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.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Max Fried are All-Stars for the first time as Yankees, while Aaron Judge was previously named to his seventh All-Star team.

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.”
