Chisholm will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Chisholm started in center field in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Red Sox, but with Giancarlo Stanton's (hamstring) return from the injured list Monday creating a logjam in the outfield, Chisholm looks like he could see most of his playing time at the hot corner moving forward. The 26-year-old hasn't played the position at all during his time in the professional ranks, but the Yankees believe that his athleticism, arm strength and prior experience at second base and shortstop can help him make a relatively smooth transition to the hot corner. At the very least, Chisholm is expected to provide a notable offensive upgrade over Oswaldo Cabrera and DJ LeMahieu, who had been sharing time at third base lately.

Chisholm went 1-for-5 with a steal and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Chisholm recorded his first hit as a Yankee on an infield single in the ninth and would end up stealing third and scoring before the frame concluded. He's now stolen four bags over his last five games, bringing him up to 23 for the year, which ties his career high from 2021. The 26-year-old slotted fifth in the order Sunday but figures to be moved higher once he's gotten comfortable in New York, as the Yankees look for production outside of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto. For the year, Chisholm is slashing .248/.322/.404 with 13 homers, 50 RBI, 47 runs and a 39:108 BB:K in 435 plate appearances.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Chisholm will be deployed at third base on the occasions he's needed to play the infield, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees acquired Chisholm from the Marlins on Saturday after he spent the first four-plus years of his major-league career in Miami. Chisholm will make his team debut Sunday in Boston, starting in center field and batting fifth. Though Chisholm has seen the majority of his starts in the outfield this season, his path to playing time in the outfield could become murkier when Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) returns from the injured list Monday. While Chisholm's prior professional experience in the infield has come at second base and shortstop, Boone and the Yankees' brain trust are apparently confident that the 26-year-old possesses the arm strength and athleticism to step in capably at third base. Assuming Chisholm is able to hold his own defensively at the hot corner, he could end up settling into a regular role at the position, given that the Yankees have gotten little production from third baseman DJ LeMahieu and Oswaldo Cabrera this season. Chisholm, meanwhile, turned in a .249/.323/.407 slash line with 13 home runs and 22 stolen bases over 101 games with the Marlins prior to being traded.

The Marlins traded Chisholm to the Yankees on Saturday in exchange for Agustin Ramirez, Jared Serna and Abrahan Ramirez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The addition of Chisholm gives the Yankees another left-handed bat with speed, as he's recorded 22 stolen bases this season, eight of which have come in July. It's unclear exactly how he will fit into the lineup, but it could mean that Alex Verdugo is the odd man out of an outfield made up of Chisholm, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, especially with Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) targeting a return Monday. Chisholm has also seen time at second base this season, and he could perhaps take over the primary role there from Gleyber Torres. For the season, Chisholm is slashing .249/.323/.407 with 14 doubles, 13 home runs and 50 RBI across 430 plate appearances.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been taking his leadoff duties seriously in July. Chisholm is batting just .198 (16-for-81) on the month, but he's drawn 12 free passes in 20 games and his 12.8 percent walk rate during that time is a significant jump from his career rate of 7.7 percent. The extra opportunities on the basepaths have also translated into fantasy production -- he's gone 8-for-9 on steal attempts in July, giving Chisholm 22 stolen bases in 101 games on the season and putting him one short of matching his career high.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a pair of stolen bases in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Chisholm continues to build his value in advance of the trade deadline. The outfielder drove in a pair of runs with a double in the Marlins' four-run second inning while also swiping his 20th and 21st bags of the season. Chisholm's now batting .300 (6-for-20) with a pair of extra-base hits following the All-Star break. He's slashing .251/.325/.412 with 13 homers, 47 RBI and 43 runs scored through 416 plate appearances this season.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Chisholm took Christian Scott deep in the fourth inning and drove in what turned out to be the three deciding runs in Sunday's win. Chisholm now has multi-hit games in two of his first three contests after the All-Star break as trade rumors continue to hover around him. The 26-year-old is hitting .251/.322/.411 with 13 home runs, 45 RBI and 19 stolen bases through 96 games this season.

Chisholm went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
With trade rumors swirling around him, Chisholm has been having a little trouble staying focused at the plate. The 26-year-old has a .185/.290/.296 slash line through 13 games in July with two homers, three RBI and six runs, but he's kept his fantasy value afloat by adding five steals, giving him 19 on the season -- just four short of the career-high 23 he pilfered in 2021.

Chisholm will bat leadoff and start at second base in Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Chisholm will be making his first start at second base since 2022. The 26-year-old came into the league as a second baseman before transitioning to center field in 2023, so he has plenty of previous experience at the position. Vidal Brujan, who has been logging semi-regular starts at second base, is trading off with Chisholm and will cover center field Sunday.

Chisholm went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
He took Shawn Dubin deep in the fifth inning, Chisholm's second homer in the last three games and his 12th of the year. The center fielder has trade rumors swirling around him, but Chisholm has largely been able to block them out -- over the last month, he's slashed .280/.346/.409 with three homers, six steals, 10 runs and 11 RBI in 26 contests.
