Jazz Chisholm Benched and Facing Uncertain Future After Yankees Sweep

Pending free agent Jazz Chisholm Jr. was benched for ALDS Game 3 after a poor Game 2. He entered as a pinch-hitter, popping out and hitting into a fielder's choice in a 4-3 sweep loss. Chisholm hit .231 with 19 home runs and 41 steals in 137 games, followed by a disappointing postseason. Despite a maddeningly inconsistent tenure marked by a thumb injury and defensive struggles, the 28-year-old infielder expressed his desire to return to the Yankees next season.
