Jazz Chisholm Jr. Out Of Monday's Lineup Against Lefty
8 months agoMiami Marlins outfielders Jazz Chisholm and Jesus Sanchez are not in the starting lineup on Monday against the New York Yankees and left-hander Nestor Cortes. This will be Chisholm's first time on the bench this year after starting each of the club's first 10 contests. The 26-year-old All-Star does have two home runs and eight RBI, but overall he's 7-for-34 (.206) with a stolen base, six runs scored and 11 strikeouts in 42 trips to the plate. Vidal Brujan is starting in center field and batting eighth, while Avisail Garcia is in right field and hitting sixth against Cortes in the series opener. Brujan is hitting .143 in seven career at-bats versus Cortes, while Garcia doesn't have a hit in his only career at-bat against the crafty southpaw.
