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

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.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) has returned to the starting lineup. The 26-year-old was kept out of the lineup on Friday due to facing a southpaw and a minor hand injury. In addition, he made seven straight starts prior to that. Chisholm will bat in the leadoff spot and play in center field. In 79 games this season, Chisholm has posted a .260/.327/.429 slash line with 10 long balls, 37 RBI, and 14 stolen bases. Before sitting out on Friday, Chisholm tallied at least one hit in four of his last six games. However, he should be faded in DFS this afternoon as he will face Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola, who has posted a 2.77 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and a near-perfect 1:12 BB:K ratio in his previous two starts.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies with left-hander Cristopher Sanchez on the mound. The Marlins are also resting outfielders Jesus Sanchez and Nick Gordon and catcher Nick Fortes in this one. Vidal Brujan is starting in center field and batting eighth, Dane Myers is in right field and is hitting cleanup, Otto Lopez is at second base and batting fifth, and Ali Sanchez is doing the catching out of the nine-hole for the Fish as they look for a second straight win to open up the series in Philly. Chisholm took a pitch off his hand in Thursday's victory but ended up staying in the game. The 26-year-old's mix of power and speed make him a must-start in all fantasy formats when he's active. Chisholm is currently slashing .260/.327/.429 with 10 homers, 37 RBI and 14 steals in 296 at-bats.
