Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. Clears CT Scan After 97 MPH HBP to Forearm

The All-Star second baseman is day to day as the team prioritizes postseason health.

Overview

  • Chisholm was struck on the left forearm by a 96.8–97 mph sinker from Orioles left-hander Grant Wolfram in the fifth inning at Yankee Stadium.
  • He left the game in visible pain, and José Caballero pinch-ran and took over at second base.
  • Initial X-rays were negative, and a subsequent CT scan also came back negative following evaluation by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said early signs were good and indicated the ball hit the meat of Chisholm’s forearm, with the club continuing to monitor him.
  • The Yankees have clinched a playoff spot and entered Saturday tied for the AL East lead, so his status for the regular-season finale remains undecided.
