Yankees Reinstate Jazz Chisholm Jr. from IL

The New York Yankees have reinstated third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the injured list ahead of their series against the Colorado Rockies, after he recovered from a left elbow UCL sprain sustained on August 12. Chisholm, acquired from the Miami Marlins at the trade deadline, has been a significant contributor, hitting .316/.361/.702 with seven home runs and 11 RBIs in 14 games for the Yankees. The team opted to send infielder Oswald Peraza to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room for Chisholm. His return is timely as the Yankees, with a 75-53 record, hold a narrow lead in the AL East over the Baltimore Orioles. Chisholm's quick recovery and return are expected to bolster the Yankees' roster as they aim for postseason success.
