The Yankees are likely to place on the 10-day injured list with an injury to the UCL in his left elbow, manager Aaron Boone told the New York beat (relayed by Chris Kirschner of the Athletic). The organization is unsure whether Chisholm will need to undergo surgery. If theres a silver lining, its that the injury is to Chisholms non-throwing arm. Its neverthele s a tough blow thatll subtract the Yankees key deadline acquisition from the lineup. Chisholm has gotten out to an excellent start to his time in the Bronx. He already has seven homers in 14 games. Hes hitting .316/.361/.702 acro s 61 trips to Gary Trent Jr. Jersey the plate since the trade. Chisholm had connected on 13 longballs with Miami. This is his first major league campaign reaching the 20-homer mark. He has also swiped 27 bases (including a perfect 5-5 showing with the Yankees) and now carries an above-average .257/.328/.445 slash line on the year. The Yankees have won nine of 14 games since Chisholm joined the team. They enter play tonight half a game behind the Orioles for the top spot in the AL East. Baltimore is tied with the Guardians for the #1 seed in the American League, so thats very much in play for New York as well. While Chisholm had spent his entire Marlins career in the middle of the diamond (primarily at second base or in center field), he has moved to the hot corner in the Bronx. Chisholm has been in the starting lineup for all 14 games since the Yankees acquired him. Thirteen of those have come at third base, while he has made one start in center field. The hot corner has been a problem for New York all season. Yankee third basemen aside from Chisholm have hit .231/.292/.320 through 419 trips to the plate. and have gotten the bulk of that work and neither has hit at a league average level. The Yankees have deployed LeMahieu as the right-handed half of a first base platoon with lefty-swinging lately. That could point to Cabrera, who gets the nod there tonight against White Sox righty , as the primary option if Chisholm goes on the shelf. , who is hitting .244/.352/.384 in a fairly pedestrian Triple-A campaign, is on the 40-man roster. So is , whom the Yankees acquired in an offseason trade with the Dodgers. The Yankees briefly called Vivas up around the All-Star Break but didnt get him into a game. Hes hitting .242/.379/.374 over 58 Triple-A contests. The Yankees can no longer turn to the trade market for anything more than a minor league depth pickup. is headed to the waiver wire after being by the Dodgers last night. If Chisholm is out for an extended stretch, the Yankees could look to put in a claim for the righty-hitting infielder. New York is behind everyone other than the Phillies, Guardians and Orioles in the waiver priority, though. Theres a good chance that another team claims Rosario before the Yankees get an opportunity.
