MLB investigating incident between Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Braves coach: Source

New York Times7 days ago
ATLANTA — Major League Baseball is investigating Atlanta Braves assistant coach Eddie Pérez's actions after he pointed to his head during Saturday night's game while jawing with New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., a league source told The Athletic.
Pérez was upset that Chisholm was relaying signs from second base while shortstop Anthony Volpe was hitting in the sixth inning. Volpe hit a sacrifice fly to the warning track after Chisholm tipped off his teammate that a fastball was coming from Braves reliever Rafael Montero. MLB.com reported that Pérez was telling Chisholm to think about his actions; the Yankees believed the Braves coach may have been threatening Chisholm with getting plunked by a pitch.

'I hope it didn't (have to do with throwing at his head), because obviously there's no place for that,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday morning at Truist Park. 'That's certainly something that would not be OK. I hope he didn't mean anything like that by it, because that would deserve some looking into.'

This is the second time this month that the Yankees have been caught relaying signs from second base. It's legal to relay signs if it's done so without the use of electronic communications. The Yankees caught Seattle Mariners closer Andrés Muñoz tipping his slider in a comeback win earlier this month.
'Look, every team now, from the start of the year to the end, you're trying to find little advantages out there,' Boone said. 'You're trying to find little ways to help you win a ballgame. So that's all within the parameters of the rules.
'Every team we play against is no different, and we're not, either. You're constantly trying to find advantages where you can and where they present themselves in a certain game, and that's all good.'
Chisholm gave a 'no comment' when asked for his thoughts on the incident between himself and Pérez.

New York Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4

The New York Giants battled poor air quality and overcast skies on Sunday morning on Day 4 of their 2025 training camp. Regardless, they held practice outdoors. Here are some takeaways from Sunday's workout. Wilson is opening up the offense The Giants have been one of the NFL's least potent offenses the past two seasons. They signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, the NFL's most proficient deep thrower last year, to get their passing game back on track. It looks as if he's doing that after just one week. Wilson is going up top to all of his receivers these days, and his "moonball" has never looked better. "He looks 25 again" Not to make this all about Wilson, but he appears to be just what this sagging Giants offense needs. Not only is he reenergizing the passing game, but the 36-year-old is making plays with his legs, too. Holland the pirate Wilson didn't have his way with the Giants' secondary all day. They got their shots in as well. On this play, slot corner Dru Phillips deflects a Wilson pass into the hands of safety Jevon Holland, who returns it for a touchdown. The Giants' goal on defense this year is to focus on ball-hawking. So far, so good. Skattebo is gaining in popularity Looking for a player to root for this season? Look no further than rookie running back Cam Skattebo. He is a high-energy player who is already making his mark with the Giants as both a rusher and a receiver. The fans in attendance at camp are already taking to him. Abdul Carter is a menace The first full padded practice isn't until Monday, so we won't know exactly how good rookie linebacker Abdul Carter is. So far, he's been blowing by everyone. If he continues to do that when the hitting starts, the Giants have a monster in their midst. Dart's best day yet The Giants' other first-round pick, quarterback Jaxson Dart, is also heating up. On Sunday, he looked comfortable and in charge, hitting on several deep throws. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4

Cowboys sign tight end Jake Ferguson to a 4-year, $52 million extension

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension Sunday. The deal includes a $12 million signing bonus. A fourth-round pick in 2022, Ferguson is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He had 59 catches for 494 yards but did not have a touchdown reception last season. The previous year, he posted career highs with 71 catches for 761 yards and five TDs. Ferguson dealt with knee and concussion issues last year but still started 14 games. This deal comes as two-time All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons remains in negotiations for his own extension, entering the final season of his rookie deal. Parsons said recently he had not seen much progress in those talks. ___ AP NFL:
