Jazz Chisholm Jr. doesn’t know exactly when MLB intends to review the case of his one-game suspension, but it appears that the Yankees’ second baseman has some more time to break out of a prolonged slump before the appeal hearing occurs.

The Knicks have neither been there nor done that, and after a disappointing Game 2 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday, it’s unclear if they ever will.

BOSTON (AP) — Walker Buehler pitched seven strong innings, Kristian Campbell’s base-loaded grounder rolled into right field for a two-run single and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2 in Boston’s annual Patriots’ Day game.
