Story summary

Jazz Chisholm Jr., a key player for the Yankees, was activated from the injured list on September 19, after missing 12 games due to a sprained right thumb he sustained while sliding into second base during a game against Colorado. Before his injury, Chisholm had been performing well with a batting average of .391 over his last 15 games and was hitting .232 overall this season along with 19 home runs, 55 RBIs, and 40 stolen bases. During Chishom's absence, the Yankees called up Anthony Volpe from Triple-A to play second base; Volpe has shown promise, starting in 10 games and hitting a grand slam. However, Chisholm’s return led to an error where he failed to cover first base on a safety squeeze during the Yankees’ loss to the Rays, raising questions about his immediate impact and future role.

🔮 Were the 18 runs on 26 hits the Yankees exploded for in their wild-card series proof they could survive postseason games without Aaron Judge, or just the result of feasting on a Red Sox bullpen after Tracy pulled his starter early in both games?
🔮 The Yankees left Weathers off their roster for the wild-card series to give him more time to build up, hoping it would allow him to be available more often in the ALDS.
🔮 In all likelihood, it would have been just as a pinch hitter, possibly with a chance to be a full player later in the best-of-five series against the Rays if his right calf allowed.
🔮 But he still offers real value for the Yankees, with Aaron Boone saying earlier this week he could play a “massive role” moving forward.
🔮 But trying to take down the Rays without him may prove to be a more difficult task, though doing so would give him a chance to return for the ALCS. As of Friday, Judge had yet to run the bases, though he started a running progression on Tuesday, shortly before Game 1 against the Red Sox.
🔮 “The competitor” in Ryan Weathers did not want to throw live batting practice Monday night at Yankee Stadium because he knew it would mean not being on the roster for the AL wild-card series.
🔮 The schedule could play into Judge’s favor.
🔮 It remains to be seen whether the Yankees will keep Stanton on the roster for the ALDS against the Rays — especially if Aaron Judge can get back in time from his own calf strain — though it seems doubtful given that they will need to even out their balance after carrying 16 position players and 10 pitchers for this opening round.
🔮 Aaron Boone indicated that Judge was getting treatment on his right calf strain during Tuesday’s player intros, when the three-time MVP likely would have gotten one of the loudest ovations from the crowd at Yankee Stadium.
🔮 Upon informing him that he would not be in the lineup for Game 1, Aaron Boone said he texted Chisholm to tell him to be ready, because “you might be the most important person in the building tonight.”
