Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. ejected for second time this season after arguing strike call
CINCINNATI (AP) — Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected for the second time this season for arguing a called strike.
Chisholm was ejected before the bottom of the ninth inning of Tuesday night's 5-4, 11-inning loss to the Cincinnati Reds by plate umpire Mark Wegner after a pitch from Lyon Richardson that Chisholm thought was low in the zone on a 2-0 count was called a strike in the top half.
Chisholm struck out and continued arguing after leaving the batter's box. Yankees captain Aaron Judge walked out together as Chisholm went to third base for the bottom of the ninth.
Chisholm was still talking — he said it was to himself. Wegner held a hand up, as if to say enough, then ejected Chisholm.
'I looked at him and I said, 'Why are you looking at me?' And that's when I got tossed,' Chisholm said. 'I didn't get tossed for saying nothing crazy. I didn't get tossed saying, 'Oh, that was a bad pitch,' I got tossed for saying, 'Why are you looking at me?' I don't think that's a good reason to toss anybody.'
Chisholm was ejected from the a 6-3 victory over Tampa Bay on April 17 for arguing a called third strike by John Bacon. The following day, Chisholm was suspended for one game and fined by Major League Baseball, which cited his conduct and violation of MLB's social media policy when he posted in-game criticism online. The suspension was later dropped.
Chisholm said he needed to do a better job of controlling his emotions.
'That's why I'm upset because I wasn't talking to you (the umpire). I didn't even have nothing to say to you because I know if I had something to say you I was going to get tossed,' he said.
Manager Aaron Boone came out to try and held Chisholm back from Wegner.
'Obviously Jazz didn't like the 2-0 call, some words at home played within the at-bat, and then Jazz went out and says he wasn't saying anything to Mark Wegner. And Mark was looking down at him and ends up running them. Not a great situation,' Boone said.
The ejection meant Oswald Peraza moved to third base and DJ LeMahieu came in to play second base.
The Yankees have dropped the first two games of the series against the Reds and lost for the ninth time in 12 games. New York (45-34) has seen its lead in the AL East over Tampa Bay cut to one game.
'We have to play better. We have a lot of winners in the clubhouse. You guys asked the same question last year. We have to figure it out,' Aaron Judge said.

Yankees Urged To Reunite With $67 Million Pitcher In 'Emergency Trade'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees need to add a starting pitcher this season. The Bronx Bombers have fought injuries with Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt, both of whom are out for the season. Luis Gil has battled a lat strain for the entire season, too. Now, Max Fried is battling a bit of a blister problem. While these blisters are never massive issues, they tend to nag longer than teams would want. With that in mind, the Yankees need to make a trade in the coming weeks. FanSided's Jake Elman recently urged the Yankees to pursue a trade for disgruntled Athletics pitcher Luis Severino in a reunion that would likely leave fans split. SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 11: Luis Severino #40 of the Athletics pitches in the top of the first inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Sutter Health Park on July 11, 2025 in Sacramento, California.... SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 11: Luis Severino #40 of the Athletics pitches in the top of the first inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Sutter Health Park on July 11, 2025 in Sacramento, California. More Justine Willard/Athletics/Getty Images "The time has come to bring Severino back to New York — and to be clear, we mean the Bronx," Elman wrote. "Although Severino also makes sense for the crosstown Mets, whom he pitched for last season, we think the Yankees must pursue a reunion with their former ace. "The 31-year-old Severino cashed in last offseason, signing a three-year, $67 million deal with the lowly Athletics. However, Severino all but officially requested a trade last month, citing his frustrations pitching at Sutter Health Park. Indeed, the two-time All-Star is 0-9 with a 6.68 ERA in 12 home starts, and 2-2 with a 3.04 ERA over eight road starts." Severino is a classic change of scenery candidate. He struggles at home and dominates on the road. The righty has also shown how disgruntled he is with the team. But the Yankees might not be desperate enough to reunite with their former starter. New York let him go for a reason, and it isn't likely the front office will want to bring him back. It's much more likely that the Yankees look to add a different starting pitcher this month.

