New York Yankees standout Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been sidelined since late April due to an oblique strain. Now, after a stint on the injured list, manager Aaron Boone says Chisholm is nearing a return.
According to Gary Phillips of NYDN Sports, Boone shared that the 27-year-old is scheduled to play one final rehab game on Saturday. If all goes well, he’s expected to rejoin the Yankees’ lineup on Sunday as the designated hitter in their matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. While Chisholm will DH initially, the team plans to have him take over at third base moving forward.
“Aaron Boone said Jazz Chisholm Jr. will play in another rehab game tomorrow before possibly DHing Sunday. The indication is Chisholm will play 3B when he returns; he said he expects to,” Phillips reported.
