Marlins breakout star Jazz Chisholm Jr. was removed from Sunday’s game after two innings due to left hamstring tightness, the club announced. Recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville earlier in the day, Joe Dunand replaced him at second base.
Through 34 games, Chisholm has a .290/.341/.581 slash line (158 wRC+) with seven home runs and six stolen bases. Despite limited reps against left-handed pitching, he easily leads all Marlins position players in wins above replacement (1.9 fWAR/2.0 rWAR). The Bahamian speedster was well on his way to his first career MLB All-Star selection.
In the eighth inning of Saturday’s game, Ozzie Albies made contact with Chisholm’s left knee while attempting to steal second base.
