New York Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. likely headed to IL with left UCL injury
The New York Yankees may be facing a major setback as versatile star Jazz Chisholm Jr. is likely headed to the injured list with a left UCL injury, according to manager Aaron Boone.
Chisholm, who was acquired by the Yankees at the MLB trade deadline, has been a key player in the lineup, providing a much-needed boost from the left side of the plate. However, his injury could potentially keep him out for the rest of the season.
The injury occurred during Monday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox when Chisholm scored on an infield hit by Anthony Volpe. A close play at the plate resulted in Chisholm’s left arm getting caught up in the catcher’s cleat, leading to the injury.
While Chisholm initially downplayed the severity of the injury, further testing revealed ligament damage that could sideline him for an extended period. The Yankees will now have to find a way to replace Chisholm in the lineup and at third base, where he had been excelling defensively.
As the team prepares for the remainder of the season, fans and players alike are hopeful for Chisholm’s speedy recovery and return to the field. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
