00:00All right, let's start with the New York Yankees because they're the New York Yankees.

00:03Jazz Chisholm began a minor league rehab stint.

00:07As I understand it, Chisholm was offered the option of second base or third base,

00:12was told that third base is preferred by the team,

00:15and Chisholm's response was, whatever you need me to do to win,

00:17which I think is refreshing.

00:19But what do you know about Jazz Chisholm on his rehab side?

00:23Wait, I'm still reeling from whatever the team needs for me,

00:27especially for a guy to play third base.

00:30Yeah, just – wow, that's a lot to take in at one moment.

00:34I just need a second there.

00:35But okay, I'm back. I'm good.

00:36Yeah, the Yankees definitely need him to come back and play third base as soon as possible too.

00:40I know Jazz was struggling a little bit with the bat,

00:43but we know what kind of power-speed combination he brings.

00:47He's missed significant time here, so hopefully they're going to get him back sooner than later.

00:51If he's on rehab, start right now with AA.

00:53Again, that oblique issue, we know they linger, right?

00:56So we hope that he's 100%.

00:57So the guess for me is that he makes a couple of rehab starts here in Somerset,

01:02and you probably see him, I would imagine, by the end of next weekend

01:07that he will be back for the New York Yankees.

01:09And look, the Yankees are going out there and taking it to the Dodgers, right?

01:12I mean, that's what you want.

01:15Giving them a second opportunity to get some revenge.

01:17A little late, though, but what are they going to do?

01:19But Jazz is definitely a piece of fantasy manager we want to get back to.

01:22The batting average is going to fluctuate.

01:24You know, he's never going to be a 300 hitter.

01:26Can he get to that 250 range?

01:28Maybe.

01:28I think that's what you're hoping for.

01:30Can he find a little bit more consistent contact?

01:34But the power and speed is why you want him in Roto.

01:36He's been a very volatile player and a player that's had injuries throughout his career in different situations.

01:41So certainly not the pinnacle of health as Jazz Chisholm has been.

01:45And so if somehow you found somebody while he was hurt to plug that third base or second base hole wherever you had him playing,

01:52then it becomes an interesting trade trip.

01:54This is actually the time you want to trade Jazz Chisholm, I think,

01:56because I think the value is always at its highest when a player is returning from an injury.

01:59I think the value is always at its highest when a player is returning from an injury.
