Summary
New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. clarified that a piece of cotton in his ear canal, not an AirPod, was causing an earache that made it difficult to hear out of his right ear. Chisholm took a grounder to the head and suffered from an earache for three or four days. He used actual AirPods in the clubhouse to block out noise and has not missed any time due to the injury.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Chisholm’s earache led to a slow start, but he’s picking it up lately. He’s got a .205 batting average, three home runs, 10 RBI, and nine stolen bases.
This one felt recognizable early, with fans quick to jump to conclusions about the AirPods.
Chisholm’s response was classic, using his Instagram Story to show the cotton in his ear and shrugging off the controversy.
Chisholm’s earache was a “learning moment” that didn’t affect his performance on the field.
It’s just another example of how fans love to overthink every little detail.