St. Louis Cardinals All-Stars: Building the Best Cardinals All-Time Lineup
Bob Gibson's magic from the mound. Ozzie Smith vaulting and back-flipping his way onto the field. And Albert Pujols' homers that seemingly sailed past the Gateaway Arch. Behind only the Yankees in terms of World Series titles, the St. Louis Cardinals are among baseball's royalty. No shortage of iconic players that have soared higher than those birds on the bat. Manager: Tony La Russa The last two Cardinals' championships came with La Russa in the dugout, where he resided from 1996-2011. Under La Russa, the Cardinals went a combined 1,408-1,182, winning three National League pennants and two championships. The 2011 World Series triumph was La Russa's last season with the Cardinals, with whom his 1,408 managerial wins rank first in franchise history. Starting pitcher: Bob Gibson Few players mean as much to a franchise as Gibson does to the Cardinals. Spending his entire career in St. Louis (1959-75), Gibson was a pillar for two World Series rotations in 1964 and 1967, winning MVP honors in both series. Gibson is among the best pitchers to ever take the mound. He made nine postseason starts for the Cardinals, posting a 1.89 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 92 strikeouts, which is already amazing on its own. What else is amazing? Gibson pitched a complete game in eight of those nine starts, with the one that he didn't being an eight-inning start. Gibson, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, nine-time Gold Glover and nine-time All-Star, is first in Cardinals history with 3,251 wins, 3,117 strikeouts, 255 complete games, 56 shutouts, 3,884.1 innings pitched and an 81.7 WAR among pitchers. Reliever/closer: Jason Isringhausen The Cardinals brought in Isringhausen to beef up their bullpen in 2002, and he ended up being exactly what they needed. Across his first six seasons in St. Louis (2002-07), Isringhausen posted a combined 2.66 ERA and averaged 34 saves per season, which included recording an NL-high 47 saves in 2004 and earning an All-Star honor in 2005. Isringhausen is first in Cardinals history with 217 saves in the uniform. Catcher: Yadier Molina Molina is one of the best catchers in MLB history, and he spent his entire career with the Cardinals (2004-22). While stellar behind the plate, Molina was also one of the better hitting catchers, as he not only hit for contact but possessed a great deal of power from the right side, too. A nine-time Gold Glover and 10-time All-Star, Molina was behind the plate for both of the Cardinals' 2006 and 2011 World Series runs, posting a .358/.424/.547 slash line in the 2006 postseason. Molina is second in Cardinals history with a 27.6 defensive WAR, third with both 2,168 hits and 7,817 at-bats, fourth with 408 doubles, sixth with 1,022 RBIs and ninth with 176 home runs. 1B: Albert Pujols It's difficult to find players who were more intimidating in the batter's box than Pujols, who spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Cardinals (2001-11). The man was a menace. In each of his first 10 seasons, Pujols totaled 30-plus home runs and 100-plus RBIs, which included winning the 2003 batting title, claiming three NL MVP awards, leading the NL in WAR six times, slugging percentage three times and home runs twice. Over 11 years, Pujols averaged 40 home runs and 121 RBIs per season and was phenomenal at the plate in both of the Cardinals' World Series runs in 2006 and 2011, with him totaling five home runs and 16 RBIs and posting a .353/.463/.691 slash line in the 2011 postseason. Pujols, who spent his final MLB season back in St. Louis (2022), is second in Cardinals history with 469 home runs, 1,397 RBIs and a .614 slugging percentage, third with both 1,333 runs scored and an 88.7 WAR and fourth with 2,156 hits. In total, Pujols is fourth in MLB history with 703 career home runs. 2B: Rogers Hornsby At the peak of his powers, Hornsby, who was part of the Cardinals' 1926 championship team, could go toe-to-toe with any hitter in MLB history. Hornsby, who spent the first 12 seasons of his career at St. Louis (1915-26) — and briefly returned in 1933 — hit for power, got on base like nobody's business and played all four infield positions, primarily second base. He won six consecutive batting titles (1920-25), won the 1925 NL MVP Award, led the NL in both hits and RBIs four times apiece, home runs twice, and led the NL in both on-base percentage and slugging percentage in each of the six years that he won a batting title with the Cardinals. Hornsby is second in Cardinals history with a .359 batting average, a .427 on-base percentage and a 91.5 WAR, fourth with 1,089 runs scored, tied for fourth with a .568 slugging percentage and is fifth with both 2,110 hits and 1,072 RBIs. Oh, and Hornsby managed the team from 1925-26. 