Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. calls All-Star selection well-deserved after comeback originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jazz Chisholm Jr. didn’t campaign for it. The New York Yankees third baseman didn’t ask for sympathy votes. He just said what he believed.

Appropriately enough, Aaron Judge celebrated All-Star Selection Sunday with a home run, blasting his 33rd of the season over Citi Field’s left-field wall in the fifth inning of the Yankees’ 6-4 Subway Series victory over the Mets.

With the Yankees having lost six straight and 16 of their last 22 games, one of their hottest hitters, Jazz Chisholm Jr., found himself out of the lineup for Sunday’s Subway Series finale. Aaron Boone said he’s been looking to get Chisholm an off day all week, as he’s been a “little beat up” and dealing with “shoulder stuff.”
