Jazz Chisholm Jr., who has been on the injured list with a right thumb sprain since September 8th, is expected to return as soon as Tuesday for the Yankees. His comeback forces the team to consider whether to keep Anthony Volpe at second base despite his recent good performance or revert to their original lineup. Manager Aaron Boone indicates he will decide on how to adjust the roster and lineup based on how players perform in upcoming games.

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.

Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s return from a right thumb sprain is near, meaning the Yankees face some interesting decisions.
asserted
Yankees → mean → decisions
The second baseman could be activated from the injured list as soon as Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Rays, and while the corresponding roster move appears simple (Max Schuemann), the potential lineup moves bear watching.
uncertain
moves → activate → Rays
Try it freeAfter Chisholm got hurt diving into second base Sept. 8, the Yankees called up Anthony Volpe to get some run at the position he had mostly transitioned to at Triple-A, and he made the most of it.
asserted
he → try → it
In the 10 games since Volpe was recalled, he has started at second base nine times (José Caballero started the other) and mostly looked sharp, batting .286 with a .753 OPS and four steals.
asserted
Caballero → recall → OPS
Whether Volpe has done enough to warrant at-bats once Chisholm returns remains to be seen.
asserted
Chisholm → do → bats
Shortly before he was called back up, the natural shortstop had also started to mix in some third base, starting three games there, though Aaron Boone would only offer, “We’ll see,” when asked whether that could be an option for Volpe with Chisholm back.
uncertain
Chisholm → call → Volpe
“First things first, getting Jazz back and then we’ll figure it out as the week unfolds how I want to play it,” Boone said.
asserted
Boone → get → it
The Yankees have not gotten much offensive production from their third basemen this year, especially of late.
asserted
Yankees → get → basemen
Since returning from his own thumb sprain Sept. 1, Ryan McMahon has hit just 6-for-40 (.150) with a .402 OPS, with Caballero starting at third over him Sunday against a righty.
asserted
Caballero → return → righty
Amed Rosario has often started at third against lefties, and while he has not hit in line with his career numbers, the Yankees continue to believe he will.
asserted
he → start → numbers
Boone could also platoon Volpe and Chisholm at second base, as the lefty-hitting Chisholm is batting only .221 with a .654 OPS against lefties.
uncertain
Chisholm → platoon → lefties
But the pending free agent had just been starting to get hot in a disappointing season, hitting .391 with a 1.028 OPS over his last 15 games before getting hurt.
asserted
agent → pende → games
If and where Volpe fits on the playoff roster is just one of the many decisions they will have to consider over this final week of the regular season.
asserted
they → fit → season
“You know it’s going to take a lot of players and a lot of people when you get to spring training and the season unfolds,” Boone said.
asserted
Boone → know → training
“We’ll have hopefully some tough decisions to make when we’re setting postseason rosters and things like that.
asserted
we → have → that
But that’s a better problem to have.”
asserted
that → ’ → ?
Clarke Schmidt was expected to see the team doctor early this week after experiencing biceps cramping while warming up Sunday, which kept him from entering the game.
asserted
which → expect → game
The right-hander had just made his return from Tommy John surgery and is trying to carve out a role in the playoff bullpen.
asserted
hander → make → bullpen
Ryan Weathers (left forearm flexor strain) could also have a role in a playoff bullpen, but first the lefty will need to face hitters this week as he tries to show the Yankees he could jump right into postseason action without pitching in a game since he got hurt Aug. 22.
uncertain
he → have → game
