Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Joins Exclusive 30-30 Club Amid Injury Challenges

Jazz Chisholm Jr. has become the third player in New York Yankees history to reach the 30-30 club, achieving at least 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a single season, joining Bobby Bonds and Alfonso Soriano. He hit his 30th home run off Orioles reliever Dietrich Enns, marking a significant milestone despite the Yankees' 4-2 loss to Baltimore. Chisholm's achievement is notable given he missed significant playing time due to an oblique strain and groin injury, limiting his stolen base attempts for nearly two months. Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised Chisholm's resilience and performance, emphasizing the rarity and impressiveness of his 30-30 season under these conditions. Since joining the Yankees in 2024, Chisholm has become a key player, known for his versatility and energy, with aspirations of reaching the even rarer 40-40 club. His performance is a crucial factor in the Yankees' push for the postseason as they compete for the AL East title and wild-card positioning.
