Chisholm to get MRI on injured elbow, 'not super concerned'

CHICAGO -- Jazz Chisholm Jr. is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday after injuring his left elbow on a slide into home plate during the Yankees’ 12-2 loss to the White Sox on Monday evening at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Chisholm scored from second base on Anthony Volpe’s infield single in the fifth inning. Television replays showed Chisholm rotating his left arm and shoulder between innings in the dugout. X-rays came back clean, according to manager Aaron Boone.

“I’m not super concerned about it,” Chisholm said. “We went through all the tests, and all the tests that we’ve done in here have been pretty positive. I still feel it a little bit, it’s still kind of sore, but I think that we’re going to be good.”

Chisholm remained in the game to play defense at third base but exited for a pinch-hitter, Ben Rice, when his spot in the batting order came up in the seventh.

“My adrenaline was still going, so I didn’t feel it right away,” Chisholm said. “An inning went by, just sitting there, and I started to feel it a little bit.”

Acquired from the Marlins on July 27 in exchange for three prospects, Chisholm has provided the Bombers with an instant spark, including becoming the first Yankee to hit seven homers in his first 12 games with the club.

In 14 games for New York, Chisholm is batting .316 (18-for-57) with one double, seven homers and 11 RBIs.