3B: Ken Boyer Boyer spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Cardinals (1955-65), helping them win the 1964 World Series. The third baseman was a consistent source of power for the Cardinals' offense and a reliable presence at the hot corner, with accolades featuring the 1964 NL MVP award, five Gold Gloves and 11 All-Star nods in St. Louis. Boyer is third in Cardinals history with 255 home runs, fifth with a 58.1 WAR, seventh with both 1,001 RBIs and 3,011 total bases, eighth with 988 runs scored and ninth with 1,855 hits. SS: Ozzie Smith The Cardinals acquired Smith from the San Diego Padres for the 1982 season, and little did anybody know what the middle infielder was getting into. In Smith's first season with the Cardinals, he held down shortstop and hit .303 in the postseason on a St. Louis team that went on to win the World Series. The infielder then continued to blossom, turning into one of the best fielders and overall shortstops of all time, while being a steady, contact hitter who wreaked havoc on the basepaths. Smith earned 12 Gold Gloves and 14 All-Star nods with the Cardinals from 1982-96. Smith is first in Cardinals history with a 35.2 defensive WAR, third with 433 stolen bases, fourth with a 66.0 overall WAR, seventh with 991 runs scored and eighth with 1,944 hits. OF: Stan Musial Few people hit a baseball more than Stan Musial. In fact, only three people have more hits than Musial, as he's fourth in MLB history with 3,630 career hits. An All-Star in all but his first two seasons of a storybook 22-year career spent entirely in St. Louis (1941-44, 1946-63), Musial has an argument for being the best Cardinals player of all time. The outfielder was one of the most complete hitters the game has ever seen, hitting for both contact and power, rarely striking out and being part of three Cardinals' World Series teams (1942, 1944 and 1946). He won seven batting titles, while winning three NL MVP awards, leading the NL in doubles eight times and hits six times. Musial is first in Cardinals history with 3,630 hits, 475 home runs, 1,951 RBIs, 1,949 runs scored, 6,134 total bases and a 128.6 WAR, sixth with a .331 batting average and is tied for sixth with a .559 slugging percentage. OF: Jim Edmonds After seven impactful seasons with the Angels, Edmonds was traded to the Cardinals in 2000 and had arguably the best run of his career. From 2000-05, Edmonds averaged 35 home runs and 98 RBIs per season, while posting a combined .584 slugging percentage. Part of the team's 2006 championship run — and driving in 10 runs in the 2006 postseason — Edmonds consistently provided the Cardinals with a lethal, left-handed bat, while patrolling center field. Across his eight seasons in St. Louis (2000-07), Edmonds earned six Gold Gloves and three All-Star honors. Edmonds is fourth in Cardinals history with 241 home runs and seventh with a .555 slugging percentage. OF: Lou Brock The Cardinals acquired Brock from the Chicago Cubs during the 1964 season, and it panned out quite well for the red birds. Upon joining the Cardinals, Brock cemented himself as one of the best hitters in the sport, consistently getting on base by means of contact hitting and, once he got on the basepaths, swiping bags left and right. Brock led the NL in stolen bases eight times, including 118 stolen bases in 1974, and posted a combined .297 batting average across his 16 seasons with the Cardinals (1964-79), with whom he was a six-time All-Star and won two championships (1964 and 1967). Furthermore, Brock had a career .391 postseason batting average. Brock is first in Cardinals history with 888 stolen bases, second with 2,713 hits and 1,427 runs scored, third with 3,776 total bases and tied for ninth with a 41.7 WAR. DH: Ray Lankford Lankford was a consistent source of power for the Cardinals in the 1990s, playing for the franchise from 1990-2001 and then again in 2004. An All-Star in 1997, Lankford provided considerable power from the left side and was a problem on the basepaths for opposing teams. The outfielder led the NL with 15 triples in just his second season (1991), stole 42-plus bags in back-to-back seasons (1991-92) and totaled 31 home runs in back-to-back seasons (1997-98). Lankford is fifth in Cardinals history with 228 career home runs, eighth with 250 stolen bases, ninth with 928 runs scored and 10th with 829 RBIs.

