The Yankees are likely to place Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the 10-day injured list with an injury to the UCL in his left elbow, manager Aaron Boone told the New York beat (relayed on X by Chris Kirschner of the Athletic). The organization is unsure whether Chisholm will need to undergo surgery.
If there’s a silver lining, it’s that the injury is to Chisholm’s non-throwing arm. It’s nevertheless a tough blow that’ll subtract the Yankees’ key deadline acquisition from the lineup. Chisholm has gotten out to an excellent start to his time in the Bronx. He already has seven homers in 14 games. He’s hitting .316/.361/.702 across 61 trips to the plate since the trade.
Chisholm had connected on 13 longballs with Miami. This is his first major league campaign reaching the 20-homer mark. He has also swiped 27 bases (including a perfect 5-5 showing with the Yankees) and now carries an above-average .257/.328/.445 slash line on the year. The Yankees have won nine of 14 games since Chisholm joined the team. They enter play tonight half a game behind the Orioles for the top spot in the AL East. Baltimore is tied with the Guardians for the #1 seed in the American League, so that’s very much in play for New York as well.
While Chisholm had spent his entire Marlins career in the middle of the diamond (primarily at second base or in center field), he has moved to the hot corner in the Bronx. Chisholm has been in the starting lineup for all 14 games since the Yankees acquired him. Thirteen of those have come at third base, while he has made one start in center field. The hot corner has been a problem for New York all season. Yankee third basemen aside from Chisholm have hit .231/.292/.320 through 419 trips to the plate.
Oswaldo Cabrera and DJ LeMahieu have gotten the bulk of that work and neither has hit at a league average level. The Yankees have deployed LeMahieu as the right-handed half of a first base platoon with lefty-swinging Ben Rice lately. That could point to Cabrera, who gets the nod there tonight against White Sox righty Jonathan Cannon, as the primary option if Chisholm goes on the shelf. Oswald Peraza, who is hitting .244/.352/.384 in a fairly pedestrian Triple-A campaign, is on the 40-man roster. So is Jorbit Vivas, whom the Yankees acquired in an offseason trade with the Dodgers. The Yankees briefly called Vivas up around the All-Star Break but didn’t get him into a game. He’s hitting .242/.379/.374 over 58 Triple-A contests.
The Yankees can no longer turn to the trade market for anything more than a minor league depth pickup. Amed Rosario is headed to the waiver wire after being designated for assignment by the Dodgers last night. If Chisholm is out for an extended stretch, the Yankees could look to put in a claim for the righty-hitting infielder. New York is behind everyone other than the Phillies, Guardians and Orioles in the waiver priority, though. There’s a good chance that another team claims Rosario before the Yankees get an opportunity.
WTF
He’s missed more time in his career than Stanton has, are you surprised?
Welcome to Jazz World – super talented and super frustrating, all in one annoying package
You upset the good ol Yanks can’t go out and buy a replacement like they usually do?
Sorry
They haven’t done this in years. Have you been under a rock for the last decade?
The Yankees sign big name free agents every single season, hence their 300 plus million dollar payroll. Apparently you’re the one that has been “under a rock” or maybe you haven’t noticed because the Yankees can no longer buy a World Series.
true… since the Subway Series in 2000 the Mets (minus the Bernie Madoff years), the Dodgers (minus the Frank McCourt divorce years) & the Yankees have been trying to buy a World Series for the past 23+ years and only have two (2009 Yankees, 2020 Dodgers in front of cardboard fans) to show for it…. the way to win consistently is to tank (& cheat) like the Astros and Braves did
You have to have the perfect balance of tanking/cheating and the ability to spend some money with a smart front office. Look at the White Sox, they tanked for years with nothing to show for it except two short playoff series.
Frankly, I think the Yankees need to can Cashman and should have a long time ago. His success came under the boss who was willing to spend freely both on free agents and on amateur talent. Cashman cannot seem to figure out the newest form of baseball, still stuck in the steroid era of doing things. Cashman got taken to school by Preller and I’m no where near an AJ fan.
Gotta love the Yankee fans who will remind us of all their championships and then cry when any other team wins that they tanked or cheated. Scratch.
More criminals and cheaters have worn the Yankees uniform and been paid MILLIONS than any other team, and it’s not even close.
But yeah, they’re great. Scratch some more.
Life’s an itch.
