There are a few points during each season when it seems like the New York Yankees just can\u2019t stop getting injured. Right now is definitely one of those times. Jazz Chisholm Jr.,<\/a> who was also just ejected from a game against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, entered concussion protocol following Monday\u2019s loss to the Detroit Tigers. The injury stemmed from a hard collision with Jasson Dom\u00ednguez<\/a>, who was coming in for a pop-up in shallow right field. However, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic<\/em>, Chisholm will be available off the bench for Tuesday night’s game against the Tigers, despite entering concussion protocol less than 24 hours ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Available Off Bench for Yankees<\/h2>\n

Chisholm isn\u2019t even the best (or second-best) player that the Yankees are missing right now thanks to injuries: Aaron Judge<\/a>, Max Fried<\/a>, Giancarlo Stanton<\/a>, Trent Grisham<\/a>, and Ryan McMahon<\/a> have all gone on the injured list<\/a> within the last six or so weeks. The Yankees’ summer slump<\/a> has continued with no end in sight. Their record in June is now under .500 after their aforementioned 7-3 loss on Monday, a game in which their only scoring came on a three-run home run from Amed Rosario<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
