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.