AJ Preller fleeced himself – he traded away CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, James Wood, Robert Hassell, Jarlin Susana, Justin Lange, Jairo Iriarte, Samuel Zavala and Steven Wilson for Randy Vásquez, Jhony Brito, Kyle Higashioka, 2 years of Dylan Cease, 2 years of Michael King, a year and a half of Juan Soto, and a half year of Josh Bell LOL
Cashman isn’t gonna get fired – Hal doesn’t have the stones to do so… also Yankees success was ALL due to Gabe Paul, Harding Peterson, Gene Michael, Bob Watson & Brian Cashman – the Yankees won IN SPITE of the Boss, not because of him.
Astros… Mike Scott & Joe Niekro (scuffing balls), Ken Caminiti (the guy who used so many steroids he died from them), trashcans, sticky stuff, chest buzzers… they’ve been cheating their entire existence LOL
Hilarious mentality that the Yankees won in spite of George Steinbrenner.
Almost as equally funny as you LOLing that the Padres shedded 36.5 million owed to Soto and Grissom and got better.
The Yankees also what? Like 60 million in tax penalties. Yeah jokes on AJ Preller
Going back to 2016, name three.
It’s time to dump verdugo and bring up the Martian
They need his energy
They didn’t want to bring up Dominguez unless they absolutely had to and could get him everyday ABs. I think that they found their chance…
Dominguez is hitting .253/.303/.386 in AAA. Not sure he’d be much help.
You dont know much about baseball do you ?
How many games have you seen him in since he came back ?
Since he came back in late July: .157/.232/.196
I am sorry you don’t see what I was saying
Jazz was providing energy to the team and now he’s gone, verdugo is a waste
They need the energy the Martian can provide
It’s time to bring up OSWALD PERAZA
They should have done this instead of trading for Chisholm Catcher has always been a need for new york and a position they shouldn’t be trading from
They should have traded Jasson Dominguez
They’ve been trying to trade Dominguez for at least 2 years. Makes you wonder why.
Where did you hear they’ve been trying to trade Dominguez? It’s been widely known he’s the most untouchable prospect in the system.
Only every frigging trade rumor for a decent player, that’s all.
I read pretty regularly, and I have never read that. I wonder if “Reds” would care to back that up with a citation?
Same. Even reading all thosehypothetical Tarik Skubal trade articles, the trade was centered on Spencer Jones, not Jasson.
Yankee fans always expect slightly above average players to magically turn into superstars as soon as they put on pinstripes. While their own prospects are always overhyped by an over saturated media.
They should sign Aaron Hicks.
Yankees are still paying for his salary this year if I’m not mistaken on that.
He’s on the books for 10 million through next season I do believe. At least we don’t have to pay Donaldson in 2025…
I am pretty sure the White Sox can get Andrew Benintendi through waivers without anybody making a claim. We can have him all packed up and ready to head back to NY in less than an hour. Let’s talk.
But who would want to pay 15 million a year for -2.0 WAR
The said circumstance has him going through waivers, they wouldn’t pay anything but the minimum
Very Barry: Talk about what? The trade deadline has passed.
Oh man, that had me rolling. Good one.
Get well, get well soon, we want you to get well. Ahahaha!
Dang! Hope he’s good for Spring
Amed Rosario now has his fifth team
This makes too much sense
I doubt Roeario makes it that far one waivers.
Mariners won’t let a .300 hitter get that far down
Thanks DS, that’s what I meant to say but I cut off my own response
(…if he clears Waivers)
They wanted to sign him in the off season. Would rather see him go to an NL team that knocks the Dodgers out of the playoffs on his game winning hit.
We like what Mets6986 likes! Thumbs up approved
Every fan roots for another teams demise. Be kind be hard for your team to win if everyone else didn’t lose. Why do Dodger fans get butt hurt when everyone else routes against them?
How do I have an inferiority complex? I just don’t like LA period.
Mets6986: Probably more so when people, you know, ROOT against them.
Depending, of course, on the ROUTE they take.
362-282 in favor of LAD, all-time. 4-2 LA this year. So it makes sense you don’t like them.
I never want hear about a guy getting hurt but I am happy that I won’t have to listen to fellow Pirates fans talk about how the team screwed up not getting this guy.
It’s funny how the same people screeching about how they had to trade for a big bat like BDLC have suddenly gone silent?
They seemed to be on the right track, hanging around, then trade deadline and boom season over.
people screeching about how they had to trade for a big bat like BDLC have suddenly gone silent?
==========================
They went off. I tried to remind them that DLC had a career 95 OPS+, but they kept screaming he was a middle-of-the-order hitter.
His production replacing De La Cruz or whoever else was in the outfield would probably have them in better shape than they are now for what it’s worth.
And there’s the inevitable injury. If he could stay healthy, he could be an invaluable player, for sure.
Invaluable, not Top 50 for now.
