Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm likely to go back to former position when he returns
NY Post
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jazz Chisholm Jr. will suit up for his first rehab game Thursday, but across the diamond from where he has spent the rest of this season.
Chisholm will be playing third base as he begins a rehab assignment Thursday with Double-A Somerset, a sign that that’s where he could be when he is activated off the injured list, which would allow DJ LeMahieu, who went 0-for-4 in Wednesday’s 1-0 win in Anaheim, to stay at second.
“Maybe, we’ll see,” manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday at Angel Stadium. “I want him to work over there this week and in his games over there, keep that flexibility. Then we’ll make a decision one way or the other.”
Chisholm had learned third base on the fly last summer after the Yankees acquired him from the Marlins.
He moved to second base this spring and formed a dynamic double-play combo with Anthony Volpe before getting hurt.
But since Chisholm landed on the injured list with an oblique strain at the start of this month, the Yankees have lost their regular third baseman, Oswaldo Cabrera, to a season-ending broken ankle.
