NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Baltimore Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left Sunday\u2019s game against the New York Yankees after being knocked over in a collision at the plate with Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/p>\n
With Baltimore ahead 2-0, Chisholm hit a two-out double off Dean Kremer and went home on DJ LeMahieu\u2019s single to left.<\/p>\n
Colton Cowser\u2019s throw was up the third-base line. Handley moved to his left for the throw, arriving for the ball at the same time as Chisholm, who tried to veer to the inside to avoid contact.<\/p>\n
Chisholm, whose left cleat had come off as he speeded down the line, smacked into Handley, fell past the plate and had to come back to touch it.<\/p>\n
Handley, a 27-year-old who debuted in April, got up slowly and was removed after a discussion with interim manager Tony Masolino and head athletic trainer Scott Barringer. Baltimore replaced Handley with former Yankees player Gary S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n
