Jazz Chisholm Jr. faced ejection for the second time this season after arguing a strike call during a game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Yankees third baseman was tossed by plate umpire Mark Wegner for continuing to express his displeasure after a low pitch was ruled a strike. Chisholm's ejection occurred in the ninth inning of a close game that saw the Yankees lose 5-4 after 11 innings. Yankees captain Aaron Judge attempted to intervene as Chisholm was removed from the game.

Following his ejection, Chisholm expressed frustration over the call and the subsequent ejection, asserting he wasn't saying anything disrespectful. Manager Aaron Boone echoed the sentiment, acknowledging Chisholm's feelings about the strike and the circumstances leading to the ejection. This incident marks a challenging stretch for the Yankees, who have struggled in recent games, leading to a reduced AL East lead over Tampa Bay.
