Yankees INF Jazz Chisholm Jr. to begin rehab assignment
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. will play in a minor league rehab game with Double-A Somerset on Thursday.
Chisholm will bat leadoff and play third base, which may indicate where the Yankees will use the 27-year-old All-Star when he returns to the big leagues.
Chisholm has been sidelined since late April with a strained right oblique. Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted that the team will consider playing Chisholm at the hot corner while with New York. He could be activated as soon as next week, per MLB.com.
"I want him to work over there this week and in his games over there, keep that flexibility," Boone said Wednesday. "Then we'll make a decision one way or the other."
Chisholm mostly played third base when the Yankees acquired him from Miami last summer, but he moved back to his natural position of second base after Gleyber Torres left in free agency.
While Chisholm has been sidelined, the Yankees regained infielder DJ LeMahieu from the IL but lost third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera (left ankle fracture) for the season.
For his career, Chisholm has played second base in 196 of 479 games and in center field for 192 games. All 45 appearances at third occurred with the Yankees in 2024.

Family of teen arrested on his way to volleyball practice asks immigration officials to release him
The family of an 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student arrested on his way to volleyball practice pleaded with immigration officials to release him Wednesday. 'I love my son. We need Marcelo back home. It's no family without him,' João Paulo Gomes Pereira said in a video released by his son's attorney. 'We love America. Please, bring my son back.' Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who came to the U.S. from Brazil at age 7, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Saturday. Authorities have said the agents were looking for the teenager's father, who owns the car Gomes da Silva was driving at the time. 'Like any local law enforcement officer, if you encounter someone that has a warrant or … he's here illegally, we will take action on it,' Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told reporters Monday. Gomes da Silva initially entered the country on a visitor visa and was later issued a student visa that has since lapsed, said his attorney, Robin Nice. She described him as deeply rooted in his community and a dedicated member of both the Milford High School marching band and a band at his church. 'The actions by ICE do not make the community safer,' she said in a statement. 'They just sow fear through the immigrant community.' A federal judge considering Gomes da Silva's request to be released while the immigration case proceeds has given the government until June 16 to respond and has ordered that Gomes da Silva not be moved out of Massachusetts without 48 hours' notice given to the court. A hearing in immigration court is scheduled for Thursday. U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said ICE officers were targeting a 'known public safety threat' and that Gomes da Silva's father 'has a habit of reckless driving at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour through residential areas.' 'While ICE officers never intended to apprehend Gomes da Silva, he was found to be in the United States illegally and subject to removal proceedings, so officers made the arrest,' she said in a statement. The video released Wednesday shows Gomes da Silva's parents and younger siblings in the teen's bedroom. His sister describes watching movies with her brother and enjoying food he cooks for her, including 'chicken nuggets in the air fryer.' 'I miss everything about him,' she said. 'When he gets back, I will give him a really big hug,' Gomes da Silva's younger brother says. 'But ICE, please get him out. Please.' The arrest has sparked outrage among Democratic officials, including Gov. Maura Healey, who demanded information about his location and whether he is being afforded due process. 'They need to let him go,' Healey said in a video posted Tuesday on the social platform X. 'Marcelo belongs in school, not in a detention center.' Other supporters wore white and packed the stands of the high school gymnasium Tuesday night, when the volleyball team dedicated a match to their missing teammate. "We will continue to pray and fight for our brother,' the team said in an Instagram post ahead of the match.

ICE operation calls for 5,000 federal agents and 21,000 National Guard troops to make deportation arrests
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has launched the Trump administration's largest deportation crackdown yet, calling for more than 5,000 federal agents and 21,000 National Guard troops to join the arrest effort, according to a report. 'Operation at Large' calls for 3,000 ICE agents, 2,000 Justice Department employees, including from the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency, 500 Customs and Border Protection staff, and 250 from the IRS, NBC News reports. It follows a 'tense' meeting with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller last month, where he reportedly 'berated' staff and threatened to fire ICE field office leaders who are in the lowest 10 percent of monthly arrest numbers, according to the outlet. The 21,000 National Guard members the administration wants to support ICE have not yet been approved by the Defense Department, NBC reports. Deploying those officials has been 'a source of tension' among some, according to the outlet, who 'feel they have been taken off other core national security missions.' At a meeting in mid-May, Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded immigration agents significantly increase daily arrests to 3,000. Miller, President Donald Trump 's top adviser and architect of the administration's aggressive immigration policies, and Noem told agents they needed to up daily arrests and deportations during the meeting at ICE's headquarters in Washington, D.C. on May 21, according to Axios. The figure is approximately triple the number of daily arrests that ICE agents were making at the beginning of the Trump administration, the outlet noted. While Noem took a 'milder approach' during the meeting, Miller adopted a 'harsh' tone with agents and 'had people leaving the meeting feeling their jobs could be in jeopardy if the new targets aren't reached,' Axios previously reported. Responding to the latest claims about Miller's threats, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told The Independen t: 'Keeping President Trump's promise to deport illegal aliens is something the Administration takes seriously.' 'We are committed to aggressively and efficiently removing illegal aliens from the United States, and ensuring our law enforcement officers have the resources necessary to do so,' she added.
