BALLER MOVE: Buy Jazz Chisholm Jr.
ANALYSIS: It has been a while since we have seen New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm appear in a major league game. Chisholm injured his oblique back on April 29, and an MRI revealed a high-grade strain a few weeks ago. His initial timeline for a return was around four to six weeks, meaning we could see the former All-Star back at some point in June.
As a result, the 27-year-old is a great buy-low candidate right now. He continues to progress in his recovery and has been hitting off a tee for the past week. Given it has been a little over three weeks since Chisholm suffered that oblique strain, his return could occur within the next few weeks. Once he is eventually activated, he will be a strong all-around fantasy contributor.
Chisholm is targeting a return as early as this weekend, which means the buy-low window is quickly closing.
It was just last season that Chisholm hit .273 with 11 home runs and 18 stolen bases in 46 games with the Yankees. Even though the Yankees' utility specialist hit just .181 in his first 30 games this season, it's hard to ignore his home run and stolen base potential. He hit seven homers and stole six bases before his injury.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. smacks a two-run home run, his seventh of the season, tying Aaron Judge for the team lead. Cleveland’s lead is cut to 6-4 in the eighth. #Yankees

So, you're getting a player who could potentially hit 20 home runs and steal over 40 bases. Chisholm reached both of those marks in 2024, and there's a strong chance that he will hit over 20 home runs for the second consecutive year. His 14.9% barrel rate currently ranks in the 87th percentile to start the season.
