Batting Practice and Fielding Drills Signal Progress
New York Yankees infielder Thairo Estrada took on-field batting practice on August 21 and has been fielding grounders at third base, according to manager Aaron Boone.
Encouraging Signs
The Yankees are relieved to see Chisholm back on the field. He has been sidelined with a left ankle injury since July 19. However, he is making good progress in his recovery and could return to the lineup soon.
According to Boone, Chisholm will continue to ramp up his activity in the coming days. He will likely participate in simulated games before returning to the lineup.
Yankees Injury Update
The Yankees have been hit hard by injuries this season. In addition to Chisholm, several other key players have missed time, including Luis Severino, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu.
However, the Yankees have been able to withstand the injuries and remain in contention for the AL East title. They are currently 69-55, 3.5 games behind the first-place Tampa Bay Rays.
Conclusion
The return of Chisholm is a major boost for the Yankees. He is a versatile player who can contribute both offensively and defensively. His return will give the Yankees a much-needed depth boost.
