New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit the batting cages ahead of spring training. The versatile Chisholm, traded by the Miami Marlins at last year's deadline, posted a video on Instagram on Monday showing him hitting in the cage. He had a tight strap from his right elbow to help him maintain his body while swinging.
"We back to work!," he wrote in the story.
The Yankees star could have an altered batting mechanic when he takes the plate in 2025.


Yankees manager confirms Jazz Chisholm Jr. will play second base next season
The Yankees are looking to add an infielder this offseason. Gleyber Torres, who primarily manned the middle infield in 2024, signed with the Detroit Tigers in free agency this offseason.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone has said that Chisholm Jr., who served in the hot corner, will slide across to play second base in 2025. That leaves a void for the Yankees at third base, prompting them to look at options. While a free-agent third baseman might prove to be expensive, the Yankees could fall back on former Chicago White Sox star Yoan Moncada.
Moncada has been in declining form since slugging to a .756 OPS in 2019. One insider said that the Yankees checked up on Moncada's medical status earlier this offseason.
"Early in the offseason, the Yankees asked for and received medical information on Moncada, who played just 12 games with the White Sox last season because of an adductor strain," Mark Sanchez reported.
