Jazz Chisholm injured in collision with Jasson Dominguez on fly ball

NEW YORK – A brutal stretch became even worse for the Yankees early Monday night.

>Already trailing 7-0 in the fourth inning to the Detroit Tigers, second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was forced out of the game due to a collision in shallow right field.

>In pursuit of Hao-Yu Lee’s pop fly, caught by Dominguez, the right side of Chisholm’s head struck Dominguez’s extended left arm.

>Chisholm stayed on the ground for a few minutes as the Yankees’ athletic training staff attended to him and eventually helped him to his feet and off the field.

>

>Defensively, Oswaldo Cabrera replaced Chisholm at second base. Chisholm was presumably being tested for a concussion.

>Earlier in the inning, Chisholm banged his left knee and writhed in pain for a bit, limping around after Kevin McGonigle took second base on a throw home after his two-run single.

>On Sunday night, Chisholm was ejected by plate umpire Todd Tichenor for throwing his helmet after disputing a swinging third strike in the sixth inning of the Yanks' eventual 10-inning loss at Boston.

>That completed a four-game sweep by the Red Sox, and the Yanks arrived home in second place, with seven losses in their last nine games.

>Chisholm was 0-for-1 with a strikeout against Detroit starter Casey Mize on Monday. Across 25 games in June, Chisholm is batting .177 (14-for-79) with six homers and 10 stolen bases in 11 attempts.
