The move is retroactive to Wednesday. Infielder Jorbit Vivas was recalled from recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Chisholm's place on the roster.

Chisholm last played on Tuesday. He left the Yankees' 15-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles early after appearing uncomfortable during his first-inning at-bat.

He later said he felt the injury "a little bit" while swinging at a foul ball on the first pitch he faced.

Chisholm went on to record an extra-base hit that turned into a triple thanks to an Orioles error. He was replaced by a pinch runner at third base.

The Yankees infielder said after the game that his coaches had recommended the early exit. MLB.com's Bryan Hoch noted that Yankees third base coach Luis Rojas was the one who signaled to take out Chisholm.

"No time to risk it. It's April, we've still got a lot of baseball left, I'd rather take two to three days off than six weeks," Chisholm said on Tuesday night, per YES Network.

That timeline apparently changed after Chisholm underwent an MRI, which the Yankees had previously indicated was scheduled for Thursday.

Chisholm has struggled to find consistency at the plate so far this season, batting .181 with a .714 OPS through 30 games. The Yankees will hope he can record more regularly competitive at-bats when he returns from injury.

Chisholm's injury could lead to an MLB debut for Vivas, who was acquired by the Yankees as part of a December 2023 trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has played in 601 career minor league games with no MLB appearances, although this is his third call-up to the majors.
