New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been placed on the 10-day injured list following a right oblique strain. This decision was made three days after the injury occurred during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. In response, the Yankees recalled Jorbit Vivas from Triple-A, who has been performing well in the minors with a .319 batting average. Chisholm has struggled this season, with a .181 batting average, while his defense has improved since returning to second base from previous positions in center and third base.
Chisholm had been scheduled to undergo an MRI in New York on Thursday, an off day for the Yankees. The move is retroactive to April 30.
Chisholm, 27, is batting .181 with seven home runs and a .714 OPS in 30 games; 10 of his 19 hits have been for extra bases.
Vivas is batting .319 with two home runs, an .862 OPS and 15 walks to eight strikeouts splitting time between second base and third base in the minors this season.
The Yankees acquired Vivas, alongside left-hander Victor Gonzalez, from the Los Angeles Dodgers for prospect Trey Sweeney in December 2023.
