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.
