Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr gets into shouting match with Braves' third base coach
The YES Network broadcast showed Chisholm yelling over toward the Braves' dugout as he stood on third base in the top of the sixth inning. Chisholm appeared to be telling Perez to "cry about it." Perez appeared to signal that Chisholm was going to get hit in the head the next time the batting order came around.
"I hope so," Chisholm replied.
The issue between Chisholm and Perez may have stemmed from the coach getting upset that the star infielder was giving Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe signals during his at-bat. Chisholm was standing at second base and started touching his chest within Volpe's eyesight.
Perez told reporters after the game he saw Chisholm giving the signals and denied that he was threatening to have someone hit him in the head, rather he tried to tell him to "think," according to the New York Post.
"I'm not entirely sure (what was going on)," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the game. "I know they were saying some things that will probably be looked at and should be."
Chisholm declined to comment.
The Yankees put together a comeback win after being down 7-2 heading into the sixth inning. New York came back to tie the game at eight apiece in the eighth inning. Then, Trent Grisham hit a go-ahead grand slam to push New York ahead in the ninth. It was Grisham's 17th dinger of the year.
New York won the game 12-9.
New York improved to 54-44 on the year and Atlanta fell to 43-54.

América and LAFC reportedly extend Javairo Dilrosun's loan one more day so he can play against Portland Timbers on Friday
Has scored two goals in five appearances for LAFC Not part of Club América's future plans, the club wants to sell him LAFC reportedly interested in extending his loan WHAT HAPPENED? Dutch winger Javairo Dilrosun will reportedly remain with LAFC for an extra day after the MLS club reached an agreement with Club América, allowing him to feature in this Friday's match against the Portland Timbers. According to Tom Bogert, he will be eligible for the match, but his future is still to be determined with the club. THE BIGGER PICTURE According to ESPN, América are looking to sell Dilrosun during the current transfer window to free up a foreign player slot - key to André Jardine's plans for a new signing in the coming weeks. However, LAFC is also exploring the possibility of keeping the Dutchman on loan for a longer spell. Dilrosun is under contract with América through December 2026, but the Mexican club is working to terminate the deal early. In seven MLS appearances, he has scored twice, including a crucial goal in the 'El Tráfico' derby against the LA Galaxy. According to other reports, Dilrosun could also be included as part of a potential deal that would bring LAFC star Denis Bouanga to América. DID YOU KNOW? In just five MLS appearances, Dilrosun has already scored twice - a notable contrast to his time at Club América, where he managed just three goals across 52 matches. His early form with LAFC has certainly been a bright spot. WHAT NEXT FOR LOS ANGELES FC? Steve Cherundolo's team currently sits fifth in the Western Conference with 36 points. While the futures of Bouanga and Dilrosun are still being decided, both players are expected to feature in Friday's away match against the Portland Timbers.

Kyrie Irving defends Lakers legend Kobe Bryant's legacy amid recent criticism
Kobe Bryant is widely considered one of the greatest players to ever pick up a basketball. There has been a recent shift in the discourse around him, however, as media members have attempted to tear down the Los Angeles Lakers legend's legacy. While the five-time NBA champion is unfortunately no longer here to defend his legacy, there have been countless of former teammates and opponents who have not tolerated the disrespect. Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving was the latest player to speak out on Bryant's behalf. "I'm not letting people come on and talk about Kobe like Kobe wasn't one of the best that not only played, but that came in as a 17-year-old against grown men," Nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving stated. "And by the time this man was 22 years old, he had a few championships and he was busting the best of the best (expletive). If y'all don't knock that (expletive) off. I'm talking to y'all at home, the (expletive) media talking heads, the ones that casually, casually throw names around. Bro, if you don't knock it off. You weren't like that." Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp "It's okay," Irving continued. "Not everybody can be Kobe. Not everybody could sit and wear those size shoes that he had. I'm not going down into detail about this because what's said on the internet and digital space is said. It's the internet. But when it comes to real respect and real recognizing real, this man Kobe Bean Bryant -- he's immortalized not just because of his basketball." "That's what I'm trying to tell y'all," Irving added. "He is way bigger because of his character, because of what we witnessed him go through. We didn't care about certain failures. The real Kobe fans didn't care about the failures. They didn't care about the naysayers. The real Kobe fans, the real Mamba fans that I'm talking to, didn't care about who he was competing with. We knew who (expletive) with Kobe and who didn't. I know who (expletive) with Kobe and who didn't." Bryant was often compared to Michael Jordan during his playing career, with many outlets claiming that the Chicago Bulls legend was the only player he trailed on the all-time list. There has been a push as of late to attempt to claim that he is outside of the top-five -- and in some cases, outside of the top-ten -- leading to pushback from his peers. The media's disrespect to the Lakers legend is nothing new. While he was often considered the best player in the league during his illustrious 20-year career, he won just one MVP award. Bryant passed away in 2020 and was posthumously inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball of Fame in his first year of eligibility. More NBA:
