Brewers' Jackson Chourio: In lineup despite thumb soreness
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Chourio is in Wednesday's lineup versus the Padres despite a sore thumb, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Murphy admitted to misspeaking when he said after Tuesday's 11-2 loss that Brice Turang was battling a sore thumb, as it's actually Chourio whose thumb is bothering him.

Though Chourio is back in left field and in the leadoff spot for Wednesday's series finale, his thumb injury will be monitored closely.
