Chisholm (side) exited Tuesday's contest against the Orioles with right flank discomfort, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Chisholm experienced some side discomfort while at the plate in the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after ripping a triple in his only at-bat of the day. The second baseman is apparently dealing with a right flank issue, which refers to the area between the ribs and hip. An exact diagnosis of his injury will likely come in the near future.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Departs game in first inning
Rotowire
Chisholm left Tuesday's game against the Orioles in the top of the first inning, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Chisholm needed to have a trainer check on what appeared to be his side during the middle of his first inning at-bat. The second baseman not only continued the at-bat, he tripled with a slide into third. However, after the slide, Oswald Peraza came in to run for him.

Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Receives injection for hip
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that LeMahieu (calf) received a "preemptive" cortisone injection in his right hip and is expected to resume his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday or Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
LeMahieu has gone 6-for-10 with a homer and a double through four games during his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset, but he received the injection after "feeling something come on" with his hip. The hip issue doesn't appear to be a serious concern, but it's a concerning development for a player that's recently been saddled by injuries. Assuming the veteran infielder can pick up his rehab assignment in a few days, he could be ready for his season debut with the Yankees after another week or two in the minors.

Yankees' Devin Williams: Pitches clean inning in relief
Rotowire
Williams struck out one batter in a scoreless inning in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Williams was being temporarily removed as the team's closer after the right-hander gave up three earned runs in consecutive appearances. Williams got a chance to work in a lower-leverage situation Monday, as New York trailed by one in the eighth inning when he entered the game. He had little trouble dispatching of the three Orioles batters he faced, needing 14 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side in order. If Williams is able to smooth things out and put together a string of effective outings, he could move back into the closer role in due time.
Warren (1-1) yielded four runs on six hits and two walks over 3.1 innings Monday, striking out five and taking a loss against Baltimore.
Warren gave up a run in the second inning but most of the damage came from Ryan O'Hearn's three-run shot in the third. Warren has not thrown more than five innings in any outing this season and has failed to complete four frames in two of his last three starts. He now owns a 5.63 ERA with a 26:12 K:BB through 24 innings. Warren is projected to face the Rays at home this weekend.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Effross (hamstring) will throw live batting practice soon, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Out since late February with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, Effross began a throwing program in early April and is ready to progress to facing hitters. He should be ready for a rehab assignment soon, although there's no timetable for the reliever's return to the Yankees' bullpen.

Yankees' Luis Gil: Begins throwing program
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Gil (lat) began a throwing program Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Gil's throwing progression had been pushed back because his right lat strain wasn't fully healed yet, but he played catch Sunday and felt fine a day later Monday. It will be a slow ramp-up for the right-hander, as Gil was shut down for two months. He won't be ready to rejoin the Yankees' rotation until at least June.

Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Still having knee problems
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Stroman still has discomfort in his injured left knee, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Stroman has been shelved for more than two weeks with left knee inflammation and was cleared to play catch in mid-April. However, he's steal experiencing lingering soreness and it's not clear when he might be ready to throw off a mound. Stroman appears to be multiple weeks away from a return.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Taking seat Monday
Rotowire
Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Cabrera appears to be receiving a routine day off after he had started each of the last 10 games while going 10-for-36 with three extra-base hits and five walks. Oswald Peraza will replace him as the Yankees' starting third baseman and No. 9 hitter, but Cabrera's spot atop the depth chart appears secure. DJ LeMahieu (calf) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and should return from the 10-day injured list soon, but after posting a career-worst .528 OPS in 2024, it's unclear if he'll be able to unseat Cabrera as the Yankees' preferred option at the hot corner.

Yankees' Ben Rice: Idle for series opener
Rotowire
Rice is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Though the Orioles are sending right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Rice will hit the bench for the series opener in Baltimore, breaking a streak of five consecutive starts. Rice missed two straight starts early last week due to a left elbow contusion, but he went 3-for-19 with a home run, a double and three walks over the ensuing five games, and the Yankees haven't indicated that he's dealing with any setbacks on the health front. With Rice out of the lineup, Trent Grisham will draw a second consecutive start atop the batting order, while Aaron Judge returns to the two hole after batting third behind Rice in Sunday's 5-1 win over Toronto.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Swats seventh homer
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Toronto.
After sitting out the matinee, Grisham started in center field and batted leadoff for New York in the nightcap of the twin bill. The veteran outfielder made a quick impact, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot to right-center field. The long ball was the seventh of the season for Grisham, who has needed just 65 plate appearances to reach that mark. Among players with at least 50 PAs, his 8.14 AB/HR ranks third behind only Carson Kelly (6.83) and Sean Murphy (7.14).
Volpe went 4-for-7 with two runs scored, one home run and two RBI across both games of Sunday's doubleheader split against Toronto.
Both of Volpe's RBI came in Game 1 -- on a bases-loaded walk in the third inning and a solo homer to right field in the fifth. He recorded his fourth and fifth multi-hit games of the season Sunday and has started the year slashing .228/.325/.446 with three stolen bases, 15 runs scored, five home runs and 17 RBI in 117 plate appearances.

Rotowire
De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays.
De Los Santos was called up Sunday to operate as the team's 27th man versus Toronto, tossing two scoreless innings and allowing three hits while striking out one batter in the team's 11-2 Game 1 win. The appearance out of the bullpen was his first in the big leagues since 2023 with the Pirates, and he'll now wait for his next chance to join the Yankees down the road this season.

Rotowire
Judge went 3-for-8 with two runs scored and a solo homer across both games of Sunday's doubleheader split against the Blue Jays.
Judge collected his eighth homer of the season in Game 2, when he took Chris Bassitt deep to right-center field to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. Judge logged at least one hit in each of Sunday's bouts, which extended his hitting streak to eight games. His 1.217 OPS is best in the majors, and his 27 RBI leads the American League.

Rotowire
Escarra went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Blue Jays in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Escarra started in Sunday's nightcap after Austin Wells served behind home plate in Game 1. Escarra extended the Yankees' lead to three runs in the sixth inning on an RBI single to right field, and he followed that up with his first major-league home run in the eighth. Escarra has gone 5-for-25 with three walks, two runs scored, one home run and two RBI this season.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Fans six in no-decision
Rotowire
Schmidt did not factor into the decision in the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Blue Jays in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader. He allowed one run on one hit and four walks while striking out six over five innings.
Schmidt limited the Blue Jays to five baserunners while generating 14 whiffs on 90 pitches (52 strikes), and his lone blemish came in the third inning on an Anthony Santander solo home run. It was Schimdt's best start since being activated from the 15-day injured list April 16, and through three starts he has a 5.52 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 14.2 innings. Schmidt will look for his first win of 2025 next weekend at home against Tampa Bay.
