CHICAGO (AP) โ The New York Yankees placed third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the 10-day injured list Wednesday because of a sprained left elbow and were waiting for more doctors to weigh in to determine whether he needs surgery, manager Aaron Boone said.
The Yankees remained hopeful Chisholmโs stay on the IL will be short, though itโs not clear when heโll resume swinging a bat. He hits left-handed and throws with his right.
โWeโll see what we have,โ Boone said. โWeโre obviously just a couple days into this. But weโre also somewhat optimistic.โ
The Yankees designated right-hander Enyel de los Santos for assignment, two weeks after acquiring him from San Diego at the trade deadline. They also recalled righty Will Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in time for his start against the Chicago White Sox and also brought back infielder Oswald Peraza from the RailRiders.
Chisholm was hurt on a headfirst dive scoring in the fifth inning of Mondayโs 12-2 loss to the White Sox. The 2022 All-Star downplayed the injury, saying he wasnโt โsuper concerned about it.โ
Chisholm was acquired by the Yankees from Miami in late July and has contributed right away, hitting .316 with seven homers, 13 runs and 11 RBIs in 14 games. Heโs one of just five players in the majors this season with at least 20 home runs and 25 stolen bases.
โHeโs been a dynamic player for us,โ Boone said. โHe provides power, speed. Heโs done a great job on defense. Heโs been great in the room. But again, hopefully, itโs something that doesnโt turn out to be too long and we can get him back.โ
