Jazz Chisholm Jr. is facing a setback as he remains out of the Yankees' lineup due to a groin injury. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has indicated that while he is hopeful Chisholm can return for the game against the Red Sox, he was only available in case of an emergency during the finale against the Royals. Chisholm’s injury stemmed from tightness in his left groin, which followed a brief neck issue caused by a headfirst slide into third base.

Chisholm's absence is compounded by his recent return from a month-long stint on the injured list due to an oblique injury. He has struggled this season, batting only .215 with nine home runs in 38 games. His potential absence raises questions about the Yankees' lineup as they head into a crucial stretch against Boston.
