NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the New York Yankees was hit on the left forearm by a 96.8 mph pitch from Baltimore’s Grant Wolfram in the fifth inning Saturday and immediately left the game.
Chisholm, in considerable pain, went directly to the dugout and was pinch run for by José Caballero.
New York said initial X-rays were negative and that Chisholm will have a CT scan.
Yankees starter Cam Schlittler had hit Jeremiah Jackson and Coby Mayo in the top of the inning. None of the hit batters appeared to be intentional.
Chisholm earned his second All-Star selection this year and is hitting .243 with 31 homers and 80 RBIs, both career highs. He between April 29 and June 3 by a strained right oblique.
After starting the season at third base, Chisholm moved to second when he returned from the IL.
