Perfect case of adding insult to injury on Thursday — Jazz Chisholm Jr. took a foul ball to the family jewels during the Yankees’ loss to the White Sox … and while he was in a world of pain, his teammates certainly got a kick out of it.
The unfortunate incident went down during the fourth inning … when the second baseman made contact with a pitch — but it bounced off the dirt and went right for his crotch.

Chisholm fell to the ground as he winced … and didn’t get up for several minutes.
While he was struggling with the injury, the Yankees dugout was also trying hard not to laugh … with Aaron Judge, Clarke Schmidt, Trent Grisham and Gerrit Cole appearing to giggle over the mishap.
It was later understood that Chisholm was REALLY going through it … and then it wasn’t as funny.

Even Cody Bellinger told reporters they thought it was just a “little nut tap” … but then realized “it was serious.”
Anthony Volpe ended up taking over for Chisholm.
No word on the guy’s status … but here’s hoping he’s good — and has a cup on the way.
