CHICAGO ā€“ New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. appears headed to the injured list with a left elbow injury, manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday.

The 26-year-old Chisholm has a probable ulnar collateral ligament injury and Boone said he will ā€œlikelyā€ end up on the IL. He said more physicians are evaluating the elbow and that the club should have enough information to make a decision by Wednesday.

Chisholm was hurt on a headfirst dive scoring in the fifth. He left during the seventh inning of Mondayā€™s 12-2 loss to the White Sox but downplayed the injury after the game.

ā€œIā€™m not super concerned about it,ā€ he said Monday night. ā€œAll the tests that weā€™ve done in here have been pretty positive.ā€

Chisholm bats left-handed but throws with his right.

The 2022 All-Star was acquired by the Yankees from Miami in late July and has contributed right away, hitting .316 with five homers, 13 runs and 11 RBIs in 14 games. Heā€™s one of just five players in the majors this season with at least 20 home runs and 25 stolen bases.

ā€œObviously heā€™s been really impactful for us,ā€ Boone said. ā€œItā€™s tough to not have him in there.ā€

Oswaldo Cabrera started at third Tuesday against Chicago. Boone said DJ LeMahieu also could see time there if Chisholmā€™s injury requires an IL stint.
