Jazz Chisholm Jr. commenced his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset after recovering from a right oblique strain. He played five innings at third base, suggesting a potential shift in his position. Yankees manager Aaron Boone is in favor of Chisholm taking on the third base role, especially with injuries affecting other players. Although his performance before the injury was not stellar, his presence is considered an improvement over current third base options. The Yankees hope to leverage Chisholm's skills as they navigate player injuries and underperformance.
Chisholm indicated that's indeed likely to be the plan. "That's what I've heard so far... (Boone) really wanted me at third base. I'm a team guy."
Neither Peraza nor Vivas has provided anything offensively. Chisholm was only hitting .181 before his injury, but he’d connected on seven home runs.
