Second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been diagnosed with a right oblique strain. He suffered the injury during Tuesday&#8217;s 15\u20133 win over the Baltimore Orioles after legging out a triple off starter Kyle Gibson.

After hitting 3 home runs in the team&#8217;s first 3 games against the Milwaukee Brewers, his bat has gone awfully silent. The second baseman is 7 for his last 34 and 12 for his last 81, and his 39 strikeouts leads the Yankees. However, things were starting to look up for the former All-Star, as he was lowering his strikeout rate and has raised his OPS to .714, not to mention continuing to play stellar defense alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2025\/04\/24\/anthony-volpe-continues-struggling-offensively\/\" target=\"_self\">shortstop Anthony Volpe<\/a>. Ideally, this short stint on the injured list will act as a mental reset for the 27 year-old, and hopefully he&#8217;ll get back on his feet when he returns in mid-May.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"682\" data-end=\"953\">The injury comes at a difficult time for Chisholm. After launching three home runs in the Yankees\u2019 opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers, his bat has gone quiet. He&#8217;s just 7-for-34 over his last several games and 12-for-81 overall, with a team-high 39 strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1283\">That said, there were signs of improvement. Chisholm had been lowering his strikeout rate and raised his OPS to .714. He also continued to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2025\/04\/24\/anthony-volpe-continues-struggling-offensively\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">shine defensively<\/a> alongside shortstop Anthony Volpe. Ideally, this stint on the injured list will serve as a mental and physical reset for the 27-year-old, with a hopeful return in mid-May.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1308\">Vivas Gets His Shot<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1310\" data-end=\"1520\">In Chisholm\u2019s absence, second base duties will likely fall to Jorbit Vivas\u2014at least in part. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/08\/26\/top-five-yankees-prospects-watch-september\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Recalled several times<\/a> last season, Vivas has yet to make his major league debut, but that\u2019s expected to change soon. The 24-year-old was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers alongside pitcher Victor Gonzalez in exchange for shortstop Trey Sweeney. Ranked as the Yankees&#8217; 19th-best prospect by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/milb\/prospects\/yankees\/jorbit-vivas-678391\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MLB Pipeline<\/a>, Vivas has impressed this season in Triple-A. He&#8217;s hitting .319 with an .862 OPS, 17 runs scored, and 15 RBI through 26 games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"2103\">While his defense isn\u2019t on par with Chisholm\u2019s, the Yankees are likely to rotate second base duties between Vivas, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Oswald Peraza. This is a prime opportunity for Vivas to prove he can contribute at the major league level, now or in the future.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"2103\">Main Photo: \u00a9 Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The injury bug has struck the New York Yankees once again.
