On August 12, 2026, the New York Yankees suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Toronto Blue Jays, marking an inconsistent performance by their star player, Jazz Chisholm Jr. Chisholm, who had only managed one hit across four at-bats, now stands at a 5-for-35 season batting average. During the game, an embarrassing mix-up occurred when Chisholm failed to keep track of the number of outs in the inning.
With two outs and a Yankees player hitting the ball, Chisholm did not react promptly, allowing the Blue Jays to secure the catch and stop the inning. This is not the first time Chisholm has struggled with out-tracking while on the base paths this season. Fans on social media expressed their disappointment with the former All-Star, questioning the team's decision to continue his involvement.
Chisholm himself has admitted to his ongoing struggles, stating that he is still making contact with the ball but it is often resulting in outs or grounders right at defenders.
