Jazz Chisholm Jr. Exits After Hit by Pitch, X-Rays Negative
Jazz Chisholm Jr. (forearm) exited the team's 6-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday after a hit by pitch on his left forearm. Initial X-rays came back negative, but Chisholm still has to undergo a CT scan. The Yankees brought in Jose Caballero to run for Chisholm in the fifth inning after he finished the day 0-for-2. For now, it appears that Chisholm avoided a significant injury. If that proves to be the case, it'll be a major sigh of relief for the Yankees as the postseason approaches. Thanks in part to a career year from Chisholm, the club has already clinched a playoff berth and remains in contention for an American League East title. The 27-year-old, who became a member of the 30-30 club this season, has slashed .243/.333/.482 with 31 homers, 31 stolen bases, 80 RBI, and 75 runs scored in 530 plate appearances. Update: Chisholm's CT scan was negative, the Yankees announced.
