Jazz Chisholm Just Tried to Tackle Jasson Domínguez... and Lost. At This Point, the Yankees Need Bubble Wrap, Not Baseballs

If you thought Jazz Chisholm Jr. already had enough drama this week, then congratulations because baseball just said, "Hold my beer."

Less than 24 hours after getting ejected against the Red Sox for treating his batting helmet like it owed him money, Jazz somehow managed to top himself Monday night against the Detroit Tigers.

This time, instead of fighting his helmet, he fought his own teammate.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Jazz and Jasson Domínguez both took off chasing a fly ball into shallow right field like two New Yorkers sprinting for the last bacon, egg, and cheese at the deli after a snowstorm.

Only one problem...nobody called for it, then BOOM! Domínguez made the catch, Jazz made contact with Domínguez, the baseball survived, then Jazz's brain said, "I'm gonna clock out for a few minutes."

He crashed to the ground and stayed there long enough for Yankees fans to stop breathing. Aaron Boone and the training staff came running out faster than Yankees fans race to X after David Bednar blows another save.

Thankfully, Jazz got up under his own power and walked off the field, but the Yankees later announced that he was examined by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and immediately entered concussion protocol.

That's absolutely the right move. Concussions are serious, and everyone should hope Jazz makes a full recovery before returning to the field. But if you're a Yankees fan, you have to be asking one question: Who cursed this baseball team?

Seriously. Aaron Judge gets hurt, the pitching staff has looked like a hospital waiting room for months, players can't stay healthy, now Jazz gets knocked out by his own teammate.

At this point, the Yankees don't need another bat at the trade deadline...They need an exorcist. Forget adding bullpen help. Call Ghostbusters.

This team has more collisions than the Long Island Expressway at rush hour. And let's be honest: Jazz has packed more headlines into the last 48 hours than most players do all season.

Sunday, he gets ejected after slamming his helmet into the dirt like it personally insulted his family.

Monday, he gets leveled by his own center fielder.

What's next? He's going to argue with the foul pole because it didn't move over enough?

As for his season, it's been a frustrating one. The two-time All-Star is hitting just .223 with 12 home runs, 33 RBIs and a .706 OPS. Those numbers are well below what both he and the Yankees expected, especially with free agency looming after the season.

Ironically, this has actually been one of Jazz's healthier seasons...until now.

The timing couldn't be much worse. The Yankees need his energy, his speed, and his athleticism if they're going to make a serious run in October. Hopefully this concussion protocol is simply precautionary, and Jazz is back on the field sooner rather than later. Because at the rate this season is going, the Yankees might have to start putting warning labels on their own outfielders.

"Caution: Teammates may be more dangerous than the opposing lineup."

Only the Yankees could turn catching a routine fly ball into a demolition derby.

Get well soon, Jazz.
