Chisholm (oblique) fielded grounders Friday at Yankee Stadium and was scheduled to begin hitting off a tee earlier this week, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Chisholm has been out all month with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to ease back into baseball activities. The second baseman was originally given a 4-6 week return timeline, so he's likely still not close to being activated from the IL even in a best-case scenario.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Facing extended absence
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Chisholm was diagnosed with a high-grade strain of his right oblique and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The 27-year-old Chisholm sustained the injury Tuesday against the Orioles and landed on the 10-day injured list earlier Friday. Significant oblique injuries often have multi-month recovery timelines, so a return in four weeks seems optimistic for a high-grade strain. Jorbit Vivas is making his MLB debut at second base Friday versus the Rays and is expected to get regular playing time while Chisholm is out, at least initially.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Lands on IL with oblique strain
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right oblique strain.
Chisholm suffered the injury during Tuesday's game in Baltimore. While he and the team were holding out hope that he could avoid a stint on the IL, it ultimately didn't happen. Chisholm will be eligible for activation May 10, but it's uncertain at this point whether he'll be ready to go on that date. Pablo Reyes and Oswald Peraza should see the bulk of the second-base reps while Chisholm is shelved.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Feeling better, MRI still on tap
Rotowire
Chisholm said Wednesday that he's feeling better, but the Yankees still plan to have him undergo an MRI on his right oblique Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
As expected, Chisholm is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Orioles, but he remains with the team in Baltimore and won't get examined until the Yankees return to New York for their off day Thursday. Though Chisholm has downplayed the injury since exiting Tuesday's 15-2 win, manager Aaron Boone said that the 27-year-old infielder is still sore, and the team will let the MRI determine his next steps. Pablo Reyes will fill in for Chisholm at second base Wednesday.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Set for testing Thursday
Rotowire
Chisholm will undergo testing on his right oblique Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
The Yankees' decision to wait until their day off Thursday to evaluate Chisholm means he will not play in Wednesday's series finale in Baltimore. Chisholm could end up missing even more time, as manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's game that there's a chance that the second baseman ends up on the injured list. Chisholm, on the other hand, said he feels fine, though the final decision will likely come down to the results of his tests. Pablo Reyes is the favorite to pick up starts at the keystone for any time that Chisholm might miss.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Dealing with side issue
Rotowire

Chisholm experienced some side discomfort while at the plate in the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after ripping a triple in his only at-bat of the day.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Departs game in first inning
Rotowire
Chisholm left Tuesday's game against the Orioles in the top of the first inning, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Chisholm needed to have a trainer check on what appeared to be his side during the middle of his first-inning at-bat. The second baseman not only continued the at-bat, he tripled with a slide into third. However, after the slide, Oswald Peraza came in to run for him.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Avoids suspension
Rotowire
Chisholm reached a settlement agreement with Major League Baseball on Sunday that rescinds the one-game suspension he received for his conduct April 17, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The 27-year-old was ejected from that game against the Rays for arguing a called-third strike, and he was handed the ban after publicly criticizing the call on social media, since he did so from the clubhouse before the contest was over. Chisholm still paid a $5,000 fine but was able to stay clear of the suspension thanks to the settlement.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Slams seventh homer
Rotowire
Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to Cleveland.
Chisholm struck out twice in his first three plate appearances, but he ended his day with a two-run homer to right field. The veteran second baseman has a poor .161/.255/.425 slash line on the season, but he's tied for fifth in the majors with seven home runs. Chisholm has also stolen five bases, so he's provided useful fantasy production despite the low batting average.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Appealing one-game suspension
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Chisholm was given a one-game suspension by Major League Baseball, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Chisholm was ejected from Thursday's game for arguing a called third strike in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old infielder then publicly criticized the call on social media after he was tossed, which prompted the league to hand out a one-game ban. He'll remain eligible to play until a verdict is reached and will start at second base against the Rays on Friday.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Swipes two bags in win
Rotowire
Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.
Chisholm stole both second and third base to earn his first two-steal performance of the season. The 27-year-old keeps filling the stat sheet, hitting .242 with four homers, eight RBI, seven runs scored and three steals over 37 plate appearances this season. He should continue to thrive hitting in the middle of a loaded Yankees lineup.

Rotowire
Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win over Arizona.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Displays power, speed in spring win
Rotowire
Chisholm went 2-for-3 with a home run, three total RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's Grapefruit League victory against Philadelphia.
Chisholm is slashing just .179/.273/.359 this spring, but he reminded Yankees fans (and fantasy managers) of his dynamic skill set with a two-run homer and a swipe of second base Wednesday. The 27-year-old posted career highs with 24 long balls and 40 thefts last season, and he will look to build upon those numbers in his first full campaign with New York in 2025. Chisholm is slated to be the Yankees' primary second baseman, and he's a candidate to bat leadoff for the team this year after hitting mostly in the middle of the order following his trade to New York last season.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Launches first spring homer
Rotowire
Chisholm went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League loss to St. Louis.
Chisholm had been struggling entering Sunday, going 2-for-19 through his first eight spring games. Part of his struggles have been due to strikeouts -- he's fanned eight times through nine games -- but Chisholm is also tied for second on the team with four walks. The versatile veteran is penciled in to start at second base for the Yankees this season, and he and catcher Austin Wells are the leading candidates to bat leadoff when the campaign kicks off.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Penciled in at second base
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in an interview on WFAN Sports Radio that he has Chisholm penciled in at second base this season.
Chisholm played third base down the stretch this past season, but he's more familiar with second base and the Yankees have an opening there now with Gleyber Torres departing in free agency. Boone also mentioned Chisholm as a possible candidate to bat leadoff. DJ LeMahieu, Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza are slated to compete for the third-base job, although it's possible the club will still bring in some help from outside the organization.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Reaches $5.85 million deal for 2025
Rotowire
Chisholm agreed to a one-year, $5.85 million contract with the Yankees on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Chisholm lost his arbitration hearing with the Marlins for 2024 but was able to reach an agreement with the Yankees for the upcoming campaign. The 26-year-old primarily played third base after being acquired by New York but could be moved back to second base in 2025. Chisholm had 24 home runs, 40 stolen bases and a .761 OPS in a career-high 147 games during the regular season last year.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Launches 24th homer
Rotowire
Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates.
He got the Yankees on the board with a fifth-inning solo shot off Mike Burrows, but the Bucs already had a 4-0 lead at that point. Chisholm reached 40 steals on the season Friday, and he now sits one homer short of 25 with one game left to play on the regular-season schedule. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for New York since being acquired at the trade deadline -- 11 of his long balls, and 18 of his stolen bases, have come in only 46 games as a Yankee.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Making push for 40 steals
Rotowire
Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Athletics.
Chisholm has been a flash on the basepaths with 10 steals over 19 games in September. He's up to 38 thefts on the season, and while he's been caught stealing 10 times, that volume puts him in position to push for a 40-steal campaign. In addition to the elite speed, he's slashing a reliable .256/.326/.434 with 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 74 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples over 142 games between the Yankees and the Marlins this year.
