Chourio (hamstring) will start in left field and bat second in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Friday.
Chourio aggravated his injured hamstring during the seventh inning of Game 3 on Thursday, but he is seemingly feeling well enough to remain in the starting nine Friday. The 21-year-old outfielder has been one of the few Brewers hitters to contribute consistently during the postseason, slashing .276/.290/.552 with two homers and eight RBI through 31 plate appearances.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Aggravates hamstring injury
Rotowire
Chourio exited Thursday's game against the Dodgers after appearing to aggravate his right hamstring injury, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Chourio took an apparently normal swing in the seventh inning, but he immediately came up hobbling with what initially appeared to be a cramp. After he was unsuccessful in his attempts to get loosened back up, the young outfielder was quickly removed from the game in favor of Blake Perkins. Chourio should be considered day-to-day heading into Friday's Game 4 with the Brewers looking to avoid a sweep.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Hamstring is 'close to 100 percent'
Rotowire
Chourio said Monday that his right hamstring feels "close to 100 percent," Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Chourio missed most of August with a right hamstring strain and had to be removed from Games 1 and 2 of the NLDS after the hamstring flared up on him. While it appears Chourio is on the mend, the Brewers are still likely to ask the outfielder to take it easy on the basepaths so as not to aggravate the injury. Chourio is slashing .389/.421/.667 with one home run, two doubles and six RBI in five games this postseason.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Back in lineup for Game 3
Rotowire
Chourio (hamstring) will start in left field and bat second Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs.
Chourio had to be removed from each of the first two games of the series with right hamstring tightness, but he's been cleared to play Wednesday as the Brewers look to close out the series. The 21-year-old will likely be under strict orders to take it easy on the basepaths. Chourio is 5-for-7 with one home run and six RBI so far in the series.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Was removed due to tight hamstring
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Chourio was removed from Monday's Game 2 of the NLDS versus the Cubs in the ninth inning after his right hamstring tightened up, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
It's the same hamstring that Chourio tweaked in Game 1, forcing his removal from that contest. Murphy noted that Chourio will go through a very light workout Tuesday at Wrigley Field prior to Wednesday's Game 3, and the outfielder is considered day-to-day. Chourio is 5-for-7 with one home run and six RBI in the first two games of the series. If Chourio forced to miss Game 3, Isaac Collins would likely replace him in the outfield.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Delivers knockout punch
Rotowire
Chourio went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run during Monday's 7-3 victory in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Cubs.
Chourio's status leading up to Monday night was uncertain after he departed Game 1 early with a hamstring injury, but he showed plenty of juice in Game 2. His biggest moment of the evening came in the bottom of the fourth inning when he clubbed a three-run home run off Daniel Palencia, providing his team with key insurance runs. It was clear throughout the game that Chourio wasn't running at full speed, as reported by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, so it'll be worth keeping a close eye on the 21-year-old's status leading up to Wednesday's Game 3. Milwaukee did replace Chourio in left field for the top of the ninth inning, but the team has yet to indicate that this move was anything more than a precaution.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: In Game 2 lineup at leadoff
Rotowire
Chourio (hamstring) will start in left field and bat leadoff Monday in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Chourio had to depart Game 1 on Saturday in the second inning due to right hamstring tightness. It's the same hamstring he strained earlier this season that kept him out of commission for a month, but an MRI came back inconclusive this time around and he's been cleared to play Monday. Before exiting Game 1, Chourio had gone 3-for-3 at the plate.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Availability for Game 2 uncertain
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that an MRI on Chourio's strained right hamstring was inconclusive, and the outfielder is set to go through a light workout Sunday before a decision on his availability for Monday's Game 2 of the NLDS against the Cubs is made, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Chourio exited the Brewers' Game 1 win Saturday with tightness in the same hamstring that he had strained earlier this season. Though Murphy relayed that he doesn't believe Chourio's hamstring strain is overly serious, the team will wait and see how he responds to on-field activities before deciding whether or not he'll play in Game 2. Isaac Collins would likely pick up a start in the outfield in Game 2 if Chourio isn't cleared to play.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Exits with injury
Rotowire
Chourio was removed from Saturday's NLDS Game 1 matchup against the Cubs with an apparent leg injury, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Chourio came up limping after legging out an infield single -- his third hit of the game -- in the second inning of Saturday's contest, and he was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. The nature of his injury is currently unknown, but it's worth noting that the young outfielder missed more than a month during the regular season due to a strained hamstring.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Battling hamstring tightness
Rotowire
Chourio exited Saturday's NLDS Game 1 matchup against the Cubs due to right hamstring tightness.
Chourio injured his hamstring while running to first base on an infield single in the second inning -- the same hamstring he had strained earlier in the season that forced him to miss the entire month of August. He's slated to undergo further evaluation after Saturday's contest, at which point more may be known regarding his status for the rest of the series. Before his removal, Chourio became the first player in MLB history to record three hits in the first two innings of a postseason game.
Chourio went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Reds.
The steal was his 20th of the season, giving Chourio his second straight 20-20 campaign to begin his big-league career. The 21-year-old outfielder is slumping heading into the postseason, however, going 1-for-20 over his last five games and slashing .188/.258/.294 through 98 plate appearances in September.
