MLB senior vice president of on-field operations Michael Hill announced the decision.
Chisholm appealed, delaying any penalties until after a resolution. He started at second base in New Yorksa国际传媒 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay on Friday night, going 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
Chisholm was on Thursday night by plate umpire John Bacon when Chisholm argued after a called third strike on a full-count pitch from Mason Montgomery that appeared low. It was his fifth career ejection and first with the Yankees.
Chisholm then posted on his X account, 鈥淣ot even ... close!!!!!鈥 with a profanity mixed in, then deleted the post.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 think before I had anything that I said was ejectable but after probably,鈥 Chisholm said after the game. 鈥淚鈥檓 a competitor, so when I go out there and I feel like I鈥檓 right and you鈥檙e saying something to me that I think doesn鈥檛 make sense, I鈥檓 going to get fired up and be upset.
鈥淚 lost my emotions. I lost my cool,鈥 he added. 鈥淚 got to be better than that. ... I鈥檓 definitely mad at myself for losing my cool.鈥
