Jazz Chisholm Jr. Leaves Early on Monday With Apparent Head Injury
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (head) is leaving Monday's game early against the visiting Detroit Tigers after colliding with outfielder Jasson Dominguez in the fourth inning in the Bronx, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Chisholm took an elbow to the head and was being checked for a concussion by the medical staff. Before being replaced at second base by Oswaldo Cabrera, Chisholm went 0-for-1 at the plate with a strikeout. Fantasy managers should check back later on Monday evening to see if Chisholm passed through the league's concussion protocol. If not, there's a good chance he'll land on the seven-day concussion injured list. The two-time All-Star came into Monday's series opener against Detroit with just a .223 batting average (63-for-283), but he also has 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 24 stolen bases, and 42 runs scored in his 80 games and 320 plate appearances as one of the most valuable players eligible at the second base position in fantasy baseball. If Chisholm is forced to miss additional time, veteran Amed Rosario could see more playing time at the keystone in addition to Cabrera. UPDATE: According to the Yankees, Chisholm was examined by Dr. Christopher Ahmad and is currently in the concussion protocol.
