Right Hamstring Strain Causes Removal of Jackson Chourio from Brewers' Roster asOutfielder
Milwaukee Brewers Outfielder Jackson Chourio Sidelined with Hamstring Injury
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio is expected to be out for longer than the minimum 10 days due to a strained right hamstring. The injury, which occurred during a game on July 29, is more severe than initially thought, and Chourio may miss most, if not all, of August.
Chourio was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 30. The exact extent of the injury is not yet known, but Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy has stated that Chourio will receive a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and undergo rehabilitation as part of his treatment.
Brandon Lockridge, an outfielder acquired from San Diego on Thursday, filled in for Chourio in the leadoff spot against the Nationals on Friday. Lockridge hit .216 with five RBIs in 47 games with the Padres this season.
Chourio had impressive batting statistics for the Brewers this season, with a .276 average, 17 home runs, 67 RBIs, and 18 steals. The acquisition of Lockridge was announced after the series opener against Washington.
The Brewers entered Friday with the best record in the majors at 64-44. Despite Chourio's injury, the team is optimistic about their chances moving forward. Manager Pat Murphy expressed confidence in the team's depth and ability to adapt to the situation.
In the meantime, the Brewers will continue to monitor Chourio's progress and provide him with the necessary support to ensure a full and successful recovery. The team looks forward to having Chourio back in the lineup as soon as possible.
The absence of Jackson Chourio due to a hamstring injury might impact his participation in Major League Baseball (MLB) games for the rest of the month, considering he will miss most, if not all, of August. Brandon Lockridge, a recently acquired outfielder, is currently filling in for Chourio in the leadoop spot, displaying his skills in the game of baseball with the Milwaukee Brewers.
