Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. will not require immediate surgery on his left elbow and could return in September, the New York Post reported Friday.
Chisholm, 26, was injured sliding into home plate in a game against the Chicago White Sox on Monday and landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a UCL sprain.
After seeking multiple medical opinions, the Yankees decided that rest and rehabilitation is a better course than surgery for Chisholm, per the report.
Chisholm had given New York an immediate spark since he was acquired from the Miami Marlins for three prospects on July 27. He became the first player in franchise history to hit seven homers in his first 12 games with the club.
Chisholm spent his first four-plus seasons in the major leagues with the Marlins, hitting .246 with 66 homers and 205 RBIs in 403 games. He is batting .316 with seven homers and 11 RBIs in 14 games with the Yankees.
