Major League Baseball is investigating an incident between New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Atlanta Braves assistant coach Eddie P\u00e9rez on Saturday night, according to The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chisholm and P\u00e9rez were spotted getting into it during the Yankees\u2019 12-9 win over the Braves on Saturday night in Atlanta after Chisholm was spotted relaying signs from second base. Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe hit a sacrifice fly deep into the outfield after Chisholm apparently relayed that a fastball was coming in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

Chisholm was seen telling P\u00e9rez to \u201ccry about it,\u201d before brushing him off on the base.<\/p>\n

P\u00e9rez was spotted pointing to his head in the dugout, which some have taken to mean he was threatening to have Chisholm hit by a pitch later in the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope it didn\u2019t [have to do with throwing at his head], because obviously there\u2019s no place for that,\u201d Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday morning at Truist Park, via The Athletic. \u201cThat\u2019s certainly something that would not be OK. I hope he didn\u2019t mean anything like that by it, because that would deserve some looking into.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chisholm declined to comment. It\u2019s unclear what punishment the league will hand down from its investigation, if any.<\/p>\n

While it clearly upset the Braves, relaying signs the way that Chisholm did is not against MLB rules. That\u2019s perfectly legal, so long as it’s done without the use of electronic communications. Saturday\u2019s incident was the second time this month that the Yankees have been caught relaying signs, something that Boone doesn\u2019t seem to mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, every team now, from the start of the year to the end, you\u2019re trying to find little advantages out there,\u201d Boone said. \u201cYou\u2019re trying to find little ways to help you win a ballgame. So that\u2019s all within the parameters of the rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery team we play against is no different, and we\u2019re not, either. You\u2019re constantly trying to find advantages where you can and where they present themselves in a certain game, and that\u2019s all good.\u201d<\/p>\n

After their win on Saturday night, the Yankees picked up a 4-2 win over the Braves on Sunday afternoon to wrap up the three-game series. Chisholm had two hits and an RBI on Sunday. The Yankees now sit at 55-44 on the season, while the Braves dropped to 43-54.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Major League Baseball is investigating an incident between New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Atlanta Braves…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[6776,11000,4996,64,63,10999,9473,10998,5882,591,2704,85],"class_list":["post-9298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-aaron-boone","tag-anthony-volpe","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-eddie-perez","tag-jazz","tag-jazz-chisholm","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
