The Yankees have to hope that Chisholm is right about his body. An oblique strain is rarely a short-term injury. Generally, any issue with it will linger with a hitter until they are shut down from swinging for a sustained period.

New York yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. doesn't appear to be worried after he left Tuesday's game early with an injury.

That potentially changed Tuesday night, when Chisholm left the Yankees’ 15-3 blowout win over the Baltimore Orioles with an oblique problem. Chisholm hurt himself on a first-inning foul ball, stayed in the game, and then reached third on a double and error.
