As the final weekend of April approaches, MLB fans are treated to a robust slate of games, with 12 matchups set to begin after 7:05 p.m. ET. For DFS enthusiasts, standout pitching options include Logan Gilbert of Seattle, who boasts impressive stats with a 2.22 FIP and 6.83 K/BB rate, and Luis Severino of the Athletics, who faces a struggling White Sox lineup. Seth Lugo of Kansas City also offers value against a power-deficient Astros team.

Top hitting targets this weekend feature Jazz Chisholm, who may be hitting .165 but has 7 home runs and 6 stolen bases this season, and Steven Kwan, who has shown newfound power this year. For those on a budget, Randy Arozarena of the Mariners presents an enticing option, especially in a favorable matchup against the Indians. Stacking opportunities arise with the Reds at Coors Field, where right-handed batters Matt McLain and Austin Hays could thrive against Kyle Freeland.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., the Yankees' second baseman, is appealing a one-game MLB suspension he received after being ejected for excessive arguing with umpire John Bacon. Chisholm, known for his outspoken nature, stated that he is willing to stand up for principles he believes in, specifically freedom of speech, regardless of the outcome of his appeal.

His suspension stemmed from a social media post he made immediately after being thrown out during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays, which violated MLB's social media policy. Chisholm noted that he deleted the post upon a friend's suggestion, but he feels that his conduct was justified given the circumstances of his ejection.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., the second baseman for the New York Yankees, has been suspended for one game and fined following an ejection during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The decision, announced by MLB's Michael Hill, stems from Chisholm's violation of the league's social media policy after he posted a comment deemed inappropriate following his ejection for arguing a called third strike. The post, which included profanity, was quickly deleted. Chisholm, known for his competitive nature, expressed regret for losing his cool and acknowledged the need to control his emotions better in the heat of the moment.

This incident marks Chisholm's fifth career ejection and his first since joining the Yankees. Despite the suspension, he remains a key player for the Yankees as they continue their season. Chisholm appealed the suspension, delaying any immediate consequences while he performs in the ongoing series against the Rays.

In a recent game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the New York Yankees was ejected after voicing his frustration over a controversial strike call made by home-plate umpire John Bacon. Following the ejection, Chisholm took to social media to express his anger, stating the call was 'not even close,' before deleting the post shortly after. MLB responded by suspending him for one game and imposing a fine due to his violation of the league's social media policy.

Chisholm's manager, Aaron Boone, confirmed that the player is appealing the suspension and would still be part of the lineup for the next game. During the at-bat in question, Chisholm faced a full count against left-handed reliever Mason Montgomery, with data indicating the pitch had only a 19.3% probability of being a strike. Chisholm acknowledged that while he lost his cool, he also needs to manage his emotions better for the sake of his team.

In a dramatic twist during the New York Yankees' 6-3 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays, infielder Jazz Chisholm found himself at the center of attention despite being ejected in the seventh inning. Chisholm was tossed after arguing a controversial strike call on a pitch that many considered well outside the zone. His frustration boiled over into social media when he criticized the umpire on X, formerly known as Twitter, declaring the call 'Not even f***ing close' before deleting the post shortly after.

Chisholm's ejection came at a time when he has been struggling at the plate, hitting a disappointing .169 with a career-high strikeout rate of 32.1 percent this season. Even though Chisholm acknowledged he was 'fired up' about the call, he took responsibility for his ejection. After the game, the league could potentially review his tweet, as MLB's social media policy admonishes players against disparaging umpires. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges athletes face with officiating in baseball, especially when personal performance is also under scrutiny.