They got fleeced in that deal. The guy is raking in minor league and young for his level
Hate this for Jazz
and the Yankees.
Too many injuries
across the league!
Doesn’t matter. This team is going nowhere. 20 wins in their last 50 games is who they are, as we have seen since the all-star break – even with Chissom.
I am not a Yankee fan, at all, but you are very wrong in your assessment of the Yankees. Going back to June 1, the Yankees are 30-31 overall and 8-5 with Chisholm AND ARE TIED FOR THE BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL!!!
Dang diddily dang diddily dang ding dong. He was doing so well, too!
Great! More intentional walks for Judge.
Time for Berti to step up.
love Berti
Jeeves made Berti what he is.
Time for the Yankees to finally make the common sense move and acquire Joey Votto?
They could probably acquire Joey for just 2 or 3 very good prospects.
Do it now.
2-3 very good prospects?
You mean like a 29 year old reliever who has never advanced past AA, right?
We want Joey Votto for Jasson Dominguez, Anthony Volpe, and Spencer Jones.
Sounds like a good deal to me!
You know Toronto is still in contention as said by their president so they would want win now players too
Add judge and Soto and you can get a future 3-7th ballot HOF’er!
Votto at age 40. He walks to the bathroom and pulls something. He is like Rendon, and you cant do much with him.
Votto is in the lineup versus Scranton-Wilkes Barre tonite. He’s hitting a robust .190.
You might as well trade for Mario
Mendoza.
Swing and a miss! Hit the art of identifying jokes more often, sir/miss!
Votto is 40 and is in the minors. If you look at his stats form the past few yrs , you will bee he is pretty much done. 2-3 prospects for that?
He’s done for the year. Too bad,
Slide feet first into home next time. Catcher would have been spotted for blocking.
Jazz had a problem early in his career with his hands and sliding head first, but he said he couldn’t make the adjustment and is more comfortable sliding that way. If I remember correctly, he said he’d just have to be more careful with it…
Please oh please don’t sign him to a 8-10 year “bargain” contract like they done with Aaron Hicks. They are still paying for him and everyone knew it at the time it was going to be bad.
He is not going to sign some minimal deal with the Yankees for small money. He wanted big bucks before going to NY. His agent adds on the NYY factor to the negotiations. He is fragile an hurt alot.
Jeez, Yankees finally find a guy to play 3B and that was getting hits to protect Judge. That sucks Yankee fans…
Bring up Caleb Durbin and the Martian immediately
Exactly why I did NOT want Seattle to trade for him.
Bc you saw in your crystal ball a fluke UCL injury?
yeah who could have foreseen him getting hurt?
Really? He’s been in the league since 2020 and his career high in games played in a season is 124. It doesn’t take a crystal ball. Some guys have good health…. Some don’t. It’s obvious where Jazz falls.
He is frequently hurt. Look at Rendon. He is older, but that guy waks to first base and pulls something. Same for Stanton and Trout. The big dudes get hurt alot. Sometimes the little guys are just as fragile.
I saw him not being able to stay healthy. Overhyped and fragile. His career won’t be very productive at this rate.
Seemed to fit like a glove in New York. He is a lot of fun to watch when he’s healthy and locked in. It’s unfortunate we just haven’t seen enough of that with Jazz.
Seems to fit because he started out hot. He could turn cold and the excitement level changes fast. Thats how it goes in NY.
I’m reading Homer and have to say…the Gods punishment for Hubris??? I know that’s not gonna go over well with people but he thinks he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Much like Soto. But Soto at least isn’t basing that on nothing. He sure was on a run tho, I’ll give him that.
So you’re saying he deserves the injury bc you don’t like his personality? You should read more Aristotle.
I’m partially making a joke. I never said I’m happy. I don’t care either way. Aristotle is by far the most overrated Greek philosopher (along with Plato really-but at that point in history Plato was a philosophical necessity I think. Perhaps Aristotle too, unfortunately.) Maybe try Heraclitus’ fragments. Pre-socratic philosophers. Aeschylus and some other Tragedy writers were quite wise.
Overrated philosopher? Yeesh.
Really he heralded the way for dogmatic materialism and the nihilism that we see in our modern world. In his day of superstition that may have been needed but today it’s bone sucking philosophy (he has his good moments like Plato). Also arguably responsible for the ultimate creation of the Roman Empire via his pupil Alexander (who was also likely indebted to Plato’s “The Republic”) which led to the eventual subjugation of humanity to the dictates of the Church. I’m painting a somewhat bias picture. There was good and bad in all this. I’m no historian. But back to baseball.
