Jazz Chisholm Jr. is in concussion protocol after a collision that added another tough moment to a rough Yankees stretch.
The New York second baseman left Monday’s loss to the Detroit Tigers after running into teammate Jasson Domínguez while both went after a pop fly in the fourth inning. Chisholm was charging in, Domínguez came in from right field, and Domínguez ended up securing the out while catching Chisholm in the process.
After being checked by trainers, Chisholm was able to walk off on his own. Oswaldo Cabrera took his place.
"Obviously, we're playing the infield in, so it's a little bit in that no-man's land," manager Aaron Boone said postgame, according to Adam Zagoria of NJ.com. "I think JD called it late, I don't know if (Chisholm) didn't hear. I haven't gone there with Jazz yet."
The Yankees did not have any additional update on Chisholm after the game.
"It was really unfortunate," Domínguez said, per SNY. "...
I called it, but obviously I don't call it louder enough. But really unfortunate what happened."
For Chisholm, the collision comes during a bizarre run of headlines over the past month. He was ejected from Sunday’s game in Boston after arguing a called third strike. Last week, he also went viral and briefly annoyed his manager after eating a lollipop on the field, coming just days after he said publicly that he won’t wear a cup even after fouling a ball off his groin.
The timing is brutal for New York, which is already dealing with a long injury list. Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Trent Grisham and Max Fried are all out, and third baseman Ryan McMahon has also missed time with a throat infection over the past week.
The Yankees fell to Detroit, 7-3, for their fifth straight loss and their ninth in the last 12 games. New York managed only three hits against Tigers starter Casey Mize and two relievers, and it marked the first time the franchise has been held to three or fewer hits in four straight games, according to YES Network and Talkin' Yanks.

Knicks Just Made A Surprising Ariel Hukporti Decision
Ariel Hukportis first full look with the Knicks gave the team a chance to evaluate him across a long regular season, and the early returns were modest. He appeared in 54 games in 2025-26, averaging 2.2 points and 2.9 rebounds, and his role never grew into something that clearly locked him in as part of the clubs long-term center picture.
Now his future is suddenly up in the air, with New York leaving him in restricted free agency and signaling that it may be weighing other answers behind Karl-Anthony Towns. The Knicks could still bring Hukporti back if the market is quiet enough, but for now the sense is that the front office is looking around for a different backup option and keeping its plans fluid.

Knicks May Already Have A Fallback Plan If Their Center Walks
The Knicks center situation could take a familiar turn in free agency, with the possibility of Mitchell Robinson becoming too expensive to retain if salary-cap realities get tight. Brooklyns interest in Robinson adds another wrinkle, and it has already pushed New York to think about a veteran backup plan if the market moves faster than expected.
Brook Lopez is the name that keeps surfacing in that conversation, though his path to availability still depends on what happens with his current team option. Even after a season in which some of his production dipped, Lopez would give New York a proven interior presence and a stretch-big skill set that could let the club manage his workload rather than lean on him for heavy minutes.

Knicks Just Added Another Worry To Their Shaky Center Picture
The Knicks center situation got a little murkier this week as the front office continues to sort through a roster squeezed by salary-cap realities. Ariel Hukporti is now part of that picture after the team moved on from his qualifying offer, a decision that leaves New York with another open question in the middle even as it keeps weighing its options for next season.
Mitchell Robinsons future is already uncertain, so the Knicks are hardly operating with much clarity at the position. With that backdrop, it is no surprise they are being linked to veteran possibilities such as Kevon Looney and Jock Landale, the kind of pragmatic names that suggest the team is trying to preserve flexibility while still finding someone reliable enough to stabilize the frontcourt.
