Overview

• Manager Aaron Boone started Amed Rosario at second base, citing Crochet’s dominance of left-handed hitters and Rosario’s prior success against him.
• Chisholm said Boone texted him the night before about the decision and he appeared surprised, giving brief answers with his back to reporters after the 3-1 defeat.
• Used late as a defensive replacement, Chisholm pinch hit with the bases loaded in the ninth against Aroldis Chapman and flew out to right.
• Boone said Chisholm’s recent forearm hit-by-pitch was not a factor and that the 30–30 standout was physically fine despite weaker splits against lefties.
• Aaron Judge said any outside drama would be handled internally, and local reports expect Chisholm to be in the lineup against right-hander Brayan Bello in Game 2.
