Chisholm Out, Judge Back as Yankees Navigate Injury | New York Yankees News

Yankees’ outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is sidelined with a sprained thumb, ruling him out for at least seven to ten days as playoffs loom — a major blow to an already strained lineup. Though his 2024 stats (232 AVG, 19 HR, 40 SB) haven’t matched expectations, his offensive spark is sorely missed now. The injury worsened during a Rockies game, raising fears he could miss key playoff matchups. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge’s return — even without a hit — brings much-needed leadership and energy as the team braces for postseason pressure. With Chisholm’s health top priority and his impending free agency looming, the Yankees are taking no chances, hoping he’ll be fully healed and ready to go when it matters most.
