So far, the ailment hasn’t impacted Chisholm Jr’s availability; however, he is absent from Sunday’s lineup against the Cincinnati Reds to accommodate the appointment. An update on his status should be available after the contest. 

In the meantime, Garrett Hampson is occupying center field and batting ninth in Sunday’s series finale. Hampson has been a solid contributor in the bottom half of the order, posting a career-best .426 slugging percentage through his first 65 plate appearances of the season.

The Marlins are trying to pump the breaks on a two-game losing streak. FanDuel Sportsbook has the hosts priced as -154 chalk against the Reds.
