Jazz Chisholm Jr. Could be MLB-Ready Next Week
Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) could play in minor-league rehab games by the end of the week. Manager Aaron Boone said it's possible that Chisholm will be major-league-ready at some point next week. The 27-year-old left-handed hitter took hacks at Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. He's almost four weeks removed from a strained right oblique and is ahead of scheduled after an initial timeline of four to six weeks. Depending on how Chisholm looks in the minors, he might only need a few games before the Yankees are comfortable activating him from the 10-day injured list next week. When he returns, he should man second base regularly, which will likely push DJ LeMahieu to third base. Chisholm was hitting just .181 (19-for-105) at the time of his injury with seven homers and six steals, but his power/speed combination gives him plenty of fantasy upside in the Bronx.
