Jazz Chisholm Jr. Scratched With Hamstring Tightness
5 months agoMiami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hamstring) was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals with right-hamstring tightness for precautionary reasons. Chisholm will be available off the bench and should be considered day-to-day. Vidal Brujan will get the start in center field and will bat seventh, while Otto Lopez draws into the lineup at second base and will hit in the eight-hole against Cardinals right-hander Kyle Gibson. The Marlins have a scheduled day off on Thursday, so there's a good chance Chisholm will be back in there for Friday's series opener against the Seattle Mariners. The 26-year-old remains a must-start in most fantasy leagues when he's active, as he's currently hitting .266/.333/.446 on the year with 10 homers, 36 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 271 at-bats. He's also in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak in which he's gone 11-for-23 (.478) with a homer, a triple, five RBI, three walks and a steal.
