Jazz Chisholm Nears Return, Hopes to Skip Rehab Assignment

Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been sidelined with a high-grade strain of his right oblique since April 29. Recent updates suggest he is making significant progress, participating in batting practice and hitting against high-velocity machines. Chisholm's preference is to avoid a rehab assignment, citing his past experiences with the Marlins. However, manager Aaron Boone believes a short stint in the minor leagues is probable to ensure he is game-ready.

Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton is participating in simulated games in Tampa and could begin a rehab assignment soon. Other Yankees players, including Fernando Cruz, Luis Gil, and Jake Cousins, are also showing positive signs in their injury recoveries.

Gerrit Cole, while undergoing rehab for Tommy John surgery, is focusing on family time and maintaining a positive outlook. His ability to find enjoyment during this period is beneficial for his overall well-being and long-term recovery.

Chisholm is aiming to return in approximately two weeks, as of late May 2025.

Manager Aaron Boone anticipates that Chisholm will likely have a rehab assignment before rejoining the team.

Cole is focusing on spending time with his family and maintaining a positive attitude.
