MLB investigating after Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr., Braves assistant coach get into it after relaying signs
Chisholm and Pérez were spotted getting into it during the Yankees' 12-9 win over the Braves on Saturday night in Atlanta after Chisholm was spotted relaying signs from second base. Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe hit a sacrifice fly deep into the outfield after Chisholm relayed that a fastball was coming in the sixth inning.
Chisholm was seen telling Pérez to 'cry about it,' before brushing him off on the base.
Pérez was spotted pointing to his head in the dugout, which some have taken to mean he was threatening to have Chisholm hit by a pitch later in the game.
'I hope it didn't [have to do with throwing at his head], because obviously there's no place for that,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday morning at Truist Park, via The Athletic. 'That's certainly something that would not be OK. I hope he didn't mean anything like that by it, because that would deserve some looking into.'
Chisholm declined to comment. It's unclear what punishment the league will hand down from its investigation, if any.
While it clearly upset the Braves, relaying signs the way that Chisholm did is not against MLB rules. That's perfectly legal, so long as it's done without the use of electronic communications. Saturday's incident was the second time this month that the Yankees have been caught relaying signs, something that Boone doesn't seem to mind.
'Look, every team now, from the start of the year to the end, you're trying to find little advantages out there,' Boone said. 'You're trying to find little ways to help you win a ballgame. So that's all within the parameters of the rules.
'Every team we play against is no different, and we're not, either. You're constantly trying to find advantages where you can and where they present themselves in a certain game, and that's all good.'
After their win on Saturday night, the Yankees picked up a 4-2 win over the Braves on Sunday afternoon to wrap up the three-game series. Chisholm had two hits and an RBI on Sunday, too. The Yankees now sit at 55-44 on the season, while the Braves dropped to 43-54.

Cowboys VP makes odd comment regarding Micah Parsons contract situation
Former Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons is currently in the middle of the NFL's most notable contract dispute with his current team, the Dallas Cowboys. Parsons has shown up to training camp instead of holding out, but the two sides still appear to be at odds on coming to an agreement on a new contract. And some of the recent comments coming out of the Cowboys front office suggest we are not about to get much closer anytime too soon. Speaking to some members of the media during a training camp practice over the weekend, Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones made a comment that could be interpreted as the team is not going to budge on whatever offer is currently on the table for Parsons. "We want to pay Micah too," Jones said. "He's got to want to be paid." For his part, Parsons has always shown he is committed to working things out with the Cowboys and taking the steps necessary to show he can be relied on as a leader of the team, especially on defense. Parsons has made his presence known in workouts and his decision to show up for training camp rather than holding out is his way of showing the team he is there to work no matter what. But recent contract extensions around the league for some of the top edge rushers in the game have continued to raise the bar for what Parsons could expect to earn. T.J. Watt recently signed an extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers for four years and $150 million. Many NFL experts believe Parsons will get more on a new deal. Parsons is entering his fifth season in the NFL and will do so on a club option for $24 million this fall. Follow Kevin McGuire on Threads, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

Patriots 53-man roster projection: Where do things stand after the first week of camp?
