He instantly dropped his bat and walked with his head down toward the Yankees\u2019 dugout, waving his arm in pain.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ODC5QT3MBRBKNNBANHV3UTLF5Y\">After a brief visit with a Yankees trainer on the top step, Chisholm disappeared down the steps into the Yankees\u2019 clubhouse. Speedster Jos\u00e9 Caballero jumped off the bench and entered the game in Chisholm\u2019s place, running at first base.<\/p>\n<p id=\"INPKNWU2JRDGNA2VUR4FJSAKHA\">Initial X-rays came back negative, according to the Yankees, although Chisholm will also have a CT scan.<\/p>\n<p id=\"GGCOVMWVMZGKTDKB2VEKQU54PE\">It goes without saying, but losing Chisholm at this stage of the year for any period of time would be a significant blow for this team. The star infielder is having a career year in the middle of the Yankees\u2019 lineup and is already the third player in franchise history to join the 30-homer, 30-steal club in a single season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"U7ML4JUK3FHULMDZG3DMPVB6PI\">This injury scare is another reason for the Yankees to try their best to win the American League East this weekend. They don\u2019t control their destiny, since the Blue Jays hold the tiebreaker, but defending their AL East crown would allow the Yankees to have a bye during the Wild Card Series. That would give Chisholm a few extra days to rest and recuperate ahead of the Division Series next weekend.<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":Rdoaq6:\">\u00a0<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suddenly, the Yankees have a new injury concern to a star in their lineup with one game remaining in the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":105031,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PLAYOFF ALERT: YANKEES HIT WITH INJURY CONCERN \u26be.
