Overview

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected in the seventh inning of Thursday’s Yankees-Rays game for arguing a called third strike deemed low by many observers.
  • Shortly after being ejected, Chisholm violated MLB’s social media policy by posting a profanity-laced critique of the umpire on X, which he later deleted.
  • MLB announced a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for Chisholm on Friday, citing violations of electronic device and umpire respect policies.
  • Chisholm is appealing the suspension, allowing him to remain in the Yankees’ lineup for Friday’s game against the Rays.
  • The incident marks Chisholm’s fifth career ejection and highlights MLB’s emphasis on professional decorum and adherence to league regulations.
