BOSTON — All Jazz Chisholm Jr. could do was watch for six weeks as the Miami Marlins went on a run that put them among the top teams in the National League.
The Marlins were 19-21 the last time he played before an extended stint on the injured list due to right turf toe. In the 39 games he missed while rehabbing, they went 26-13 and established themselves as a contender as the regular season nears its halfway mark.
“I’ve been waiting for a long time to be back here,” Chisholm said. “The guys have been having fun. I’m just here to help.”
