General manager Kim Ng announced Chisholm as the Marlins' starting second baseman to begin the season, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old entered camp as the favorite for the starting job at the keystone, and he was able to hold off Isan Diaz to nab the role. Chisholm struggled in his big-league debut last season with a .161/.242/.321 slash line over 62 plate appearances, but he remains one of Miami's top prospects. He had a .761 OPS with 16 stolen bases in 112 games at the Double-A level in 2019, and he should provide some value on the basepaths if he can get on base enough.

Chisholm hit leadoff during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, going 1-for-1 with with two walks and three stolen bases.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old continues to pull away from Isan Diaz in the race to win the Marlins' starting job at second base, and Chisholm is now slashing .273/.351/.545 through 37 Grapefruit League plate appearances with three homers, four steals and a 4:11 BB:K. Diaz, on the other hand, is hitting a woeful .069 (2-for-29). Chisholm will be a batting average risk at this stage of his career if he finds himself on the Opening Day roster, but his power/speed potential gives him significant fantasy appeal, especially if he hits at the top of the order consistently.

Chisholm hit his second home run of the spring in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, sending a Robert Gsellman pitch over the wall in right field with an exit velocity of 112.7 mph, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old was struggling earlier this spring, going 1-for-17 with seven strikeouts over an eight-game stretch, but Chisholm may be finding a groove at the plate. He's improved to 5-for-22 (.227) in Grapefruit League play with a 1:7 BB:K, while his main competition for the starting second base job, Isan Diaz, hasn't done much better. Diaz is 2-for-18 (.111) with zero homers through 11 games, although he does have a superior 5:6 BB:K. Whichever player steps it up over the final days of March will likely find himself in the Opening Day lineup.

Chisholm is competing with Jon Berti and Isan Diaz for the starting second base job with the Marlins to begin the season, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the team still views Chisholm as a shortstop in the long term, Miguel Rojas holds down that job for now and is making a reasonable $5 million this season, with a $5.5 million club option for 2022 that becomes guaranteed if Rojas sees 500 PAs this year. As a result, if Chisholm proves in camp he doesn't need any more time in the minors, he'll have to slide over to the keystone. The 23-year-old is the Marlins' No. 4 prospect but posted a disappointing .563 OPS over 21 games in his big-league debut last season.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a home run, one double, three RBI and two runs in Sunday's win against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm capped off the regular season with one of his best performances as the Marlins beat the Yankees to secure the No. 5 seed in the playoffs. The 22-year-old saw limited playing time down the stretch, and it's unclear whether the Marlins will ride his hot bat during the NL Wild Card Series.

Chisholm isn't starting Monday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm will retreat to the bench for the fourth time in the past five games after going hitless with six strikeouts in his last 13 at-bats. Jon Berti will take over at second base Monday.

Chisholm is not in the lineup Saturday against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisholm finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row, though he did start the first half of Friday's doubleheader. He's failed to impress thus far in his debut season, hitting .130/.231/.239 in 17 games. Sean Rodriguez starts at second base Saturday.
