Miami Marlins center fielder, Jazz Chisholm Jr., has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right toe turf injury. According to Marlins manager Skip Schumaker, the outfielder is expected to miss four to six weeks as a result of the injury.
Chisholm, who was colliding with the center-field wall while attempting to catch a drive hit by Henry Ramos in Miami’s recent 6-5 loss against the Cincinnati Reds, remained down on the warning track for a couple of minutes before reaching his feet and limping off the field.
The manager of the Marlins expressed his disappointment in the loss of their star center fielder, saying that they had put a lot on Chisholm’s plate early in the year and in spring training and that he had done nothing but grow in that position.
Chisholm has seven homers and began Tuesday tied for second in the NL with 14 steals. He had homered in consecutive games against the Reds before his injury.
Although Chisholm was voted as the starting second baseman in the 2022 All-Star Game, he didn’t play due to a back injury he sustained in June that sidelined him for the remainder of the season.
Chisholm spent his first three seasons with Miami primarily at second base but agreed to the move to center, where he started 38 of the first 41 games. The move also opened second base for reigning AL batting champion Luis Arraez, who was acquired from the Minnesota Twins in an offseason trade.
Marlins manager Schumaker expressed his disappointment in Chisholm’s absence, saying that he was looking forward to him getting healthy and back. Meanwhile, reserves Garrett Hampson and Peyton Burdick will split the initial starts in center during Chisholm’s absence.
Additionally, the Marlins have recalled infielder-outfielder Xavier Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville and reinstated right-handed relief pitcher JT Chargois from the 15-day injured list.
