Jazz Chisholm Jr. returned to the New York Yankees lineup, starting at third base against the Boston Red Sox after a brief injury layoff. Chisholm had missed the previous two games due to a groin issue that followed an oblique strain earlier this season. His performance in the first 38 games includes a modest .215 batting average with nine home runs, highlighting both his power potential and the concerns surrounding his availability.

His health remains critical for the Yankees, particularly as they navigate injuries in their infield. Manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about Chisholm's readiness before the Boston series, underlining the Yankees' cautious approach to his return. With a .770 OPS, Chisholm brings much-needed energy and offensive capabilities to the lineup, but consistent on-field time is essential for him to realize this potential.
