New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Monday night's game in the top of the fourth inning after an ugly collision with left fielder Jasson Dominguez. Chisholm and Dominguez were both chasing after a shallow fly ball when Dominguez's elbow caught Chisholm in the chin. There was no immediate update from the Yankees on Chisholm's condition.
The Tigers were leading 7-0 at Yankee Stadium when Chisholm exited.

Oswaldo Cabrera came in to replace Chisholm.
It's been a rough 24 hours for Chisholm. He was ejected Sunday for arguing a check-swing call against the Red Sox and then left without talking to reporters. Before Monday night's game, Chisholm told the YES Network he had to be a better teammate.
Chisholm, who has been vocal about wanting an extension from the Yankees, has not played well enough for them to seriously enter the conversation. He was hitting .229 with a .318 on-base percentage, nine home runs and 29 RBIs across 274 plate appearances.
He does have 20 stolen bases.
A play later, Dominguez crashed into the left-field wall and was slow to get up, holding his right rib cage.
The Yankees were swept in four games at the Red Sox over the weekend.
