Jazz Chisholm Jr. exits game in first inning in Yankees injury worry

BALTIMORE — A first-inning offensive ambush Tuesday night became slightly less fun for the Yankees when Jazz Chisholm Jr. left the game with an injury.

Chisholm had appeared to tweak something on a swing during his at-bat, but after being checked on by Aaron Boone and a trainer — and twisting his core to try to stretch something out — he stayed in the game and hit the next pitch for a double into the right-field corner.

Jazz Chisholm left Tuesday’s Yankees game before the first inning was over.

But after Chisholm dove into third base after an error on the play, he came up gingerly and seconds later was walking back into the dugout for a pinch runner.

The Yankees had gone bombs away to start the frame, with Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge and Ben Rice hitting back-to-back-to-back homers off Kyle Gibson for a 3-0 lead five pitches into the game.

Cody Bellinger also homered before Chisholm stepped to the plate, and Oswald Peraza, who pinch-ran for him at third, came in to score on Anthony Volpe’s double for the 5-0 lead.
