Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Could Miss 4-6 Weeks with Oblique Injury, Aaron Boone Says

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed that infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. could miss roughly four to six weeks with an oblique injury, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

The Yankees announced Friday that they placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday.

Chisholm suffered the injury during the first inning of New York's 15-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.

He appeared to be uncomfortable in his first at-bat of the game, holding his side after fouling off the first pitch. Chisholm stayed in and hit a double, but was replaced by a pinch runner on the bases and didn't return.

The 27-year-old wasn't too worried about the oblique issue after the game.

“I’m really not as concerned as everybody else,” Chisholm said, via Hoch. “I feel pretty good. I’ve torn my oblique before, so I know it’s not like torn or anything. I can cough without any pain or anything like that. It’s just to be cautious and not try to overdo it.”

The former All-Star is in the midst of his second year in New York, as the team traded for him in the middle of the 2024 season. Chisholm excelled after the swap, recording 11 home runs and 23 RBIs to go along with an .825 OPS in 46 games following the deal.

He wasn't off to a hot start to open his 2025 campaign, owning a .181/.304/.410 slash line in 30 appearances despite racking up seven homers.

Until Chisholm is able to return, New York could rely on infielder Jorbit Vivas after calling him up on Friday.

Vivas has recorded 30 hits in 26 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre during his 2025 campaign.
