The New York Yankees lost 2-1 to the Chicago White Sox in extra innings at Rate Field on Wednesday.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. left the game with an apparent leg injury, according to The Athletic’s Brendan Kuty.
Chisholm limped back to his team’s dugout after grounding out in the ninth inning. He initially remained in the game, but the Yankees removed him for a pinch runner after Chicago intentionally walked him in the 11th inning.
After the loss, Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided an update on Chisholm.

Yankees fans are certainly relieved that Chisholm isn’t dealing with anything more serious. The club is already playing without stars Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger due to injuries.
