NEW YORK — Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was placed on the 15-day injured list because of a strained right oblique after getting hurt during a swing in a game at the Baltimore Orioles.
Chisholm grabbed at his side after fouling off a first pitch from Kyle Gibson during the first inning, took a ball and then stepped out of the batter’s box to stretch the side, prompting manager Aaron Boone and and athletic trainer to come out and speak with him.
Chisholm remained in the game, doubled into the right-field corner on the next pitch and when the ball was bobbled headed to third and slid in headfirst.
