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

Miami Marlins center fielderJazz Chisholm Jr.went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 9-7 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the bases loaded, he took Pirates starter Bailey Falter deep in the first inning for his first home run in 2024. The 26-year-old is hitting just .143 (2-for-14) for the season with a .762 OPS through four games. Chisholm and his five-tool potential will look to build on Sunday's performance when the Marlins face the Los Angeles Angels in a plus matchup on Monday. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Chisholm in all league formats.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) is making his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday against the Washington Nationals and is batting cleanup and starting in center field. Chisholm battled turf toe last year and had to have surgery to fix it in October, but he's back in action in spring training and should be fully ready to go for the start of the 2024 regular season at the end of March. The 26-year-old is one of the bigger risk/reward fantasy commodities in baseball. In 97 games for the Fish last year, he hit .250/.304/.457 with 19 home runs and 22 stolen bases. If Chisholm can stay healthy -- he's played in over 100 games just once in his four major-league seasons -- he has the power/speed ability to be a league-winner for fantasy managers. RotoBaller has Chisholm ranked as the No. 17 fantasy outfielder entering his fifth MLB campaign.

The Miami Marlins won their salary arbitration case with outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. on Thursday, and he will now be paid $2.625 million in 2024 instead of the $2.9 million that he was seeking. Chisholm was in his first year of arbitration eligibility with the Fish. The 26-year-old left-handed hitter was an All-Star in 2022 despite playing in 60 games, and he played in only 97 games due to more injury issues in 2023. He had surgery in October for turf toe on his right foot, but he's expected to be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season. There's a lot to like about Chisholm's skills as a power-speed option that can also play the infield, but injuries have depressed his fantasy value the last two seasons. Sticking in center field could also make it hard for Chisholm to stay healthy in the future. He takes an aggressive approach at the plate, which isn't great for his batting average, and he'll also be less attractive to fantasy managers this spring now that he's lost second base eligibility.
