Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Chisholm (elbow) is "real close to a return" from the 10-day injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier this week, Boone described the possibility of Chisholm being activated from the IL when first eligible Saturday as "ambitious," but the skipper may have since changed his stance. While he might not be quite ready to go Saturday, Chisholm is in a good spot after getting through a pain-free session of batting practice Wednesday. It's unclear whether he will require a rehab assignment before returning. Chisholm is working his way back from a UCL sprain in his left (non-throwing) elbow.

Chisholm (elbow) took batting practice on the field ahead of Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday marks the first time Chisholm has swung a bat since a sprained left elbow sent him to the injured list last week. Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that it would be "ambitious" for the 26-year-old could come off the injured list when first eligible Saturday, but Chisholm at least seems to be trending in the right direction.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the Talkin' Yanks podcast by Jomboy Media on Tuesday that it would be "a little ambitious" to think Chisholm (elbow) could return when first eligible on Aug. 24.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm has, by all accounts, bounced back quickly from a UCL sprain in his left (non-throwing) elbow, as he's already resumed fielding grounders and hopes to be cleared to swing a bat soon. However, while the player had expressed optimism about returning when his 10 days are up, his manager is downplaying the possibility. A clearer timetable for Chisholm should be available in the coming days.

Chisholm (elbow) was spotted taking grounders at third base prior to Sunday's game against the Tigers, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm has spoken optimistically about his potential return from the injured list and this signifies a significant step in his recovery. He is also expected to resume swinging a bat soon.

Chisholm (elbow) said Friday that he expects to start swinging a bat "in a day or two," per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm's outlook continues to get rosier after initial fears that he may need season-ending surgery following his placement on the injured list Wednesday. The 26-year-old indicated Friday that he hasn't felt any pain since the day after spraining his UCL while sliding into home plate against the White Sox on Aug. 12. Chisholm hasn't yet resumed baseball activities, but that could be coming soon, and in the meantime he's been working with the Yankees' training staff on exercises to strengthen his shoulders. Though it may be overly optimistic, Chisholm suggested that he could be activated from the injured list as soon as he's eligible Aug. 24.

Chisholm will rest and rehab his left elbow UCL injury following consultations with multiple doctors, Jon Heyman and Greg Joyce of the New York Post report.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm was diagnosed with UCL damage in his elbow as a result of a slide into home plate earlier this week and was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. However, surgery has been deemed unnecessary for now, and the hope is Chisholm can return some time in September. It's uncertain when he will be ready to resume baseball activities, so he lacks a clearer timeline, but he has avoided the worst-case scenario. Oswaldo Cabrera will continue to fill in at third base for the Yankees while Chisholm is out.

The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left elbow sprain.

EDGE Analysis

He was injured during Monday's game against the White Sox on a slide into home plate. A decision on whether Chisholm will be able to rest and rehab the injury or require season-ending surgery has yet to be made, but even in a best-case scenario, he's going to miss multiple weeks of action. In the meantime, Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base for the Yankees, with DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza also in the mix for playing time at the position.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Chisholm suffered a UCL injury in his left elbow, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone noted that the team is still trying to determine the severity of Chisholm's injury, but he will almost certainly need to spend time on the injured list and may require surgery. The 26-year-old has slashed .316/.361/.702 with seven homers and 11 RBI in 61 plate appearances since joining the Yankees while primarily playing third base. Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see regular reps at the hot corner while Chisholm is out.

Chisholm (elbow) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm had to make an early exit from Monday's game after injuring his elbow sliding into home plate. Initial X-rays came back negative, but he'll sit out Tuesday's contest in order to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will cover the hot corner instead and bat eighth.

X-rays on Chisholm's left elbow returned negative Tuesday night, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team initially reported that Chisholm would be sent for imaging Tuesday, and while he's still scheduled to undergo an MRI in the morning, this appears to be good news for fantasy managers. It remains unclear at this time whether the third baseman will be cleared to start Tuesday's game.
