Summary
Fourth-inning pain forced Jazz Chisholm Jr. out of the Yankees' game Thursday after a foul ball bounced off the dirt and struck him in the groin, with trainers attending to him on the field.
Anthony Volpe replaced Chisholm in the lineup, signaling the injury was serious enough that he could not quickly return.
49 recent games had marked a turnaround for Chisholm, who rebounded from a .164 average and .498 OPS over his first 21 games to hit .254 with an .811 OPS.
New York's injury list already includes Aaron Judge with a broken rib, Giancarlo Stanton with a calf issue, Trent Grisham on the injured list and Max Fried sidelined.
The Yankees still sit first in the AL East by 3.0 games, but Chisholm's exit adds to mounting strain on a roster already missing several key players.
