Jazz Chisholm likely headed to injured list in potential Yankees disaster

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is likely headed to the injured list with a UCL injury in his left (non-throwing) elbow, manager Aaron Boone said before Tuesday’s game against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. 

The Yankees were still waiting to hear back from doctors to determine the severity of the injury, which happened Monday night when Chisholm dove head first into home plate and got tagged on his outstretched left elbow.

Asked whether surgery was on the table or if it could cost him the rest of the season, Boone said he hoped not but did not yet know. 

“We’ll probably have a better idea after all the doctors weigh in over the next 24 hours,” Boone said. 

“Obviously he’s been really impactful for us and hopefully this is something that’s a shorter period and we get him back and rolling,” Boone said. “Certainly tough to not have him in there [given] what he’s meant to our team already.

So do our best to support him and get him right and hopefully get him back out there.”
