What to know

  • Chisholm returned September 22 from a 10-day IL stint for a sprained right thumb, playing second base against Tampa Bay.
  • His return revives a lineup question: whether to shift him to third base to keep Anthony Volpe, who filled in well, at second.
  • Joe Girardi publicly favors moving Chisholm to third; manager Aaron Boone has not committed to any plan.
  • Chisholm had been surging before the injury (.295/.388/.443 since Aug. 4) after a down season overall (.232 avg, 19 HR).

“He swung the bat pretty well over there, too. It didn't seem to phase the offensive part of his game.”
