During their series with the Rays, the Yankees will likely get Jazz Chisholm Jr. back off the injured list.
He last played in a game on September 8.
MLB.com wrote (on September 20): “”In play, potentially” to be activated Sept. 22, manager Aaron Boone said on Sept. 20. Went on the IL on Sept. 10 and had no baseball activities for about a week. Has been hitting and throwing since then.”
When Chisholm Jr. gets back, the Yankees will have to make a roster move.
According to Michael Kay (via The Michael Kay Show), Max Schuemann is expected to be optioned.
Kay (on Monday):”So, you’re gonna get Jazz Chisholm back probably tomorrow, and the move is Max Schuemann will go down.”