Well what do you think about my boy Friedrich Nietzsche?? I give him two thumbs up!
The Eternal Recurrence is a cool way to think about the proper way to live your life. Handy as a thought experiment anyway.
Agreed. Nietzsche is a truly deep philosopher. The kind that makes you question everything you think and believe and shows you other ways. He warned modernity of its plight into meaninglessness. They didn’t listen. I see so much on this site that boils down to the root problems that modern philosophy deals with. The people who think they are rational are just as irrational as those they put down. Just like modern supposed “scientific” thinkers are largely a response to religious dogmatism who merely substitute dogmas. Both sides are extremes and miss the point. Old school/new school. Same old story.
“Nietzsche is Peachy but Sartre is Smartre.”
Not clapping over it. But I grow tired of these players who don’t act professionally being poor examples for kids so I’m not sad they aren’t on the field. The whole “let them play” thing is, while having some merit, ultimately a symptom of cultural decline into the anything goes that is modern culture. Don’t just be yourself but rub it all over everyone’s noses. Just because it’s common in one culture doesn’t mean it’s valid. Sure, they are extremes. The old nose down/business like approach in US was a bit stifling. But the answer isn’t complete immersion in it’s opposite like the “Soto shuffle” bs or Ozuna rounding the bases 1mph with wings out. And he’s not as bad as so many people.
The Soto Shuffle is nuanced gamesmanship. Some players engage in it on and off the field. There’s a fine line where it can cross over into poor sportsmanship. I don’t feel tbe shuffle crosses that line and it’s kind of fun but that’s my subjective opinion.
I’ve seen him grab his cup (assuming he has one) in what seemed like a suggestive way several times while on WASH. That’s partially why I say it. Staring at someone is rude imo.
youtu.be/i7b9JzZHz00?si=DvP8wtBpucsxWefH
Yeah, that was too far. I wasn’t aware. Kids are watching. Glad he’s not doing that anymore at 25.
He did it to Greinke then Greinke, who acted like nothing was on his mind, toyed with him calling timeout right after he did a long pre-pitch thing, then threw up and in (which I don’t condone). Soto, to his credit, didn’t look too phased or make a scene (which wouldn’t have been out of line at that point imo) just looked like he understood “Oh, this isn’t some wimpy nerd like I thought. Ok.”
Nolan Ryan would have drilled him twice in the same game.
fazed, not phased. Greinke rarely used his Phaser.
A last resort in his back pocket after the 10th pitch of the at bat perhaps. The umpires only check you for sticky stuff. Show me where the rulebook says you can’t use a weapon. Well, I guess the bat and ball are weapons potentially but a gun is easier. Tho someone like Rodon could fracture an index finger.
Time for Caleb Durbin?
Is that the guy from Fight Club? Didn’t know he played ball.
I blame the pitch clock
Somehow Mark Prior & Dave Roberts are gonna get blamed for this
No because he’s not a pitcher.
Did they teach him to slide head first?
Anthony Davis of baseball (injury wise) strikes again
But Jazz doesn’t have a unibrow…?
anthony davis has an NBA title and olympic gold medal
Which is why I said injury wise…he’s nowhere close talent wise, even in his own dreams. Jazz comes out of games for anything and everything all the time, and hasn’t been able to stay on the field. He’s in street clothes way more often..
And $266MM in career earnings thus far.
Back in my day, players weren’t coddled like they are now! They played through pain, didn’t need all these fancy trainers and rehab programs. Nowadays, these young guys get a hangnail, and they’re on the IL for a week. We had tougher players who could handle the grind without all these injuries. Maybe if they spent less time worrying about launch angles and more time just playing the game, they’d stay healthier!
No they didn’t play thru pain. They just numbed it with alcohol and barbiturates.
@Ignorant Son-of-a-b
Nothing wrong with that.
They didnt make this kind of money either.
I once helped train a kid who won the county 3200 meters and promptly threw up. He looked up at me and said it was totally worth it. There still are some tough cookies out there.
Back in my day, they practiced with fifty pound sacks of potatoes, walked miles barefooted in the snow on off days to rerun bottles for their deposits, and fed the neighbor’s cat for extra cash. None of this “pay when injured” nonsense either
Back in your day the top stars didnt get 300 million dollar monster deals. Young players didnt make 10-20M a yr. So comparing things to your day doesnt mean anything. In your day there were not setup men specialists and closers who routinely throw 95+ MPH. The stakes game and money is far different. And who judges things like that. Mostly anecdotal since you dont know the extent of injuries. DId they have MRIs back then to see the damage? Nope. They had to go by X rays. MRI is far more detailed and sees more. I could imagine you with a young pitcher where you let him thow 115 pitches a game because you wanted him to go 9. Then the arm blow out for a TJ because you had to beat Oakland in a meaningless April game.
