New York Yankees Announced Chisholm Jr. Update

Ahead of Friday’s game, manager Aaron Boone shared the latest on the two-time MLB All-Star.

MLB.com also wrote (on September 18): “Went on the IL on Sept. 10 and will have no baseball activities for 7-10 days. “Doing well,” Aaron Boone said Sept. 18, Chisholm’s fourth consecutive day of hitting. He has also been throwing.”
Looking At Chisholm Jr.
