Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Yankees third baseman/outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a strong offensive showing with his new team in Monday's 14-4 win over the Phillies. Making his first career start at third base and batting sixth, Chisholm Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-run HR, a walk, and a strikeout. He was also picked off first base. The 26-year-old took Zack Wheeler deep in the second inning and put an exclamation point on the game by taking Garrett Stubbs deep in the ninth inning. The change of venue should help Chisholm Jr. find his power swing, as he has produced just a .420 slugging percentage with 15 HR this season. However, he managed to provide 49 runs and 53 RBI in a much weaker Marlins lineup with 23 stolen bases. Chisholm Jr.'s fantasy value should rise with his move to the Yankees, especially if he can gain third-base eligibility.

New York Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is making his first career start at third base on Monday in the series opener against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler in just his second game with the team. Chisholm will hit sixth in the batting order after starting in center field and batting sixth in his debut with the team on Sunday. Now that Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is back from the injured list, the 26-year-old Chisholm could see regular playing time at the hot corner, which would be bad news for DJ LeMahieu. Either way, Chisholm will be a lineup regular for the Bombers and has good career numbers against Wheeler, as he's batting .313 against him with a 1.202 OPS, a home run and three RBI in 16 career at-bats against him. Chisholm went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout in his debut for the Yanks on Sunday night.

New York Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. could see time at third base for his new team, manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday. The dynamic trade deadline acquisition has played a lot of second base and some shortstop in the majors, so the transition to third makes some sense on that front. The Yankees will have a crowded outfield when Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) returns this week and they need to find a spot for Chisholm to play. Boone also noted that Gleyber Torres could see reps at third base, opening up second base for Chisholm. Either way, both Jazz and Gleyber should see everyday at-bats for the Yankees and the third base eligibility will increase both of their fantasy values.

New York Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. will make his team debut against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. The 26-year-old was acquired by the Yankees in exchange for three players on Saturday. The Yankees are wasting no time and getting Chisholm into the lineup a day later. He'll cover center field and bat fifth versus right-hander Tanner Houck. The left-handed slugger can play all over the field so his playing time should remain consistent. Chisholm could see an uptick in production with the move to a more hitter-friendly ballpark.

The New York Yankees have acquired outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins Saturday afternoon. The Marlins will get catching prospect Agustin Ramirez, the centerpiece of a three-player package, in return for the young star. Chisholm Jr. is hitting .249 with 13 home runs, 22 stolen bases, and 46 runs scored this season. It's unknown if the Yankees will play him in the outfield or at second base. This move could have playing time ramifications for Alex Verdugo or Gleyber Torres, depending on where Chisholm Jr. ends up playing for New York. Anticipate that the new acquisition will hit leadoff.
