Jazz Chisholm Jr. exits Yankees game with sore right thumb

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. departed Tuesday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies with a sore right thumb. Chisholm sustained the injury in the eighth inning while sliding headfirst into second base during an attempt to stretch a single into a double. Despite the injury, he remained in the game to field the first out of the ninth inning before being replaced defensively by Jose Caballero. Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated that medical testing may be required to determine the severity of the thumb injury. Chisholm finished the game 2-for-4, and the team secured a 5-3 victory at Yankee Stadium. Further evaluation is expected on Wednesday to determine his status for upcoming games.