Yankees Draft Picks Turn Heads as Anthony Volpe Sees Career Crater
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Since the retirement of their iconic team captain Derek Jeter in 2014 — following a 20-year, Hall of Fame career that included 14 All-Star selections, four Gold Gloves, eight 200-hit seasons and most importantly five World Series rings — the New York Yankees have been searching for a shortstop to take his place. In the ensuing decade, the Yankees have cycled through at least 18 pretenders to Jeter's legacy. Yankee fans will recall such illustrious names as Didi Gregorious, Marwin Gonzalez, Stephen Drew and Adeiny Hechaverria all being penciled into the six-hole at various times by Yankees managers. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 16: Anthony Volpe #11 of the New York Yankees reacts after grounding out during the eleventh inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium on June 16, 2025... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 16: Anthony Volpe #11 of the New York Yankees reacts after grounding out during the eleventh inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium on June 16, 2025 in the Bronx borough of New York City. The Angels won 1-0. MoreBut there was hope for another franchise icon in the form of Anthony Volpe, the Yankees' 2020 first-round draft pick. Volpe was a local kid, drafted out of Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey, who came with an international pedigree, winning a gold medal with the Team USA Under-18 squad at the 2018 Pan-American Games in Panama. When he made his big league debut in 2023, Volpe was tagged "the spiritual successor" to Jeter. But since then things have not worked out the way Volpe, or the Yankees and their fans, would have envisioned. In his 2 1/2 major league seasons Volpe has not posted an OPS over .700. In fact, his meager .671 at the All-Star break this year would be a career high. He has not enjoyed a multi-hit game since June 21, and though he won a Gold Glove in his rookie season, his 11 errors in 95 games are the most in MLB (tied with two other players). In Sunday's 60th annual MLB draft, the Yankees appeared to express exactly how little confidence they have in Volpe by using their only two picks on Day 1 on two shortstops. Yankees are taking shortstop Dax Kilby with their first-round pick — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) July 14, 2025 With their first pick, No. 39 overall — they lost their first-round pick at No. 29 because they exceeded the luxury tax limit — the Yankees selected Dax Kilby, an 18-year-old shortstop from Newnan High School in Newman, Georgia. Kilby is committed to play baseball at Clemson, so New York will hope that the $2.5 million bonus slotted for the 39th pick will be enough to lure him away from college. MLB Pipeline describes the teenage shortstop as "one of the more polished high school bats available," noting that "Kilby has a track record of producing against quality competition on the showcase circuit." The Yankees also gave up their second-round slot by signing free agent pitcher Max Fried in the offseason, so their next pick did not arrive until late in the third round, at No. 103. The New York Yankees select Kaeden Kent with the 103rd pick of the MLB Draft. A guy who had a knack for coming up with a clutch hit, he authored one of the most memorable moments in Texas A&M sports history in the 2024 Super Regionals versus Oregon. — Ryan Brauninger (@R_Brauninger) July 14, 2025 They used that one on another shortstop, Kaeden Kent — son of former major leaguer and five-time All-Star Jeff Kent — out of Texas A&M. Yankees domestic amateur scouting director Damon Oppenheimer called the lefty-swinging 21-year-old, "athletic, and can really play shortstop." Of course, even the best prospects generally take at least a year or two to reach the big league level, if they ever do, so neither of the two shortstops taken by the Yankees on Sunday immediately threatens Volpe's job. But in 2023, the Yankees had a first-round pick, at No. 26, and used it on yet another high school shortstop, George Lombard Jr., who quickly became the No. 1 ranked prospect in the Yankees' farm system. So Volpe's days may indeed be numbered if he doesn't take his performance to a new level in the second half of the season.
