Jazz Chisholm Jr. has begun a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset after recovering from a right oblique strain, playing five innings at third base. Manager Aaron Boone expressed interest in Chisholm transitioning to third base upon his return, a move Chisholm supports, indicating a team-first mentality. With DJ LeMahieu struggling offensively and Oswaldo Cabrera sidelined for the season, Chisholm’s potential shift could impact the Yankees’ trade strategy as they may look for infield upgrades if LeMahieu’s performance does not improve.
