Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Exits Game With Bruised Knees vs Astros

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited Thursday night's game against the Houston Astros in the fourth inning due to bruises on both knees sustained on separate plays. The most notable injury occurred during a collision with Astros' Jose Altuve at second base, when Altuve's helmet struck Chisholm's left knee, causing him to leave the field gingerly. Despite the injury, Chisholm stayed in to bat in the fourth inning but struck out and then signaled from the dugout that he could no longer continue. He was replaced by José Caballero, who may see increased playing time if Chisholm's injuries persist. Chisholm had been performing well offensively recently, batting .288 with a 1.099 OPS and seven home runs in his last 15 games. The full extent of the injuries and the timeline for Chisholm's return remain unclear.
