Jazz Chisholm Jr. Out of Saturday's Lineup
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the starting lineup for his team's game against the Houston Astros on Saturday. Jose Caballero will take his place at second base and bat eighth against Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. Chisholm Jr. has struggled so far in August, hitting .154 with eight strikeouts in 28 plate appearances this month. He also holds just a .329 slugging percentage against left-handed pitching for the season, which could be part of why he's getting the day off against a tough lefty in Valdez. Chisholm Jr.'s season-long slash line of .237/.329/.461 with 19 home runs and 14 stolen bases is still very solid, so this is likely just a scheduled day off for the 27-year-old.
