SAD NEWS: Yankees to suffer set back in the next few games as blockbuster picks injury

Yankees receive unfortunate injury news on their recent acquisition, Jazz Chisholm. Concerns about Chisholm’s durability quickly surfaced, as New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced on Tuesday that the newly-acquired infielder has suffered a UCL injury in his left elbow and will likely be placed on the injured list, according to Jack Curry of YES Network.

The 28-year-old Chisholm appears to have sustained the injury during a head-first slide into home plate in Monday’s game against the Chicago White Sox. Chisholm, a former All-Star, was acquired by the Yankees just two weeks ago in a trade with the Miami Marlins. He had been performing exceptionally well, hitting .316 with seven home runs in just 14 games, while also embracing a new position and winning over the notoriously demanding New York fans.

However, Chisholm’s injury history has always been a concern. He missed 102 games in the 2022 season and another 65 in 2023 due to various injuries. Although he throws right-handed and bats left-handed, this is still a significant setback for a Yankees team that has already had a rough week.
