Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Placed on 10-Day IL Due to Oblique Strain

The New York Yankees have placed second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 30, after he sustained a right oblique strain during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Chisholm, who has been a strong defender at second base this season, is batting .181 with seven home runs, 17 RBIs, and a .714 OPS over 30 games. He left last Tuesday’s game after feeling discomfort during a first-inning at-bat and is expected to undergo an MRI. Infielder Jorbit Vivas was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Chisholm on the active roster; Vivas is batting .319 with two home runs and an .862 OPS in the minors this season. The Yankees acquired Vivas from the Dodgers in December 2023, and he has yet to make his major league debut. In Chisholm’s absence, other infielders like Pablo Reyes and Oswald Peraza may see increased playing time at second base.
