An eventful few days for Jazz Chisholm Jr. took another turn, this one painful.

The Yankees second baseman exited Monday’s game in the top of the fourth inning and has entered the concussion protocol after being clotheslined by Jasson Domínguez while pursuing a fly ball.

During an ugly, 7-3 loss to the Tigers in The Bronx, Detroit’s Hao-Yu Lee sent a high fly ball to shallow right field. Chisholm had been shaded in because a runner was on third with one out, then sprinted back into what manager Aaron Boone called “no-man’s-land.”

Right fielder Domínguez charged in and said he called for the ball. “But obviously I didn’t call it loud enough,” he added.

Both believed they would catch the ball, and Domínguez did — as Chisholm ran directly into his elbow and immediately dropped to the grass.

“It was really unfortunate,” said Domínguez, who stood by Chisholm for several minutes as the second baseman required time first to sit up and then to rise to his feet before walking off the field with a trainer, Oswaldo Cabrera taking over at second base.

“Hopefully, it is not too bad,” Boone said of Chisholm, who a day earlier in Boston did not see the end of the game because he was ejected arguing a check-swing call in the sixth inning.

The ejection drew a second one-on-one talk with Boone in the past week.

Boone had not been happy that Chisholm sucked on a Blow Pop while playing second base last Monday in Detroit.

Speaking before Monday’s game, Chisholm said he still disagreed with the umpire’s decision to eject him and still does not believe he swung at the pitch, but he took responsibility for his emotions that put the Yankees in a difficult position.

“I got to be better for the team,” Chisholm said after spiking his helmet, which earned the ejection even after Boone and first base coach Dan Fiorito interceded. “I got to stay in the game right there.”

Trent Grisham likely will play in a rehab game Tuesday.

It is possible that the outfielder, out since June 12 with a hamstring strain, will be activated Wednesday.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Yankees are expecting an intriguing sim game that will include Max Fried facing Giancarlo Stanton.

Fried is expected to build up to close to 30 pitches in a two-“inning” outing, Boone said, as the lefty begins stretching out after his elbow bone bruise.

Stanton, who already had one setback from a calf strain, will bat against Fried and “is moving again with a little more intensity,” Boone said.

Ryan McMahon (throat infection) took ground balls for the first time Monday and is expected to be activated when eligible Friday.
