Yankees place Jazz Chisholm Jr. on IL with thumb sprain; Caballero to start at 2B
The Yankees placed Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the injured list with a thumb sprain after a slide into second, with no baseball activity for 7–10 days and a chance he misses the remainder of the regular season or the playoffs. Jose Caballero starts at second base in his absence; Chisholm has 19 homers and 40 steals this season and is hitting .232/.312/.403 over 520 PA, while Caballero provides a similar production pace but is a better defender at second. With 18 games left, the shift could impact lineup plans around Volpe’s status in the minors and the Yankees’ late-season push.
