Warning: X post contains coarse language

New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. wasn't happy with Maikel Garcia after the Kansas City Royals infielder applied a rough tag on him during the Yankees' 10-2 win Tuesday.

Chisholm was caught on camera mouthing profanities after he was smacked on the top of his head during a steal attempt in the sixth inning.

Chisholm was attended to by trainers after the tag. He remained in the game until the bottom of the seventh when he was removed due to a stiff neck.

"I just feel like every time we have a problem, it's always been him," Chisholm said, according to the New York Post's Greg Joyce.

The 27-year-old, who's expected to return to the lineup Wednesday, added he "didn't like" the tag.

This isn't the first time Garcia has faced Chisholm's ire. The Yankees third baseman accused the Royals infielder of intentionally trying to hurt teammate Anthony Volpe with a hard slide attempt in Game 4 of last season's American League Division Series.
