Yankees Announce Jazz Chisholm Jr. News After Leaving Royals Game
Yankees Announce Jazz Chisholm Jr. News After Leaving Royals Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s tenure with the team has been the epitome of a mixed bag since it acquired him last summer. The 27-year-old slashed .273/.325/.500 with 11 homers and 23 RBI over 46 games to finish out the regular season, but slashed just .182/.250/.309 with two homers and two RBI over 14 playoff contests.

Chisholm's struggles continued this season, as he slashed .151/.279/.312 in April before he went down with an oblique injury. However, he was a different player when he came back, as he slashed .381/.391/.667 in June ahead of Tuesday's game vs. the Kansas City Royals.
Chisholm left the contest in the seventh inning, via The New York Post's Greg Joyce.

"Jazz Chisholm Jr. is out of the game, with Oswald Peraza replacing him at 3B for the bottom of the seventh," Joyce initially reported. "Possible it's just because of the 10-2 lead, but Chisholm was shaken up earlier on the dive into third."
While New York did have a sizable advantage at the time of Chisholm's departure, the Yankees later announced he left the game with neck tightness (via Newsday's Erik Boland).
The Arizona Diamondbacks signed Chisholm as an international free agent in July 2015 before trading him to the Miami Marlins in July 2019. The 5-foot-11-inch, 184-pounder got called up in 2020 and played just three total playoff games with the Marlins before they dealt him to New York.
