Jazz Chisholm Jr. believes he will be back in about two weeks and hopes a detour to the minor leagues is not needed.
The Yankees infielder, talking Tuesday while working with police and kids at an event at Macombs Dam Park in The Bronx, said he has progressed to hitting in the cage and believed he would be hitting against a high-velocity machine either Tuesday or Wednesday.
'We're pretty close,' said Chisholm, who has been sidelined since April 29 with a high-grade strain of his right oblique.
On May 2 — about two and a half weeks ago — the Yankees said he would be sidelined about 4-6 weeks. The infielder is no longer shooting for about a three-week absence, as he suggested last week, but returning in two weeks would hit the initial target.

Chisholm hopes the swings he can get against machines that approximate major league pitching can be enough to convince the Yankees that he is ready without requiring a trip to Double-A Somerset or Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
'I don't like to do rehab assignments. I've never really been a fan of it,' said Chisholm, who had taken rehab assignments with the Marlins.
On Tuesday, manager Aaron Boone said Chisholm will 'probably' need a trip to an affiliate, but he was not yet sure.
'I would think whether it's a game, whether it's a game or two, we'll probably do something,' Boone said before the Yankees beat the Rangers in the series opener in The Bronx. 'But it's not something we've talked about really yet.'

Chisholm, who is asymptomatic, spent part of his downtime teaming up with the NYPD Sports Unit for the inaugural SBH Health System baseball camp for children.
'To me it's all about giving to the kids,' said Chisholm, who gifted tickets to Tuesday's game to kids from the Cardinal Hayes baseball team. 'For me, the importance of me being here today is showing kids from The Bronx that I want to be a part of their community.'

Aaron Judge injury update: Yankees predicted to see .336 hitter return to right field soon
Aaron Judge injury update: Yankees predicted to see .336 hitter return to right field soon originally appeared on The Sporting News The New York Yankees have had Aaron Judge's bat in the lineup since coming off the IL on August 5, but they've been missing his glove and all-league throwing arm in the short porch in right field. That will soon change, according to Randy Miller. Miller reports Judge's return to the field could come this weekend for a three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Field. 'Since Judge's return from the injured list last Tuesday in Texas, he's batting .211 with no homers and two RBI in six games,' Miller wrote. 'Is Judge's flexor strain in his throwing elbow still a problem? 'It's not affecting his hitting, the Yankees have been saying. 'Judge's throwing program is progressing well, too … so well that he might be back in right field by this weekend in St. Louis after only DHing since coming off the IL.' Yankees hitting coach James Rowson didn't sound overly convinced Judge would continue his struggles at the plate since his return. 'He's up there getting his timing back, getting his tempo back, and each day, he's just getting a little bit closer to getting to that spot,' Rowson told The New York Post before Judge went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and two strikeouts during the Yankees' 6-2 win over the Twins on Monday. 'You do have those times where maybe it's not going the way you want it and you're not winning consistently so you're trying to do a little too much. But I don't really anticipate where he's at lasting too long. I think he's gonna start having the good at-bats that we expect and start getting back to where he normally goes.' We'll see how long it takes Judge to get back up to speed in the outfield, probably starting this weekend.

Liberty vs. Sparks odds, predictions: WNBA picks, best bets Tuesday
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. The Liberty are in a funk that goes well beyond a championship hangover. They are short-handed and lack the defensive intensity to instill any fear in opponents. After starting the season 9-0, the Liberty are just 11-11 since. The Liberty just got smoked, 83-71, at home by the Lynx, even though Minnesota was playing without MVP favorite Napheesa Collier. The Liberty now hit the road and visit the Los Angeles Sparks as two-point favorites with a total of 175 points at FanDuel. The Sparks are fighting for their playoff lives and consequently playing much better lately, having won nine of their past 11 games. Plus, Cameron Brink recently returned from injury to help stabilize their defensive front line. This is when the Liberty desperately need Sabrina Ionescu to lead the team. With former MVP Breanna Stewart still sidelined with injury, Ionescu is their best player and offensive focal point. Rae Burrell #12 of the Los Angeles Sparks. Getty Images The sharpshooter has been held below 17 points in three straight games, while shooting a combined 11-of-40 from the field. The Liberty still managed to win two of those three games, but she knows her role. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps The Sparks are the perfect opponent for her to face. They push tempo, which is why this game has such a high total, and they lack the wing defenders to limit her. She should have open looks all day. I have a 60-48-1 ATS record in this Post sports section, and my next play is Ionescu Over 20.5 points (-102, FanDuel) Why Trust New York Post Betting Doug Kezirian is a New York Post contributor who has over two decades of experience in the betting space, including spending 11 years at ESPN as a host, columnist and betting analyst.
