Jazz Chisholm Jr. Making First Start At Third Base
4 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is making his first career start at third base on Monday in the series opener against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler in just his second game with the team. Chisholm will hit sixth in the batting order after starting in center field and batting sixth in his debut with the team on Sunday. Now that Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is back from the injured list, the 26-year-old Chisholm could see regular playing time at the hot corner, which would be bad news for DJ LeMahieu. Either way, Chisholm will be a lineup regular for the Bombers and has good career numbers against Wheeler, as he's batting .313 against him with a 1.202 OPS, a home run and three RBI in 16 career at-bats against him. Chisholm went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout in his debut for the Yanks on Sunday night.
