Chisholm Out With Thumb Injury | New York Yankees News

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is sidelined for today’s game after a brutal thumb jam from a head-first slide, forcing Jose Caballero into the lineup at second and batting ninth. Despite missing his 50-50 hit goal, Chisholm’s been elite this season with 19 homers, 40 steals, and a 1.5 bWAR — vital stats for a Yankees lineup heading into the playoffs. At 28, his performance will heavily influence his free agency next offseason, making this injury not just a roster shakeup but a contract-defining moment. The team now waits to see how long he’ll be out — and whether his impact can be replaced in time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
