Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: MRI comes back clean
Rotowire
Chisholm, who is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Cincinnati, underwent an MRI that revealed no structural damage to his right hamstring, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Chisholm is on the bench for a second straight game with an injury that the Marlins classified as a right hamstring cramp, but the fact that he was sent in for an MRI at all probably means that a move to the injured list likely hasn't been ruled out. For now, the Marlins seem to be viewing Chisholm as day-to-day with the hope that he'll show enough improvement to make his return to the lineup at some point during the series in Cincinnati. McPherson notes that Chisholm was able to do some running on the field Monday and will continue to perform more baseball activities as tolerated.

Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: Likely to return from IL on Monday
Rotowire
The Marlins are expected to reinstate Chisholm (oblique) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Phillies, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
Miami signaled that Chisholm's return from the IL was imminent Sunday, when the team optioned Dane Myers -- who had been serving as the everyday center fielder -- to Triple-A Jacksonville. Shelved since July 3 with a left oblique strain, Chisholm made significant progress over the past week and was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, when he went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and a stolen base while playing five innings in center field for Single-A Jupiter. Chisholm will presumably be re-evaluated by the Marlins' medical staff Monday, but assuming his oblique isn't causing any issues, he should be activated and immediately reclaim a regular role in the outfield as Miami kicks off a crucial four-game set with one of its division rivals.
