  "account": "The Yankees activated second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday after a brief stint with a sprained right thumb. Chisholm had missed 12 games following an injury during a slide at second base while attempting to stretch a single in the eighth inning of a September 10 win against the Colorado Rockies. He was tagged out by Ezequiel Tovar, who hit his thumb against the shortstop's cleat. Chisholm, who is eligible for free agency after the season, had been batting sixth and playing second base during his absence. Before getting hurt, he had been performing well, batting .391 with 19 home runs and 55 RBIs in 134 games, and also leading the team with 40 stolen bases in 49 attempts. In Chisholm's place, Anthony Volpe started at second base and made a strong return to the majors with a grand slam and five RBIs in his first nine games since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. Volpe has hit .263 with two homers and 26 RBIs in 11 games since his promotion. Manager Aaron Boone expressed his appreciation for Volpe's performance but was looking forward to having Chisholm back in the lineup. To make room for Chisholm on the roster, Max Schuemann was optioned to the Futures Club Yankees. Schuemann, who has been with the Yankees three times, is hitting .194 with two homers and eight RBIs in 43 games across his stints.",
