily step out of the batter's box in discomfort.
Despite the injury, Chisholm continued his at-bat and managed to hit a double into the right-field corner. However, his discomfort was apparent, leading to his replacement by a pinch runner shortly thereafter.
Chisholm has previously dealt with an oblique injury, reducing his concern about the severity of the current strain. He is confident that the injury is not as serious as it might appear.
Following the injury, Chisholm was scheduled for tests after the team's return to New York to assess the extent of the damage. The roster move placing him on the injured list was made retroactive to the day after the injury.
In response to Chisholm's absence, the Yankees recalled infielder Jorbit Vivas from Triple-A to temporarily fill the gap in the roster. Chisholm's current season performance includes a batting average of .181 with seven home runs and 17 RBIs over 30 games.
Chisholm had previously been sidelined last year due to a separate injury—a sprained left elbow from a headfirst slide—highlighting his recent history with injuries.
