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.

Rotowire
Chourio (hamstring) is running at 75 percent intensity with no issues, and the plan is for him to begin a rehab assignment later this month, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Chourio has been sidelined with a strained hamstring since July 29, and he was given a recovery timeline of 2-to-4 weeks last Tuesday. If the plan is to start a rehab assignment in late August, as McCalvy reports, Chourio may not be seen in the Milwaukee lineup for another 2-to-3 weeks.

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.
