New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. had to leave Tuesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles early due to injury.
Chisholm felt discomfort following his swing during his first at-bat. Yankees manager Aaron Boone and the training staff checked on Chisholm and discussed the issue with him. The 27-year-old opted to remain in the game and later doubled off Orioles starter Kyle Gibson.
Chisholm advanced to third base due to an error by Baltimore right fielder Ramón Laureano. However, he was soon removed from the game and replaced by pinch-runner Oswald Peraza.

The reason for Chisholm's departure was reported to be right flank discomfort.
After the game, Chisholm said he was not too concerned about the injury.
“I mean, it is in the flank – it really is in my flank. If you look at a cow, that’s their oblique, I guess. … I went and looked it up, and I was like, ‘Yeah, I can use that.’”
However, Boone said Chisholm would undergo an MRI.
Following Chisholm's exit, Peraza scored on Anthony Volpe’s RBI double, giving the Yankees a 5-0 lead to end the first inning.
The Yankees' offense delivered a dominant performance, ultimately securing a 15-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s suspension dropped
On April 17, Jazz Chisholm was ejected against the Tampa Bay Rays after arguing with plate umpire John Bacon over a full-count pitch that was called strike three. Following the ejection, Chisholm posted on social media:
“Not even f****** close!!!”
He was suspended the next day for the ejection and for violating MLB’s social media policy. After the game, Chisholm addressed the incident, saying (via AP News):
"I didn’t think before I had anything that I said was ejectable but after probably. I’m a competitor, so when I go out there and I feel like I’m right and you’re saying something to me that I think doesn’t make sense, I’m going to get fired up and be upset."
On Sunday, the league announced that the suspension had been dropped, though the fine remained in place.
