New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Monday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox due to a left elbow injury and is set to undergo imaging on Tuesday. Chisholm Jr., who has been impressive since his recent trade from the Miami Marlins, is batting .296 over 14 games with only one error at third base. Yankees fans are anxiously awaiting the results, hoping the injury isn’t serious.
Chisholm Jr. had spent his entire MLB career with the Marlins before joining the Yankees, debuting in 2020. Though he had a challenging rookie season, he made significant improvements in 2021 and has continued to excel since then.
The Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm Jr. in exchange for three prospects, and now the third baseman is in New York, aiming to help his new team secure a playoff spot. The Yankees are in a strong position, tied for first place in the AL East with a 70-49 record. They’re in a close race with the Baltimore Orioles for the division title, with the runner-up likely securing a wildcard spot unless there’s a major downturn.
Though Chisholm Jr. hasn’t been with the Yankees long, he’s quickly become an important part of the team. Fans are hoping his elbow injury isn’t serious.
