Jazz Chisholm Jr. Injury Update: Manager Aaron Boone hilariously dismisses Bahamian's 'ambitious' 10-day rehab plan despite sharing encouraging news

To quote Miley Cyrus, Jazz Chisholm Jr. "came in like a wrecking ball" following the trade that brought him to the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old made an instant impact on his new club, smashing seven home runs in only 14 games with his new team.

However, Chisholm Jr. suffered a left UCL sprain after sliding into home plate on August 12. Soon after the incident, Jazz was placed on the 10-day IL, taking one of the hottest batters out of the team's lineup.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone addressed Chisholm Jr.'s progression on an episode of the Talkin' Yankees podcast. Although Jazz said that he was looking to get back in the lineup as soon as his minimum of 10 days was up, Boone pushed back on that idea.

"That might be a little ambitious but the good news is that he is feeling like it is a possibilty," Boone said on the podcast [6:58].

Although Yankees manager Aaron Boone might not be as optimistic about Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s timeline for a return to the lineup as the player himself, he did provide some insight into his progress.

The star infielder has already started swinging a bat and hitting off of a tee, which is a positive sign coupled with his positive results when it comes to range of motion and strength.

While Jazz might not be activated from the 10-day IL as soon as he is eligible on August 24, it could come soon after that date if he reacts well after swinging the bat.

As the postseason rapidly approaches, the Yankees will need Chisholm Jr. to be as healthy as possible to help their World Series pursuit.

Aaron Boone said that surgery for Jazz Chisholm Jr. cannot be ruled out

As the interview progressed, Boone touched on any potential surgery that Jazz Chisholm Jr. could have to undergo. While it appears that the infielder is tracking well towards a return to the lineup, Boone said the team could not rule out any potential surgery given the fact that he is still not in the team's lineup.

Fortunately for the former Miami Marlins star, the UCL sprain is in his left arm. Since Jazz Chisholm Jr. throws with his right arm, the injury is something Boone considers the "best case [8:25]" in terms of affecting his gameplay.

The Yankees will closely monitor how he responds to his activity before considering activation from the IL.
