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 ālikelyā 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 Mondayās 12-2 loss to the White Sox but downplayed the injury after the game.
āIām not super concerned about it,ā he said Monday night. āAll the tests that weāve 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. Heās one of just five players in the majors this season with at least 20 home runs and 25 stolen bases.
āObviously heās been really impactful for us,ā Boone said. āItās 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 Chisholmās injury requires an IL stint.
