Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 1-for-4 at the plate in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Royals. The lone hit came in the bottom of the 11th inning when the left-handed hitter shot a ball to the left side of the infield, but with speedy Jon Berti running from third, Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. rushed his throw and the inaccurate attempt at home allowed Berti to score, resulting in a wild walk-off win for the Yankees. The 26-year-old has hit well overall between Miami and New York, but is just 4-for-27 (.148) over his last seven games and his last home run came back on August 28. Perhaps the electricity from the walk-off win will ignite a hot streak for the multi-category contributor, who has authored a .261-22-66-69-35 line on the season with a .332 wOBA and 112 wRC+.

The New York Yankees officially reinstated infielder/outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (elbow) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's series opener against the Colorado Rockies at Yankee Stadium. In a corresponding move, the Yankees optioned infielder Oswald Peraza to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. Chisholm has avoided season-ending surgery on the UCL in his left elbow and should return to the Yankees' starting lineup immediately on Friday at third base against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. It's a welcomed development for the Yankees and fantasy managers alike, as the 26-year-old has appeared very comfortable in pinstripes so far, going 18-for-57 (.316) with seven homers, 11 RBI and five steals in 14 games since being acquired in a trade with the Miami Marlins. Get him back into your fantasy lineups on Friday if he's indeed back in New York's lineup.

The New York Yankees optioned infielder Oswald Peraza to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, which points to the Yankees activating infielder/outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (elbow) on Friday. Manager Aaron Boone said earlier in the day that Chisholm is "real close to a return" from the 10-day injured list after he took batting practice at Yankee Stadium before Wednesday's contest. The 26-year-old is recovering from a UCL injury to his left (non-throwing) elbow, but what initially looked like a potential season-ender, turned out to be much less serious. It's great news for the Yankees and Chisholm's fantasy managers, as his production has been fantastic since being acquired in a trade with the Miami Marlins at the trade deadline. Chisholm has hit .316 (18-for-57) with seven homers, 11 RBI and five steals in his first 14 games in the Bronx and should return to starting duties at third base.UPDATE: The Yankees' plan is to activate Chisholm from the IL for the series opener on Friday against the Colorado Rockies.
