Overview

• Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited Tuesday’s 10–2 win at Kauffman Stadium in the seventh inning with neck tightness after a hard tag from Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia
• He departed Wednesday’s contest in the fifth inning due to groin tightness following a double and stretch at third base
• Chisholm reignited a rivalry dating to the 2024 ALDS by warning Garcia he would “smack the f--- outta him” if tagged similarly again
• Garcia downplayed the threat as “just talk” and said he was “waiting for it” after reviewing video of Chisholm’s comments
• Yankees medical staff are closely monitoring Chisholm’s recovery after he missed all of May with an oblique strain
