Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Leaves; Scans Initially Negative

Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Saturday’s Yankees–Orioles game after being struck on the left forearm by a 96.8–97 mph sinker from Orioles pitcher Grant Wolfram; José Caballero replaced him as a pinch-runner and defensive replacement. Team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad oversaw X‑rays and a CT scan at Yankee Stadium that initially returned negative, and the club called the early signs encouraging while continuing to monitor Chisholm. He had earlier taken a hard fall on a leaping play but remained in the game until the hit-by-pitch. Chisholm is a key bat for New York after recording his first 30‑30 season (31 homers, 31 steals) while batting .243. The Yankees have won six straight and enter the regular-season finale tied with the Toronto Blue Jays atop the AL East, and the team noted position depth (including Caballero and Anthony Volpe) to cover second base if needed.
