3:05pm : Boone says Chisholms strain is of the high-grade variety and he might mi s four to six weeks, per of . 8:51am : The Yankees announced this morning that infielder is headed to the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain. The move is retroactive to April 30. Fellow infielder has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Chisholm Jacob Waguespack Jersey s spot on the active roster. Chisholm exited Tuesdays game with discomfort in his side and sat out Wednesdays contest. Manager revealed earlier this week that Chisholm would undergo an MRI on Thursdays off-day. That imaging clearly revealed enough for the Yankees to sit Chisholm down for the next week-plus. The team hasnt formally provided a timetable for Chisholms return yet, though even Grade 1 oblique strains can sideline players for upwards of a month. There are instances of players making it back from very mild strains sooner than that, of course. Boone will surely provide more information on Chisholms injury outlook prior to tonights game. The 27-year-old Chisholm has hit for plenty of power this season but has been far more strikeout-prone than he was in 2024. Hes slashing .181/.304/.410 with seven homers, three doubles, six steals (in seven attempts) and a career-best 12% walk rate. Hes also fanned in what would be a career-high 31.2% of his plate appearances and been dinged by a .200 average on balls in play hence the low batting average. Even with the basement-level batting average, Chisholms approach at the plate doesnt look as alarming as one might expect. Hes actually chasing pitches out of the strike zone at the lowest clip of his career. His 21.1% chase rate sits nearly seven percentage points lower than league-average. In general, Chisholm is seeing more pitches than ever before. Hes swinging at a career-low 41.1% of the pitches he sees, and his 4.27 pitches per plate appearance is both a career-high mark and the 24th-highest among 168 qualified hitters. The driving factor behind his strikeouts is easier to explain than to fix: Chisholms contact rate on pitches within the zone has cratered from 80.7% last year to 72.5% this season. (League average is just over 85%.) Chisholms strikeout rate had actually begun to come down in recent weeks; hes fanned in one-quarter of his plate appearances over his past 80 trips to the plate right in line with his 2024 levels so perhaps the spike in punchouts can be chalked up to some early-season white noise. Time will tell. In the meantime, Vivas will get his third recall to the majors and hope to finally be plugged into to the lineup this time. Hes been summoned to MLB two times in the past, but Boone has yet to write the 24-year-olds name on the lineup card or even send him into a game as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner or defensive replacement. Vivas is doing his best to force the i sue in Triple-A. Hes had a superb start to his 2025 season, batting .319/.426/.436 (139 wRC+) with a pair of home runs, five doubles, six steals (in 10 attempts) and more walks (12.9%) than strikeouts (6.9%). The lefty-swinging Vivas, in the 2023-24 offseason, can play both second and third base. Matt Wisler Jersey
