Jazz Chisholm Jr. DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) hit against velocity over the weekend of May 23-25 and could face live pitching and/or go on a minor-league rehab assignment this week, according to MLB.com. Chisholm suffered a strained right oblique almost four weeks ago but could return in early June as long as he doesn't suffer a setback with his oblique during his rehab assignment. When Chisholm returns to the Bronx, he should settle back into his starting role at the keystone, which will likely shift veteran DJ LeMahieu to third base. The 27-year-old native of the Bahamas was hitting a weak .181 (19-for-105) before going on the injured list, but he also had seven home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs and six stolen bases in 30 games. Chisholm's power/speed combination in a strong Yankees lineup makes him worth stashing in all fantasy leagues.

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) has been hitting off a tee and flips and running at roughly 60 to 70 percent, according to MLB.com. Chisholm said he actually has three separate tears in his right oblique muscle, but he's still hoping to beat the initial timetable for a return of four to six weeks. The 27-year-old is being eased back into baseball activities after suffering a right-oblique strain and is still in play to return next month. Although he was hitting just .181 (19-for-105) at the time of his injury, Chisholm had also contributed seven home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs and six stolen bases for the Yankees. The native of the Bahamas needs to be stashed in all fantasy formats while he recovers. In the meantime, veteran DJ LeMahieu, who recently made his 2025 debut, is expected to see most of the playing time at the keystone in the Bronx.

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) is dealing with a high-grade right-oblique strain, according to manager Aaron Boone. "I think it's gonna be a while," Boone said. With Chisholm on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 30), Boone said that infield prospect Jorbit Vivas is going to get an opportunity to play. Vivas is starting at second base and batting ninth in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Ryan Pepiot. The 27-year-old Chisholm is expected to be out for four to six weeks, so fantasy managers are going to need to be patient as they await his return. It's a tough break for Chisholm, who has hit just .181 (19-for-105), although he has provided seven home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored and six stolen bases. Vivas is certainly worth a look in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues with Chisholm out for an extended period of time.
