TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was suspended for one game and fined by Major League Baseball on Friday following his ejection during a game at the Tampa Bay Rays and violation of MLB’s social media policy.
MLB senior vice president of on-field operations Michael Hill announced the decision.
If Chisholm appeals, the penalties would be held off pending a resolution.
Chisholm was ejected in the seventh inning on Thursday night in the seventh inning by plate umpire John Bacon when Chisholm argued after a called third strike on a full-count pitch from Mason Montgomery that appeared low.
