URGENT UPDATE: New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. left the game in the fifth inning after being struck on the left forearm by a blistering 96.8 mph pitch from Baltimore Orioles pitcher Grant Wolfram on July 15, 2023. Chisholm immediately exited the field, visibly in pain, and was replaced by pinch-runner José Caballero.
Initial X-rays on Chisholm’s injury were negative, but the team has confirmed he will undergo a CT scan for further evaluation. This injury raises concerns about the potential impact on his season, as the All-Star player has posted impressive numbers: a batting average of .243, 31 home runs, and 80 RBIs, all career highs.
Tensions flared earlier in the game when Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected after arguing a pair of called strikes against Aaron Judge. This marked Boone’s seventh ejection of the season, the highest among MLB managers, and the 46th of his managerial career.
The incident occurred during a heated match, highlighting the intensity of the rivalry. Chisholm, who had previously missed time this season due to a strained right oblique, now faces uncertainty as he aims to maintain his performance after returning to the field.
Fans and analysts alike are watching closely as the Yankees navigate this latest challenge. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops, particularly regarding the results of Chisholm’s CT scan. Stay tuned for more breaking news on this developing story.
