The Yankees reinstated Chisholm (elbow) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old landed on the injured list in mid-August due to a UCL sprain in his left (non-throwing) elbow, but he's ready to rejoin New York after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Chisholm has been a significant contributor in 14 games since being acquired from the Marlins, as he has a .316/.361/.702 slash line with seven homers, five steals, 11 RBI and 13 runs in 61 plate appearances with the Yankees.

Chisholm (elbow) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although manager Aaron Boone said earlier in the week that it would be "ambitious" to expect Chisholm to return from the IL after a minimum-length stay, it now appears that is exactly what the 26-year-old will do. Before landing on the injured list, he had slashed .316/.361/.702 with seven homers and 11 RBI across 14 games as a Yankee, and he figures to immediately slide back into his previous role as New York's everyday third baseman. Oswald Peraza was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday to create a roster spot for Chisholm.

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 (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.
