Jazz Chisholm Jr. Expected To Play Second Base In 2025
1 day agoNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on WFAN 660 on Tuesday that infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is expected to start at second base in 2025, with DJ LeMahieu, Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza competing at third base "right now." In addition to likely being the starting second baseman for the Bombers this season, Boone also mentioned Chisholm, along with young outfielder Jasson Dominguez, as an option to hit leadoff. The 26-year-old played third for the Yanks in the second half last year after they acquired him from the Miami Marlins, but he'll now be shifting to the keystone with Gleyber Torres leaving in free agency. Not only did Chisholm stay healthy and play in a season-high 147 games in 2024, but he enjoyed the Bronx, slashing .273/.325/.500 with an .825 OPS, 11 homers and 18 steals in 46 regular-season games. Injury risk is still there, but with second base eligibility coming, Chisholm's fantasy arrow is pointing directly up.
