Jazz Chisholm Jr. Starting Rehab Assignment Tuesday
1 year agoMiami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. Chisholm did a total-body workout on Monday and is nearing a return to the big leagues after injuring his right big toe while crashing into the center field wall on May 13. X-rays were negative, but Chisholm was diagnosed with turf toe and has been out ever since. The 25-year-old will eventually need surgery in the offseason, but he's hoping to play through the injury before then. He was hitting a disappointing .229 (33-for-144) before the injury with seven home runs, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 39 games. Hopefully he will continue to run on the base paths despite the toe injury.
