Story summary

Jazz Chisholm Jr., a key player for the Yankees, was activated from the injured list on September 19, after missing 12 games due to a sprained right thumb he sustained while sliding into second base during a game against Colorado. Before his injury, Chisholm had been performing well with a batting average of .391 over his last 15 games and was hitting .232 overall this season along with 19 home runs, 55 RBIs, and 40 stolen bases. During Chishom's absence, the Yankees called up Anthony Volpe from Triple-A to play second base; Volpe has shown promise, starting in 10 games and hitting a grand slam. However, Chisholm’s return led to an error where he failed to cover first base on a safety squeeze during the Yankees’ loss to the Rays, raising questions about his immediate impact and future role.

Trent Grisham, meanwhile, is “pretty far into his running progression” from a right hamstring strain and “doing well,” Boone said, putting him in position to be in play at the end of the regular season. asserted

Before Judge’s calf strain, it was questionable whether there would be a lane for Grisham to get playing time if and when he returned. asserted

he → return → field

As for Ryan Weathers, the other Yankee trying to make it back in time for the playoffs (from a left forearm flexor strain), Boone acknowledged the lefty is “unlikely to get into a game before the end of the season.” asserted

lefty → try → season

Weathers is set to throw a second bullpen session on Saturday, after which he could advance to facing hitters in live batting practice. uncertain

he → set → practice

Whether that will give him enough time to show he should be part of the bullpen for the first round of the playoffs remains to be seen. asserted

he → give → playoffs

“We’ll see what our needs are and how he looks and if we feel like he’s ready to come in and be a contributor,” Boone said. asserted
