Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Undergoes MRI for Oblique Discomfort

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited Tuesday's game against the Orioles after experiencing discomfort in his right oblique during his first at-bat, though he managed to hit a double before being replaced by a pinch runner. Chisholm has downplayed the severity of the injury, expressing confidence that it is not a serious oblique tear and stating he would rather take a few days off than risk a long-term absence. Despite his optimism, manager Aaron Boone has taken a more cautious approach, confirming Chisholm will undergo an MRI in New York to determine the extent of the injury and whether an injured list stint is necessary. Boone emphasized that while Chisholm appears to be in good spirits, there is definite concern about the oblique. The Yankees, already dealing with other infield injuries, are hoping for a positive outcome from the MRI given Chisholm's importance to the roster. The team is prioritizing caution to avoid aggravating the injury further.
