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 Chisholmโ€™s stay on the IL will be short, though itโ€™s not clear when heโ€™ll resume swinging a bat. He hits left-handed and throws with his right.

โ€œWeโ€™ll see what we have,โ€ Boone said. โ€œWeโ€™re obviously just a couple days into this. But weโ€™re 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 Mondayโ€™s 12-2 loss to the White Sox. The 2022 All-Star downplayed the injury, saying he wasnโ€™t โ€œsuper 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. Heโ€™s one of just five players in the majors this season with at least 20 home runs and 25 stolen bases.

โ€œHeโ€™s been a dynamic player for us,โ€ Boone said. โ€œHe provides power, speed. Heโ€™s done a great job on defense. Heโ€™s been great in the room. But again, hopefully, itโ€™s something that doesnโ€™t turn out to be too long and we can get him back.โ€
