Jazz Chisholm Jr. Likely Headed To Injured List
4 months agoNew York Yankees infielder/outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (elbow) is expected to be placed on the injured list, according to manager Aaron Boone. This is not the news fantasy managers wanted to hear right now. Chisholm was off to an excellent start with the Bronx Bombers. He was hitting over .300 with seven home runs and five steals in 14 games. The 26-year-old suffered a left UCL injury while sliding into home plate during Monday's loss. It sounds like the team still plans to do additional testing to determine the severity of the injury. The absence of Chisholm should mean more playing time for DJ LeMahieu and Oswaldo Cabrera at the hot corner. Neither player is going to be as reliable of a fantasy contributor. Cabrera is the better option between the two, as he's hitting .245 with eight home runs and 34 RBI in 86 games this season. Cabrera will bat eighth and play third base versus right-hander Jonathan Cannon on Tuesday.
