Yankees' Chisholm Exits Game with Right Flank Discomfort

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Tuesday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles after experiencing right flank discomfort during his first-inning at-bat. Chisholm appeared to injure himself while swinging but remained in the game long enough to hit a double and advance to third on an error before being replaced by pinch-runner Oswald Peraza. His exit came during a strong offensive start for the Yankees, who hit four home runs in the first inning. Chisholm, in his first full season with the Yankees, is batting .181 with seven home runs and 17 RBIs over 30 games. The team has not yet provided details on the severity of his injury, but if he misses significant time, playing opportunities at second base could increase for Oswaldo Cabrera, Peraza, or Pablo Reyes. DJ LeMahieu, currently rehabbing from injuries, received a cortisone injection as a precaution and may also factor into future infield decisions.
