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.
For the first time since the 2022 season, Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is starting at second base and batting in his customary leadoff spot on Sunday against the hosting Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Nick Lodolo. With Chisholm moving to the infield, Vidal Brujan will start in center field and bat eighth for the Fish. It remains to be seen if Chisholm will see more starts at the keystone in the second half of the season, but he is a popular trade candidate with the July 30 deadline quickly approaching, so perhaps the Marlins are auditioning him at his old position to make him even more attractive for potential suitors. The 26-year-old is also a must-start in fantasy formats for his power/speed combination, although Sunday's matchup is a tough one. Chisholm has managed to stay healthy in 2024 and is hitting .251 with 12 homers, 42 RBI and 18 steals.
Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Houston Astros. Chisholm scorched the fifth-inning shot at 106 mph, with the ball traveling 397 feet. Jazz had showcased his blend of power and speed all season, smacking 12 homers while swiping 18 bags. He should be able to reach 20 homers and 30 steals by year-end while not hurting fantasy managers in runs, RBI, or AVG. If he were to get traded to a contender, which seems likely, his value would increase even further as his run and RBI potential would increase greatly.
According to The Miami Herald's Craig Mish, there is a growing belief that the Miami Marlins will trade outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. at this year's trade deadline. Chisholm's stock is up this year, mainly due to the fact that he's managed to stay healthy to this point. The 26-year-old has also been very productive offensively, slashing .255/.326/.407 with a .733 OPS, 10 home runs, 40 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 37 runs scored in 87 games played. Chisholm is currently on track to play in over 100 games for just the second time in his five years in the big leagues. "This is the first time there has been genuine interest in Chisholm as injuries, and his personality have kept other clubs wondering what they would be getting in return," Mish writes. Chisholm's power/speed combination would be even more intriguing with a contending team.
