MLB investigating after Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr., Braves assistant coach get into it after relaying signs
Major League Baseball is investigating an incident between New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Atlanta Braves assistant coach Eddie Pérez on Saturday night, according to The Athletic. Chisholm and Pérez were spotted getting into it during the Yankees' 12-9 win over the Braves on Saturday night in Atlanta after Chisholm was spotted relaying signs from second base. Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe hit a sacrifice fly deep into the outfield after Chisholm relayed that a fastball was coming in the sixth inning. Chisholm was seen telling Pérez to 'cry about it,' before brushing him off on the base. Pérez was spotted pointing to his head in the dugout, which some have taken to mean he was threatening to have Chisholm hit by a pitch later in the game. '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, via The Athletic. '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.' Chisholm declined to comment. It's unclear what punishment the league will hand down from its investigation, if any. While it clearly upset the Braves, relaying signs the way that Chisholm did is not against MLB rules. That's perfectly legal, so long as it's done without the use of electronic communications. Saturday's incident was the second time this month that the Yankees have been caught relaying signs, something that Boone doesn't seem to mind. '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.' After their win on Saturday night, the Yankees picked up a 4-2 win over the Braves on Sunday afternoon to wrap up the three-game series. Chisholm had two hits and an RBI on Sunday, too. The Yankees now sit at 55-44 on the season, while the Braves dropped to 43-54.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr gets into shouting match with Braves' third base coach
New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Atlanta Braves third base coach Eddie Perez had words with each other during the teams' matchup on Saturday night. 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. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. offers no comment regarding heated exchange during game at Atlanta
ATLANTA – Jazz Chisholm Jr. might have misinterpreted a gesture from Atlanta Braves coach Eddie Perez during their animated exchange across the field Saturday at Truist Park. But there was no question that the Yankees' second baseman was set off by Perez, who pointed to his own head while yelling in Chisholm's direction in scenes caught by YES Network cameras. After the Yankees' wild, 12-9 comeback win, Chisholm said he had no comment about the sixth inning situation that seemed to be related to sign-stealing by the Yankees. Perez told Mark Bowman that he witnessed Chisholm relaying signs at second base during the Yanks' four-run inning and that – in pointing to his own head - Perez was telling Chisholm to 'think'' about his actions. It wasn't a suggestion that the Braves would throw at Chisholm's head, Perez told Bowman, who quoted the Braves coach saying of Chisholm: 'I like that kid.'' While on third base, an agitated Chisholm gave a 'keep talking'' gesture while Yanks' third base coach Luis Rojas tried to calm the situation. Later in the Yankees dugout, Chisholm repeatedly pointed at his own head in response to Perez, doing so while shouting and standing next to Yankees captain Aaron Judge. Asked about what was going on with Chisholm and the Braves dugout, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he wasn't entirely sure. But he didn't dismiss it as a threat to throw at Chisholm's head. 'I know they were saying some things that will probably be looked at and should be,'' said Boone. 'I don't know exactly what was said, but they were talking about stuff like that, yeah.'' Chisholm batted twice after his sixth-inning RBI single without incident, flying out and lining out. During their last homestand, the Yankees were seen as rather unsubtly relaying signs from the bases to their hitters, having apparently caught a tip in Seattle closer Andres Munoz's pitches.
