Chisholm was placed in concussion protocol following that unfortunate event. He now says he is ready to play.
" Jazz Chisholm Jr. said he passed every concussion test and should be available to play tonight. Expects to go through a normal pregame workout," MLB.com's Bryan Hoch posted to X, formerly Twitter.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone clarified that Chisholm still had one test left to complete before he could play, Hoch reported in a separate post.
Chisholm appeared to be hit in the face by Dominguez's arm on Monday when the two players went for a fly ball .
"It was really unfortunate," Domínguez said, per MLB.com. "The infield was in, so as soon as Lee hit the ball, in my mind, I decided I had to go catch the ball. I called for the ball, but I didn't call it loud enough. I wanted to make sure he was OK. After the game, I went to check on him."

The Yankees are struggling right now , and can ill-afford another injury to a top player. New York is already dealing with the loss of star slugger Aaron Judge , and others have missed time.
"It's not something we want," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "Hopefully, Jazz's injury is not too bad. As the week unfolds, we start getting some guys back in the mix. It's part of it. We have to handle it, and guys have to step up."
On Tuesday night, the Yankees face the Tigers once again. It is expected to be a showdown between Tigers ace Tarik Skubal , and Yankees ace Cam Schlittler . Yankees fans hope the club fan finally snap this five-game losing streak.
