The New York Yankees 2025 season has been a rollercoaster, but Jazz Chisholm Jr. is going through one of the best moments since he arrived in the Bronx. After covering third base in 28 games due to injuries, he was returned to second base and his natural position during the series against the Seattle Mariners.
Aaron Boone’s decision comes at the right time because the player is dealing with problems in his right shoulder. This change in the lineup, in addition to protecting his health, has made him regain confidence in an area he dominates and feels comfortable with.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. confirmed for 2025 Home Run Derby in Atlanta
Jazz was announced as the last official member of the 2025 Home Run Derby, which will be played on Monday, July 14 at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. On the season, he has 17 home runs, 43 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 61 games.
Chisholm Jr. will share the stage with Ronald Acuña Jr., Cal Raleigh, Byron Buxton and others. The player will make his first appearance at this event and will represent one of the most traditional teams such as the Yankees and the Bahamas, his native country.
How did Chisholm fare in his return to second base against the Yankees?
Returning to second base, a position he dominates more, he had an impressive performance against Seattle with two home runs and giving New York the victory by a score of 9-6 to sign their third consecutive game won after weeks of several defeats.
In addition to his home runs, the Bahamian drove in the fourth run with a walk and his return to second base allowed Boone to make defensive rotations. Jazz’s week could not have been better: He is the last guest at the 2025 HR Derby, returns to his favorite position and crowns with a Yankees victory.
