Jazz Chisholm Jr. sits against Dylan Cease Sunday

Jazz Chisholm Jr. grabs a seat on the bench as well with veteran southpaw Chris Sale toeing the rubber for Atlanta in this one. García went deep in his Yankees debut earlier this week and has gone 4-for-17 with a pair of RBI in four contests since being acquired from the Nationals last weekend. He’s He’ll continue playing everyday against right-handed starters with Paul Goldschmidt seeing opportunities against lefties for the final two months. His left-handed swing feels perfectly suited for Yankee Stadium and he has a realistic shot at reaching the 30-homer plateau for the first time in his career.

This is now the second straight game with Caballero on the bench. Now that Heliot Ramos is in town and George Lombard Jr. has been called up, it seems that Caballero might be shifting back to being a bench player. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can hold onto him for a little bit longer given his stolen base upside, but the time may have run out on his consistent fantasy value.

Chisholm blistered a solo homer off Hunter Dobbins to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. The 28-year-old has his first homer of the month of August after hitting four of them in July, and he’s now up to 17 on the campaign.

Lombard will make his major-league debut against the Cardinals on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. The 21-year-old remains a work in progress from an offensive standpoint at this stage of his development, but he’s shown some real over-the-fence pop at the Triple-A level this season. He’s a phenomenal defender and projects as New York’s long-term answer at shortstop, which means they can finally end the bizarre José Caballero and Anthony Volpe timeshare once and for all. He may not provide an instant fantasy impact outside of deeper leagues, but Lombard in a prospect worth monitoring closely, even in shallow mixers.

Schuemann was in a 1-for-18 slump to begin the second half, so he’s the choice to go to make room for Luis García Jr. This will probably lead to some additional outfield time for José Caballero.

Caballero was responsible for the only two runs of the game with his two-run shot, but that was one more run than the Cubs scored thanks to Gerrit Cole and the Yankees’ bullpen. Caballero has 11 homers on his campaign, and that roundtripper along with a single ups his slash to .244/.295/.387 on the year.

Chisholm left Thursday’s game in the 11th inning with leg cramps and didn’t play Friday. He’s batting fifth against a lefty tonight.

Chisholm received some extra time off to rest and recover after being removed from the 11th inning of Thursday’s series finale against the White Sox with bilateral cramping. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern. The 28-year-old power/speed combo infielder should return to New York’s lineup at some point this weekend.

It looked as though the dynamic 28-year-old infielder had sustained some sort of injury, so it’s encouraging to hear that he was just battling cramping. He’s considered day-to-day and should be good to return on Friday.

Chisholm struggled to run to first base on a grounder in his previous at-bat and didn’t look right in the field afterwards. He was allowed to hit and was intentionally walked in the 11th, but one he reached, the Yankees replaced him. It’s probably just a day-to-day injury, but we’ll know more soon.
