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: 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: 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.

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: Receiving break Sunday
Rotowire
Chourio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Chourio started the past seven games after being reinstated from the injured list last weekend, and he'll get a breather Sunday after collecting just one hit in his past 18 at-bats. Blake Perkins is manning center field and batting seventh in the series finale for Milwaukee.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Slugs 19th homer
Rotowire
Chourio went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Pirates.
The center fielder took Evan Sisk deep in the eighth inning for some insurance runs. Chourio had been battling hamstring cramping this week, leading to an 0-for-14 skid to begin September, but Saturday's long ball is a good sign he's back to 100 percent. The 21-year-old is one homer and two steals away from a second straight 20-20 campaign to begin his career, but Chourio has yet to even attempt to steal a base in seven games since recovering from a hamstring strain and coming off the IL in late August.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Sitting due to hamstring cramp
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Chourio will be out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies after the outfielder reported some cramping in his hamstring following Monday's 10-8 loss in the series opener, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. "Nothing to worry about...I just thought, be cautious here a little bit, because we need him," Murphy said.
Chourio missed a month of action due to a right hamstring strain before he returned from the injured list Saturday and went 6-for-12 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, four runs and two RBI in his first three games back in the lineup. The 21-year-old felt some stiffness in the hamstring while playing on the turf in Toronto over the weekend and didn't quite feel 100 percent Monday, so the Brewers decided it was a prudent move to give Chourio a two-day break, as Tuesday was a team off day. Murphy didn't seem to suggest that Chourio was dealing with any sort of setback or aggravation with the hamstring, so the expectation is that Chourio will be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Returns from IL
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Chourio (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday.
Chourio landed on the injured list toward the end of July due to a strained right hamstring, and after five rehab games at Triple-A Nashville, he's now been given the green light to reclaim an everyday role in Milwaukee's outfield. Although the 21-year-old went just 1-for-19 with two walks and eight strikeouts during his time in the minors, he had been slashing .386/.438/.591 in the second half prior to his injury. To make room for Chourio's return, Brandon Lockridge was optioned to Nashville.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Struggles on rehab assignment
Rotowire
Chourio (hamstring) has gone just 1-for-19 with an 8:2 K:BB in five rehab games with Triple-A Nashville.
The results at the plate for Chourio on his rehab assignment have not been there, but the good news is he played through the top of the 10th inning of Nashville's extra-inning loss to Charlotte on Wednesday. That could be the final step he needed to take before being reinstated from the 10-day injured list, as he was off Thursday and is expected to rejoin the Brewers for their weekend series in Toronto. Chourio has been shelved since late July with a strained right hamstring.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Could return this weekend
Rotowire
Chourio (hamstring) will play seven innings in the outfield during his rehab game with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and could rejoin the Brewers as soon as this weekend's three-game series in Toronto, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The 21-year-old was a bit tentative while running the bases during his rehab game Sunday, so Milwaukee has elected to continue the minor-league assignment for at least a few more days. If Chourio can further ramp up and play in a full game with no issues, he should have a chance to come off the injured list to face the Blue Jays.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Not ready to return quite yet
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that Chourio (hamstring) will remain on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville for a few more days before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Murphy noted that Chourio looked tentative while running the bases on a double during a rehab game Sunday, so the club will keep the outfielder at Nashville for a little while longer until he's able to run at full effort without worrying about his right hamstring. Chourio could be ready to go for the opening game of the Brewers' road trip Friday in Toronto, but that will depend on how he looks and feels in his rehab games between now and then.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Starting rehab assignment Friday
Rotowire
Chourio (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Chourio has been ramping up his running as he works his way back from a strained right hamstring, and he will test the leg out in a game setting this weekend. Barring a setback, the young outfielder should be activated from the 10-day injured list sometime next week. Chourio has been shelved since late July.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Expected back in 2-to-4 weeks
Rotowire
Chourio's right hamstring strain has responded well to treatment, and the outfielder is expected to return in 2-to-4 weeks, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Chourio was injured one week ago, but he has bounced back well following a platelet-rich plasma injection. The young outfielder will have numerous boxes he needs to check before rejoining the Brewers' lineup, but it sounds like he will have a good chance to return before the end of August.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: IL move official
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Chourio on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 30, due to a right hamstring strain.
Chourio's injury was initially announced as a hamstring spasm after he departed Tuesday's win against the Cubs, but he's since been diagnosed with a strain. GM Matt Arnold said Thursday that the move is a precautionary measure, so it seems the 21-year-old outfielder will have a chance to return when first eligible Aug. 9. Trade acquisition Brandon Lockridge was added to the active roster in a corresponding move, though it'll likely be Blake Perkins that operates as Milwaukee's primary center fielder due to Chourio being sidelined.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Bound for IL
Rotowire
Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Thursday that Chourio (hamstring) is expected to land on the injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
After departing Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Cubs due to what the Brewers termed as a right hamstring spasm, Chourio sat out Wednesday's 10-3 loss in the series finale. The outfielder apparently didn't bounce back from the off day as well as Milwaukee had hoped, and his injury is now being classified as a hamstring strain. According to Arnold, Chourio's upcoming placement on the IL is out of an abundance of caution, with the GM adding that he's not expecting the 21-year-old to be in line for an extended absence. The Brewers acquired Brandon Lockridge from the Padres on Thursday, and he's expected to join the 26-man active roster as Chourio's replacement ahead of Friday's game in Washington. Lockridge and Blake Perkins could split time in center field while Chourio is out.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Battling hamstring spasms
Rotowire
Chourio exited Tuesday's game versus the Cubs with right hamstring spasms.
Chourio's hamstring began bothering him while he ran into third base after hitting a triple in the fifth inning. While it appears the 21-year-old avoided a significant injury, the Brewers may err on the side of caution and sit him down for a day or two so he can recover properly.

Meanwhile, Blake Perkins figures to be the next man up if Chourio needs to miss any starts in center field.
