Chisholm homers in 500th regular season game, has third-most homers and steals in first 500 games
NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. appeared in his 500th game and joined some select company. Chisholm homered into the second deck in right field Friday night to give the Yankees the lead in their 3-0 victory over the Athletics and giving him 89 career homers to go with 109 steals. Chisholm's homer off Mitch Spence in the second inning gave him the third-most homers and steals within the first 500 career games, trailing Eric Davis (107 homers, 190 steals) and former Yankee Alfonso Soriano (97 homers, 121 steals). Davis played his 500th game on Sept. 15, 1988, for the Cincinnati Reds. He finished his career in 2001 as a member of the San Francisco Giants with career totals of 282 homers, 349 steals in 1,626 games. 'That's pretty cool,' Chisholm said. 'I didn't know that. I just be out there playing and having fun but the first time I met Eric Davis, he's one of the favorite players I watched when I was a kid,' Chisholm said. 'So like watching his highlights and watching the way he plays, I feel like Byron Buxton is the closest person to him and watching Byron is just like watching E.D. (Eric Davis).' Soriano played his 500th game on Sept. 27, 2003, during his penultimate regular-season contest with the Yankees before being traded to Texas in the offseason for Alex Rodriguez. Soriano finished his career in 2014 with the Yankees with totals of 412 homers and 289 steals in 1,975 games. 'I got to meet Alfonso in Miami,' Chisholm said. 'I played with his little cousin. So for me talking about Alfonso and Eric and watching them as kids, those were the guys that I was kind of compared to in my swings even though (I'm) like small, (have) some power and some speed but yeah it's kind of sick to have same accomplishments.' After hitting Spence's cutter, Chisholm shrugged his shoulders as he rounded third and did a little shuffle before crossing the plate. Chisholm debuted Sept. 1, 2020, for the Miami Marlins and has 23 homers and 28 steals in 97 games for the Yankees, who acquired him last July 27 and moved him to third base. Chisholm's homer marked the 12th time in his career he went deep in consecutive games. It also gave him five homers since returning from a right oblique strain June 3, including one that stopped the Yankees' 30-inning scoreless streak on June 18. ___ AP MLB:

Answering your Reds questions: Elly's struggles, rotation unknowns, trade deadline and more
C. Trent Rosecrans discussed Elly De La Cruz, the trade deadline and various Reds topics during a wide-ranging live Q&A with The Athletic subscribers on Thursday. Here are some highlights from that live discussion. To see answers to more Reds questions, read the full Q&A. (Questions and answers have been edited for clarity and length.) Do you get the sense that the Reds' front office/coaching staff is getting frustrated with Elly De La Cruz's miscues at shortstop? I would give him as much time as possible to get it together, but there are many in the fanbase who are ready to move him to third base or center field ASAP. He's a shortstop. He's going to be a shortstop. Freddie Benavides is working with him on his throws and establishing his feet. Watch and most of the errors come when he's going to his left and drifting. He leads baseball in errors. That's not good. But, for nearly every error, he makes up for it in some way and is a net positive. Advertisement He's a shortstop and part of his identity is as a shortstop. I think we're so wowed by what he can do that when something doesn't go right or a mistake is made, it's magnified. We're so used to seeing him do the unbelievable that not being able to do the believable is unbelievable. And some people just like to complain about stuff. Playing right field would help keep his body healthy. It's funny, Eric Davis was the first person to remind me what stealing bases does to your body. Like ED said, 'Do you think Rickey Henderson couldn't play center field?' No. Rickey was in a corner, so he didn't have to take all the pounding that stealing bases AND playing center field does. On the other hand, he's really, really good. And you want him there. I think he's only going to get better and better. And it's not like shortstops grow on trees Over the last couple of years, the Reds have always seemed to be in on one of the top pitchers available. Do you see (president of baseball operations Nick) Krall going after a Sandy Alcantara or focusing on players that can hit lefties and relievers? Yeah, I think starting pitching is low on the list behind someone who can hit lefties and everyone always needs/wants bullpen help. Chase Burns is staying in the rotation and Hunter Greene is expected back around the All-Star break. There are still fingers crossed for Rhett Lowder, and Wade Miley's injury may not be as severe as feared. Carson Spiers is on his way back as well. You can never have too much starting pitching, but you also need to prioritize your needs, and to me, that's the strength of this team. Honestly, I know it's just one game with Burns, but … a Greene, Andrew Abbott, Burns rotation in the playoffs could have some folks shaking in their boots. Assuming Lowder and Greene come back healthy (I know a fully healthy rotation is a lot to assume), could you see Nick Martinez transitioning back into a swingman role? The rotation could get a bit crowded soon. Definite possibility. Advertisement Here's one of the best things about Martinez. Every pitcher will say, 'I just want to help the team win, and whatever role that puts me in, I'm just happy to do what I can.' The difference is that Martinez means it. He prefers to be a starter, but he knows what's up. He knows what kind of weapon he could be if the rotation is full. Tito (Francona) said he called Brady Singer and Martinez in on Sunday and told them that one of them would be starting Wednesday against the Yankees. Both would be on full rest thanks to Burns' insertion into the rotation. Singer said he wanted to stay on his regular schedule; Martinez said, sure, he'd pitch any time. Monday, he told Tito he was available for an inning or two that night if he needed him. And Tito said — because Nick has earned this — that a lot of guys will say that and he wouldn't do it, but Martinez is someone who means it and can do it. That's a pretty special player. How would you grade the key offseason acquisitions now at the mid-way point of the season? I mean, it's tough to argue against any of them. Free agents: • Nick Martinez: Good • Scott Barlow: Good • Austin Hays: Great when healthy (so far) Options • Emilio Pagán (well, that was his choice, but thank goodness) • Jakob Junis and Luke Maile: Not picked up. Looks like the right moves in retrospect. Trades • José Trevino: Good, better than expected • Brady Singer for Jonathan India: Good • Gavin Lux: Good. I know Mike Sirota has been killing it. But Lux is producing at the big-league level. If you want to drool over minor-league stats (and last I looked, Sirota's were drool-worthy), look at what Lux did in the minors. The big leagues are different. So, it was a risk, but I like it overall. You took a distressed asset low and flipped it. You can't look back at it with regret; you can only evaluate with the info you had at the time. • Taylor Rogers: Good Advertisement I mean, that seems to be a hell of a job by Krall, (GM Brad) Meador and associates this offseason. Would love to get your Cliffs Notes take on whether the Reds will be active at the deadline … and if so, likely positions they'll target? I think they'll search and talk to teams. Activity doesn't mean completing deals, and deals are dependent on the market. I don't know that I see them making the biggest splash. There will be some moves made, I'd assume, and because it's the safe bet, I'd expect a reliever. But some kind of right-handed bat would be the biggest bang for their buck, I think.
