New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited Sunday's game in the fifth inning with right big toe discomfort, a development that compounds the team's ongoing slump.
The Yankees had already been shut out and entered the game having lost eight of their previous nine contests. The severity of Chisholm's injury remains unclear, with X-rays coming back negative. He is expected to be reassessed on Monday.
Chisholm was seen hobbling to first base after hitting a fly ball to right field in the bottom of the fifth. The ball was caught, and Chisholm proceeded slowly through the dugout. Manager Aaron Boone immediately conferred with him and motioned for Amed Rosario to enter the game at third base, shifting José Caballero to second base.
Earlier in the game, Chisholm experienced a notable mishap in the second inning. After winning a nine-pitch battle with Minnesota's Joe Ryan and hitting a single into right field, he was picked off at first base while adjusting his sliding glove. This incident marked one of the afternoon's low points for the Yankees.
