Jake Bauers' toe injury is a chronic fracture, not a new acute break

Jake Bauers, the Brewers' home run leader (18 HR, 60 RBI), was initially reported to have fractured his toe. However, further reports indicate it is a chronic fracture (likely a stress fracture he was playing through), and he may not miss significant time. This reduces the urgency for GM Matt Arnold to find a first base replacement before the trade deadline. Bauers had been a key contributor in a career year.
