Chisholm Targets Return Before Season Ends | New York Yankees News

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is sidelined with a sprained thumb after a brutal slide into second base, but he’s already targeting a return before the season ends — possibly as early as September 19th — to help the Yankees’ playoff push. The injury, which occurred while he tried to stretch a single into a double, initially called for a week-to-ten-day recovery, but Chisholm’s optimism and the team’s schedule could see him back in time for their final road game against Tampa Bay. With 19 homers and 40 steals this season, his bat is sorely missed, especially as the Yankees battle for the AL East title. In the meantime, Anthony Volpe has been called up to fill the void at second base. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
