Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. took a lollipop out to the field on Monday night in the middle of New York’s loss to the Tigers in Detroit.
Manager Aaron Boone didn’t find out about it until after the game, and he wasn’t pleased.

“Oh yeah, that pisses me off,” Boone said on the Talkin’ Yanks podcast on Tuesday. “I didn’t know about it until after the game. So he and I talked about that. That won’t be going on.”
Told by the hosts of Talkin’ Yanks that Chisholm took an at-bat with a lollipop in his mouth earlier this season in Boston against the Red Sox, Boone was bothered.
“That was the second time? There was another time? Yeah, that’s — I’m not on that,” he said.
Chisholm is hitting .226/.312/.404 (.716 OPS) with 11 homers and 23 stolen bases in 74 games this season.
He was an All-Star last season and also won a Silver Slugger, during a year where he slashed .242/.332/.481 with a career-high 31 homers.
Chisholm’s big 2025 campaign led to his spring training proclamation ahead of the 2026 campaign that he was aiming for a 50 homer/50 steal season.
