NEW YORK -- Jazz Chisholm Jr. found a way to keep Aaron Judge's bat in the New York Yankees' lineup.

"When I pick up his bat I know I can't swing as hard as I can or else I'll tear an oblique like last year," Chisholm said. "It just helps me to just go out there and just control the barrel and just try to touch the ball."
