Blasts solo homer Tuesday
Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 2-0 win over St. Louis.
Analysis
Tuesday's game was a low-scoring affair, and Chisholm's solo long ball in the second inning turned out to be the game-winning run for the Yankees. It was the 17th long ball of the season for Chisholm and his first since his two-homer effort against the Pirates on July 20. He has a .695 OPS with 30 steals and 46 RBI over 420 plate appearances this season.

Back in action Saturday
Chisholm is starting at second base and batting fifth Saturday against the Cubs.
Analysis
Chisholm exited Thursday's contest against the White Sox after cramping up, and he was held out of Friday's series opener against the Cubs. However, manager Aaron Boone stated ahead of Friday's contest that Chisholm was "fully active," so he was likely just held out because Chicago sent a lefty starter to the mound. All seems to be well with Chisholm given his return to the lineup Saturday.

Absent from Friday's lineup
Chisholm (leg) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
Analysis
Chisholm had to be lifted from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to cramping in his leg. However, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that the infielder will be a "fully active player" for the series opener, per Greg Joyce of the New York Post. Chisholm's absence from the lineup is more about the Cubs starting a lefty in Shota Imanaga. Jose Caballero will handle second base for the Yankees.

Exit Thursday caused by cramping
Chisholm (leg), who was removed from Thursday's game against the White Sox in the 11th inning, was dealing with cramping, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
That's encouraging news after the speedy Chisholm had to be replaced by a pinch runner in the 11th frame after being intentionally walked. The veteran infielder limped off the field following a groundout in the ninth, but manager Aaron Boone said after the contest that the incident was the beginning of Chisholm's cramping issue rather than another type of injury, per the New York Post. Chisholm shared that he received treatment for the issue and is improving, so there's a chance he'll be back in the lineup Friday.

Exits with injury
Chisholm was removed from Thursday's game against the White Sox with an apparent leg injury, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Chisholm limped back to the dugout after grounding out in the ninth inning, and although he was able to remain in the game on defense, the Yankees lifted him for a pinch runner after the White Sox intentionally walked him in the 11th frame. It's unknown what exactly the star infielder is dealing with, but the team should provide more details in the near future.
