Jazz Chisholm Jr. might be a little sore.
The New York Yankees second baseman had found his rhythm after early season struggles, but now he might not have any kind of rhythm.
Chisholm’s night was cut short in the fourth inning Thursday after he fouled on a pitch that hit his man zone.

He committed a foul that hit the dirt surrounding home plate and bounced directly toward him. After the ball made contact, he collapsed and was treated by trainers while clearly in serious pain.
The injury apparently wasn’t resolved quickly, as Anthony Volpe took his place in the lineup.
In his first 21 games, Chisholm struggled after boldly claiming to have hit 50 home runs and stolen 50 bases, batting .164 with a .498 OPS and zero home runs.
But over his last 49 games, while 50-50 might be a long way off, he’s hitting .254 with an .811 OPS, both of which are above his career numbers and extremely similar to last year’s .242/.813.

The Yankees have been hit by the injury bug this season, as Aaron Judge is out with a broken rib and Giancarlo Stanton “re-injured” a nagging calf recently. Trent Grisham was also placed on the injured list, while Cy Young candidate Max Fried is also on the list.
However, the team has more than been able to stay afloat without them and is in first place in the American League East by 3.0 games.
The Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Guardians and Seattle Mariners are the only American League teams above .500, so New York has been able to take advantage.
