Jonathan Schoop has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back and will need 6-8 weeks of rest.
Advice: Schoop will meet with another doctor later this week for a second opinion, but it seems doubtful that the diagnosis will change. The 21-year-old infielder was batting .268/.331/.386 with three homers and 18 RBI in 34 games at the Triple-A level. It is no longer a certainty that he will reach the major leagues this season.
