Jazz Chisholm Returns to Yankees Lineup; Declines Protective Cup

Jazz Chisholm Jr. returned to the Yankees' lineup Friday against the Reds, starting at second base and batting fifth after recovering from a recent groin issue. Despite being hit in the groin by a foul ball on Thursday, Chisholm stated he does not plan to wear a protective cup moving forward. His return provides a boost to the lineup as discussions regarding his All-Star candidacy continue leading into the mid-season break.
