Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. injures left elbow sliding home against White Sox

CHICAGO — Jazz Chisholm Jr. said he’s “not super concerned.”

Still, all the same, the Yankees will wait until seeing Tuesday’s test results before collectively exhaling.

Chisholm, the club’s headline trade deadline acquisition who has made a positive impact on both sides of the ball, left Monday night’s 12-2 loss to the White Sox with what the Yankees announced as a “left elbow injury.”

It occurred in the fifth inning when Chisholm, taking off on the pitch, scored from second on Anthony Volpe’s grounder deep in the hole at short, sliding in at the plate and absorbing a hard tag attempt by catcher Korey Lee.

“Slid in, my adrenaline was still going so I didn’t feel it right away,” Chisholm said. “A half inning went by . . . started to feel it a little bit, went to Boonie [manager Aaron Boone] and the trainers and told them it was throbbing a little bit.”

Boone said initial X-rays taken at Guaranteed Rate Field came back negative. But Chisholm will undergo additional testing, including an MRI, on Tuesday.

“Hopefully, we get good news on it tomorrow,” Boone said. “We’ll see what we have tomorrow. Hopefully, it’s not too serious.”

The lefty-swinging Chisholm had two of the Yankees’ nine hits Monday and is hitting .316 with seven homers and a 1.063 OPS in 14 games since joining the club just before the July 30 trade deadline. Additionally, Chisholm, a natural shortstop who had never previously played third base in his professional career, has more than held his own at the position with the Yankees.

“I’m not super concerned about it,” Chisholm said. “We went through all the tests, and all the tests we’ve done here have been pretty positive. I still feel it a little bit, it’s still kind of sore, but I think we’re going to be good.”

DJ resurgence?

Veteran DJ LeMahieu, who started the season on the injured list and mostly struggled after coming off it at the end of May, has taken advantage of his increased playing time, a result of the number of lefty starters the Yankees have faced of late. LeMahieu, at first Monday night with the White Sox starting lefthander Ky Bush, came into the night 8-for-23 (.348) with one homers, two doubles, 10 RBIs and four runs in his previous six starts.

“Feel like his patience has been really good through this,” Boone said. “Like he hasn’t gone out there and tried to force it, so he’s getting into a lot of deep counts, he’s seeing a lot of pitches, he’s being patient. But then he’s just more consistently getting a good swing off . . . he’s done a good job stringing a lot of good at-bats together here for us. Certainly been nice to see.”
