Chisholm's Warm Weather Swing: Yankees' Fireworks

0:00On April 9th, Yankee's second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. sat out Thursday's game against the athletics, with Ahmed Rosario stepping in at second. Last season, Chisholm finished third among New York position players in WAR at 4.2, smashing a career high 31 homers and driving in. 80 runs. Chisholm's been feeling the chill early this year, blaming cold temps for his slow start at the plate. Recent games dipped into the low 40s, and during that 6-game homestand, it never cracks 60 degrees. He owns it straight up. His swing feels sharp, but standing in the freezing cold stiffens the body and numbs the hands on the bat. No excuses, though. He says it's just how he rolls, heating up when the weather does, like last year. Officials expect him back Friday against the raise at Tropicana Field, where the dome keeps things nice and toasty. With warmer swings ahead, Chisholm's primed to turn those stats into early fireworks for the Bronx bombers. From around the league, powered by AI, this is MLB News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
