This news comes after Chisholm was reported last week as doing all baseball activities, and that a return to game action was imminent. However, the twenty-four-year-old underwent a follow-up scan to make sure everything looked good, which revealed the fracture. 

Chisholm was having a career season, batting .254/.535/.860, with 14 home runs, 45 RBIs, and 12 stolen bases across 60 games.

The second baseman has already missed nearly a month of action with his back issue, and now it's likely the injury will keep him out of action until September.
