Jazz Chisholm Jr. Starting At Second Base
5 months agoFor 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.
