Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is heading to the injured list with a thumb sprain, manager Aaron Boone told reporters, including Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The team has yet to announce the move. Jose Caballero is starting at second base tonight.
Chisholm injured his thumb sliding into second in the eighth inning of last night’s game. He was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double. Caballero replaced Chisholm on defense in the ninth inning.
Boone added that Chisholm will have no baseball activity for seven to 10 days. With only 18 games remaining in the regular season, he might be out until the playoffs. It’s the first IL stint of the year for Chisholm. He was on track to set a new career high in games played this season. The infielder has made 134 appearances in 2026, which put him in range to top the 147 games he played in 2024, before the injury.
Chisholm has provided his typical mix of power and speed. He’s popped 19 homers and stolen 40 bases. Overall, he’s slashing .232/.312/.403 across 520 plate appearances. Chisholm matched a career high with that stolen base total. Chandler Simpson recorded his 40th theft last night to move into a tie with Chisholm atop the AL leaderboard. Simpson and Bobby Witt Jr. (39 steals) will battle it out with Chisholm out of the race.
Caballero has posted an 85 wRC+ while bouncing around the diamond. He opened the season as the club’s regular shortstop. The veteran was bumped by Anthony Volpe and then George Lombard Jr., but has still found his way to near-regular playing time. Caballero isn’t the same caliber of hitter as Chisholm, but the shape of his production is similar. He has 13 home runs and 31 stolen bases while reaching base at an underwhelming .292 clip. Caballero should be an upgrade at the keystone. He’s been a positive defender at second base by Defensive Runs Saved in all four seasons of his career. Chisholm has posted a career-worst -8 DRS this year.
Chisholm’s injury could be the opening Volpe needs to return to the big-league club, though that move doesn’t appear imminent. As Greg Joyce of the New York Post notes, Volpe is in the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lineup tonight. So is utilityman Max Schuemann. Oswaldo Cabrera, however, was not included in the RailRiders’ starting nine. Cabrera has only played three games with the Yankees this year. He has big-league experience at all four infield spots, but has mostly played shortstop and third base in the minors this season.
