CLEVELAND – Jazz Chisholm Jr. has given up on his body this season to make some sparkly plays in defense.
On Monday night, he bailed a soft liner hit to 2 base as there was something more about how to get out of the corner of his eye: a broken bat.
The play turned into a Brayan Rocchio RBI single in a 6-4 defeat to the Yankees’ progressive field guardian, but Chisholm wasn’t the second guess he himself.
“That’s tough,” he said.
“I want to do all the play there for my man, but I don’t want to die at the same time. You want to exchange sharp objects. I’ve seen guys get stabbed directly with broken bats, so I know how bad the injury is.
Chisholm talks about his experience of being attacked by a calf by a broken bat while playing shortstop in High A.
He also said he saw it happen to other fielders when he was with the Marlins.
A similar play took place in Tampa this weekend. Judge Aaron slammed the grounder of the broken bat into 3 bases, and Rays’ junior Kaminero didn’t field it because shrapnel of wood was flying down his path.
“That’s why I’m a little more careful about chasing the ball when the bat is in the same lane,” said Chisholm, who later crushed Homer, the seventh of the season.
The call didn’t end as Judge Aaron received the credit on his eighth home run.
But other than that, Aaron Boone appeared to be grateful for the call Monday with MLB Senior Vice President Michael Hill.
“[Hill] “Hey, that was a tough call,” Boone said on Progressive Field before opening a series with the Guardians. I just said it was a difficult call and I think it was obviously my guess. ”
Boone said on Sunday that the call to the field has not been overturned, “The boldness of the call standing is amazing.”

However, after reviewing all the relevant angles, the replayer could not clearly determine that the ball had left the arena on fair territory.
There was no shortage of cameras due to the rays playing at Yankees’ spring training home. Sources said the stadium’s camera array is comparable to other venues, including high frame rates.
The judge pointed out a shorter foul pole that did not help the judge decide fair or foul properly on the field, but it was not immediately clear whether the issue could be addressed at Steinbrenner Field.
In the interim, Boone praised Hill for hearing him.
“Mike is incredible,” Boone said. “I try to be respectful even when I get a little hot. But he’s really good at giving you a forum and floor to talk to and talk to. He’ll give you a thought back.”
The Yankees initially thought that Marcus Stroman could quickly return.
However, 10 days after his final start, Stroman still experiences some issues with his left knee, and doesn’t sound particularly like he’s coming back.
“He still feels some things there, so he’s not. “Because he still feels some things there.”
Stroman’s placement on the 15-day injury list with knee inflammation coincided with Clark Schmidt’s return from IL, so the Yankees did not have to fill in the spinning hole.
But their depth, beyond their current five starters, is unstable. And that’s what Carlos Carrasco is trying to prove that he’s at least in enough tanks to bring the Yankees to June.
Stroman, 33, who earns $18.5 million this season, has a $18 million vesting option for 2026 that triggers when he pitches 140 innings this season.
“I know there’s probably something nervous there that was probably a bit of a nervous thing that was stimulating it,” Boone said. “We will continue to try and try to get him physically where he needs him and hopefully start backing up him.”
Ben Rice (Elbow Conteuse) was out of the lineup for his second straight game, but he practiced batting on the field and got a pinch hit in nine innings and grounded against Cade Smith. Boone said he hopes to get the food back to the lineup on Tuesday.
“He had a good day,” Boone said. However, he practiced batting in the cage early Monday afternoon and then hit more in the field pre-game. He was expected to be available from the bench and was able to return to the lineup before the series ended.
Red-hot Trent Grisham was on his father’s list on Monday, and infielder Jorviv Bibas was called out by Triple A. Scranton/Wilkes Barre to call him to take the place on his roster until he returns (it may be late on Friday).
Grisham left and Rice still came out, and the judge won for the second day in a row with DH, with Pablo Reyes drawing the start on the right field.
DJ lemahieu (Calf Co.) will begin rehabilitation allocations at Double A Somerset on Tuesday. …Jonathan Loáisiga (Elbow Surgery) is scheduled to hold another live batting practice session on Wednesday before beginning his rehabilitation assignments in Single A Tampa on Saturday. …Boone said Giancarlo Stanton (tennis elbow) has begun running, but he’s still just pounding the trajectory pitching machine.
