yankees jazz chisholm jr suspended 1 game following ejection violation of social media policy

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.

Chisholm appealed, delaying any penalties until after a resolution. He started at second base in New York's 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay on Friday night, going 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.

Chisholm was ejected in the seventh inning on Thursday night by plate umpire John Bacon when Chisholm argued after a called third strike on a full-count pitch from Mason Montgomery that appeared low. It was his fifth career ejection and first with the Yankees.

Chisholm then posted on his X account, "Not even ... close!!!!!" with a profanity mixed in, then deleted the post.
