NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Monday night鈥檚 game against the Detroit Tigers following a violent collision with right fielder Jasson Dom铆nguez and was placed in concussion protocol.
With the Yankees down 7-0 in the fourth inning, Hao-Yu Lee hit a high popup to shallow right field. Chisholm ran back and attempted to make the catch but Dom铆nguez charged in and caught the ball as his glove struck Chisholm in the face.
鈥淚鈥檓 not sure exactly what happened,鈥� manager Aaron Boone said after a loss sent the Yankees to their fifth straight defeat. 鈥淥bviously we鈥檙e playing the infield in, so it鈥檚 a little bit that no-man鈥檚 land. I think JD called it late. I don鈥檛 know if he didn鈥檛 hear.鈥�
Chisholm immediately fell down on the grass and was on his back for several minutes as Boone and athletic trainer Tim Lentych checked on him. After a few minutes, Chisholm stood up and walked slowly off the field under his own power. He was replaced at second base by Oswaldo Cabrera.
鈥淚t was really unfortunate,鈥� Dom铆nguez said. 鈥淭hey were playing infield in. In my mind, I’ve got to go catch the ball. I called it, but obviously I didn’t call it loud enough. But really unfortunate what happened.鈥�
Dom铆nguez remained in the game and crashed hard into the outfield wall on the next play while catching Kerry Carpenter’s drive to end the fourth.
鈥淢y elbow kind of went into my belly,鈥� Dom铆nguez said. 鈥淚 was just out of breath. I’m OK.鈥�
Chisholm struck out in his only at-bat and is hitting .222 with 12 homers and 33 RBIs in 81 games this season.
He was Sunday night from by first base umpire Todd Tichenor when he spiked his helmet in the dirt behind home plate following a strikeout on a check-swing against Sonny Gray.