Back in my day, players played nearly 2 less seasons in their career than they do now. When they hurt their shoulder or their elbow, their career was over. None of this mamby pamby IL time. You are OUTTA HERE!
If the Pirates pick up Rosario, he would easily be their best hitter as well as team leader in multiple offensive categories.
Collapsing Mets should have plenty to trade now..won’t get much,but their pathetic A ball teams need anything they can get!
Hard to make many trades after the deadline unless you’ve found gold in the minors.
Dave Roberts strikes again
Fire that guy already
DodgersBro:
You’re aware that the front office makes personnel decisions, right?
Not Dave Roberts. Yeah I thought you were.
And you’re aware that despite a raft of major injuries for most of the season LAD sports a tie for the best record in baseball?
Yeah I thought you were.
Mojo
Yes
Yes
I’m also aware that Jazz Chisolm is a Yankee and Dave Roberts has nothing to do with him nor his injury.
Are you aware that my comment was, thus, a sarcastic response to everyone who blames Roberts for the Dodgers’ injuries.
Why not bring up Peraza? Can’t be as bad as the rest of the garbage they’ve trotted out for $300mil!
Tough blow, kid adds energy into that line up
This was pretty predictable. Yankees knew he was injury prone when they traded for him
Didn’t the Red Sox sign Giolito and trade for Grissom and Paxton?
FYI Jazz has had an injury record far greater than Giolito or Grissom. He’s out every year. I should know, I drafted him 3 years in a row and it cost me. Giolito has at least played a full season. Jazz has gotten injured every season and Grissom is too early to really know…
It wasn’t a jab at the Yankees I’d that’s what you think. It was just a pretty obvious turnout. I said he was injury prone when the trade was made. If you didn’t see it coming, well then now you do.
But if you trash the Red Sox, fine, but the topic is about the Yankees, and it was nonetheless predictable that Jazz would get injured. That’s the point
Nawww… not my style being toxic on the forum.
I agree with you on Paxton though, he is probably more injury prone than Chisholm, but they’re both up there and there’s a huge difference.
the one thing giolito had going for him was a history of health. red sox were counting on 175 slightly crappy innings
it’s frustrating that the analytically-inclined yankees don’t seem to understand that health is a skill that should be taken into account along with batted ball profiles spin rates etc
Take The A Train to the IL.
Sliding head first is asking for injury. You shouldn’t do it unless it’s a must win game. Hand, arm, shoulder and neck injuries easily could happen. Slide feet first, where are the coaches? Idiot keeps sliding head first every time.
One of my issues, and I see that a lot, is that he was turning his head to see where the ball was after he rounded 3rd. Once you’re waved in, and the decision is made, you should never look for the ball. That’s what the coaches are for.
It probably wouldn’t have made a difference, but every split second counts.
Tough blow. Was hoping we would get a shot to see him hit infront of Soto/Judge but now I’m hoping I see him again at all this season. Nothing good ever comes when UCL is mentioned.
Rosario is making sense right about now. Yanks still in it though. Wow baseball is mediocre it’s really anyone’s guess who will take it this year.
Unfortunate but this is the reason Jazz wasn’t the guy for the Marlins to build their franchise around. The injuries are just too much with him. It is every single season…
The Yankees are puttering out. If they finally did the obvious thing and traded some of their top prospects for Trout, it would put them over the edge.
The edge of what? Most payroll ever on the IL?
Trout doesn’t play a full season anymore. He’s the last thing that NY needs now.
Over the last few years Stanton has put up better numbers than Trout.
Cue Nelson.
Laughing at the Skankees not Chisolm.
Big part of the reason he is considered the most overrated player in MLB by other players is that he has never played a full season in the majors.
wow amed hitting 300 and dfa’d
I’m a Sox fan and one of my buddies is a Yankees fan. We had a little bet going as to who would be the first to get hurt – Jazz or Paxton (not that we want players to get hurt, just look at their careers. This is more for a why did my team grab this guy, they are perpetually hurt)
Looks like we both lost as they were added to the IL around the same time!
UCL injuries are never good even for off-arm of everyday player. Hopefully, it’s just sprain n won’t require surgery. Seems everything Cashman touches turns to doodoo. He’s lost whatever magic he had back in day n has to have compromising evidence on Steinbreners or something. How does this guy keep his job? If ol man were still alive Cashman woulda been fired long ago … and probably re-hired as well.
