Yankees say Jazz Chisholm Jr. has high-grade oblique strain

NEW YORK -- Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. could miss four to six weeks with a high-grade oblique strain, manager Aaron Boone said Friday.

"In his mind, it's going to be real quick, but I think it's going to be a while," Boone said. "We'll just see how he heals up."

Chisholm suffered the injury taking a swing against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday a day after undergoing an MRI. Infielder Jorbit Vivas was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Chisholm on the active roster.
