The MLB is investigating\u00a0Atlanta Braves assistant coach Eddie P\u00e9rez after he apparently gestured towards his head while in the midst of a squabble with New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. during the Yankees’ 12\u20139 victory on Saturday night at Truist Park, according to\u00a0The Athletic.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0back-and-forth between P\u00e9rez and Chisholm\u00a0occurred in the sixth inning, and seemed to stem from the Yankees second baseman’s actions while he was standing on second base.<\/p>\n

Chisholm, in what is legal within the rulebook, appeared to be relaying signs to Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe while dancing off second base.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Yankees had done something similar\u00a0during a July 10 game against the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n

Evidently, P\u00e9rez took exception to Chisholm’s apparent sign-stealing.<\/p>\n

While standing on third base, Chisholm demonstratively exchanged words with P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n

When he arrived back in the Yankees dugout after scoring New York’s sixth run of the game, a still-incensed Chisholm kept pointing at his own head and gesturing back at the Braves dugout.<\/p>\n

Yankees announcers Michael Kay and Joe Girardi wondered whether Chisholm felt P\u00e9rez was threatening that Atlanta may throw at his head the next time he stepped to the plate.<\/p>\n

But the Braves coach denied threatening Chisholm.<\/p>\n

“I was just saying, \u2018Be smart,\u2019”\u00a0P\u00e9rez told MLB.com. “I like that guy. He\u2019s one of my favorites. And he got mad about it. I don\u2019t know why he got mad about it. So I was like, \u2018Take it easy,\u2019 and he started doing some [stuff].”<\/em><\/p>\n

Yankees manager Aaron Boone, while speaking to reporters after Saturday’s game, made clear that if P\u00e9rez was indeed threatening Chisholm, that such a move has no place in baseball.<\/p>\n

“I hope it didn\u2019t, because obviously there\u2019s no place for that,” Boone told MLB.com. “And that\u2019s certainly something that would not be O.K. So I hope he didn\u2019t mean anything like that by it, because that would deserve some looking into.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It appears that MLB is doing its due diligence.<\/p>\n

Chisholm, for his part, declined to comment on the incident with P\u00e9rez on Saturday and again before the Yankees’ 4\u20132 win on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
