NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Sunday’s 6-1 loss against the Minnesota Twins after the fifth inning because of right big toe discomfort.
It the same toe on which he underwent surgery in October of 2023 with the Marlins and Chisholm was examined by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and X-rays were negative. He will get re-evaluated before the opener of a four-game series at Tampa Bay on Monday.
“It has sometimes come back, a little bit of throbbing and stuff in there” Chisholm said. “When you kind of aggravate it, you don’t move the same way sometimes.”
Chisholm fouled off a pitch from Joe Ryan in the fifth and winced on the swing. After taking a timeout, Chisholm hit a fly ball to right field on the next pitch.
Chisholm singled in the second inning and manager Aaron Boone said he stumbled while getting was picked off during a rundown on the next pitch during an at-bat by Max Schuemann.
“It was kind of where he stumbled on the caught stealing,” Boone said. “He kind of lost his step a little bit. He’s had kind a nagging thing with that throughout. It’s the toe he had surgery on a few years ago but he’s doing all right."
José Caballero moved over from third base to second and Amed Rosario entered the game at third base.
An All-Star last year, Chisholm is batting .225 with 12 homers and 33 RBIs in 85 games this season. In 2025, Chisholm hit .242 with career highs of 31 homers and 80 RBIs along with 31 stolen bases in 130 games.
On Monday, he exited New York’s 7-3 loss to Detroit following a collision with right fielder Jasson Domínguez on a high pop-up by Hao-Yu Lee in the fourth inning. He also fouled a ball off his groin area in a 5-1 loss to the White Sox on June 18.