After four days of practice at the New England Patriots' training camp, it's about time for pads to come on. This week, we'll learn a lot more about the offensive line, which has shown some reasons for concern, even if it's tough to judge the group sans pads. Still, there has been enough to glean from the first few sun-soaked practices to offer up our first roster projection of the summer. There were some particularly tough decisions at running back (do you keep a fullback?), wide receiver (who has justified a spot so far?) and linebacker (has Marte Mapu done enough?). Advertisement Let's dive in. In: Drake Maye, Joshua Dobbs Out: Ben Wooldridge No surprises here. It would be a surprise if they kept Wooldridge on the 53-man roster. He's just competing for a spot on the practice squad at this point. So far, it seems like there's been a governor placed on Maye as the new staff prioritizes having him take what the defense gives, even if that's (often) short passes to running backs and tight ends. The question will be when (or if) that changes. The fear is that the O-line is so shaky that the offense has to be based on short passes. In: Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Antonio Gibson, Lan Larison Out: Brock Lampe, Trayveon Williams, Terrell Jennings A lot of the Patriots' offense so far looks like what you'd expect from a Josh McDaniels-led unit. Maye has been under center a lot. Two tight ends have been used frequently, even with Austin Hooper out. I wanted to put Lampe on the roster as a fullback to bulk up those big formations. But there are too many tough decisions, so Lampe narrowly missed out. In: Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, CJ Dippre Out: Jaheim Bell, Jack Westover, Gee Scott Jr. There has been a lot of work to go around at tight end with Hooper out. In those sessions, Westover has probably fared the best. But this is a bet that Dippre, an undrafted rookie, can develop. This could also be a position where the Pats look to add someone in free agency after cutdown day when they see who becomes available. In: Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, Kayshon Boutte Out: Kendrick Bourne, Efton Chism, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker, DeMeer Blankumsee, John Jiles, Jeremiah Webb No surprise, but this is the toughest position to project for the Patriots. They could keep as many as seven, with two of Bourne, Chism, Polk and Baker making it. But it's hard for me to put Polk on the roster since he hasn't practiced yet. Same for Chism, who hasn't quite matched his production from the spring, and Bourne, who has been just OK in a group of just-OK receivers. Still, Bourne was probably my last player cut in this projection, and maybe I should have put him on with one fewer linebacker. At the top of the depth chart, Diggs and Douglas have both been excellent, while the Patriots could use another receiver separating from the pack. .@DrakeMaye2 🎯 @popshotta3 — New England Patriots (@Patriots) July 26, 2025 In: Will Campbell, Cole Strange, Garrett Bradbury, Mike Onwenu, Morgan Moses, Jared Wilson, Demontrey Jacobs, Caedan Wallace, Marcus Bryant, Tyrese Robinson Out: Vederian Lowe, Sidy Sow, Jack Conley, Layden Robinson, Ben Brown, Yasir Durant, Mehki Butler There were some tough decisions here, too. So far, it looks like Jacobs is the swing tackle, with Wallace getting some work inside and Lowe being injured. So that gets Jacobs on the team. Advertisement The bigger question comes at backup guard. Wallace working there complicates things and could be a sign of what the coaching staff thinks of Sow and Robinson. In: Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, Keion White, Khyiris Tonga, Joshua Farmer, Jaquelin Roy, Harold Landry, Anfernee Jennings, K'Lavon Chaisson, Bradyn Swinson Out: Jeremiah Pharms Jr., Elijah Ponder, Jahvaree Ritzie, Isaiah Iton, David Olajiga, Truman Jones The interior of the defensive line looks solid with Williams and Barmore, plus Tonga getting plenty of meaningful reps. The edge rushers are the ones who could make or break this defense. White and Landry are probably the top guys, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Chaisson keeps playing well and pushes for playing time. In: Robert Spillane, Christian Elliss, Jahlani Tavai, Jack Gibbens, Marte Mapu Out: Cam Riley, Monty Rice This group might be a bit bloated, but this is an important spot for special teams contributions, so we kept five instead of another receiver (Bourne). Still, Mapu would be the one to swap out for Bourne if you want more help at receiver. Mapu has spent most of his time at linebacker after being a hybrid safety/linebacker the last two years. He was beaten cleanly by Henderson during one rep at practice on Saturday. As for the top group, Elliss is pushing to get the starting reps alongside Spillane. In: Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis III, Marcus Jones, Alex Austin, Kobee Minor Out: Isaiah Bolden, Brandon Crossley, Marcellas Dial, DJ James, Miles Battle, Jordan Polk Another cornerback would be nice on this roster, but it would have to come at the expense of someone on the D-line. The battle for the fifth spot here is wide open. Bolden could nab it if he can become the team's kick or punt returner, but for now, I have Henderson as the kick returner with Jones returning punts. Advertisement In: Kyle Dugger, Jabrill Peppers, Craig Woodson, Jaylinn Hawkins, Marcus Epps Out: Dell Pettus, Josh Minkins This is probably the team's best overall position for a third straight year, especially if Dugger can return to his heights of 2023. He'll be a starter next to Peppers, but Woodson, Epps and Hawkins provide plenty of high-end depth and should also contribute on special teams. In: Andy Borregales, Bryce Baringer, Julian Ashby, Brendan Schooler Out: John Parker Romo It would be a big surprise if Romo wins the kicking job, so this quartet seems pretty safe.
