MIAMI, Florida — Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., still rehabbing a lower right back strain, will not play in the 2022 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. Chisholm, who was named the National League’s starter at his position after winning the fan vote, has been on the injured list since June 29 with the injury and has been rehabbing at the Marlins’ spring training complex in Jupiter. He has not yet begun a rehab assignment, The Miami Herald reported on July 16.

“For the most part, [Chisholm is doing] OK,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “The swinging has been OK. The groundballs, throwing and all that stuff’s been good. A little problem with the running. I think that’s been the biggest issue. How are we going to move forward with the running because the running seems to have  given him issues. Really just something that they’ll keep working on medically and make sure the strength’s there. There’s a lot of boxes for him to cross off to be able to get back to this level. For now, he’s in medical’s hands. Once they say he’s clear to be able to start playing some games, we can move forward.”
