Jackson Chourio Extends His Time Out Due to Injury
The Milwaukee Brewers will have to do without Jackson Chourio, their star outfielder, for an additional two to four weeks. The player is in the process of recovering from a right hamstring strain.
According to Brewers manager Pat Murphy, 21-year-old Chourio is showing progress thanks to the treatment received, which includes a platelet-rich plasma injection. The player has not participated in games since suffering the injury while running the bases on July 29.
Chourio has maintained a batting average of .276, with 17 home runs, 67 RBIs, and 18 stolen bases for Milwaukee. The team arrived on Tuesday with the best record in the league, 68-44.Updates on Other Injured Players
In other injury news, Jacob Misiorowski, the rookie who was pulled from Sunday’s start due to a contusion on his left tibia, participated in a bullpen session on Tuesday. Murphy estimates that the All-Star right-handed pitcher will return in mid-August.
Misiorowski, 23 years old, has a 4-1 record with 47 strikeouts in 33⅓ innings this season.
Injured reliever Shelby Miller, acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, will begin a rehabilitation assignment on Tuesday in Triple-A Nashville while recovering from a right flexor strain. Murphy expects Miller to also return in mid-August.
