UPDATE: The Milwaukee Brewers face a significant setback as star outfielder Jackson Chourio is sidelined for an additional two to four weeks due to a strained right hamstring. This news comes directly from Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who confirmed that Chourio, 21, is showing improvement after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection.
Chourio has not played since suffering the injury while running the bases on July 29, leaving fans anxious for his return. Currently, he boasts an impressive season record with a batting average of .276, including 17 homers, 67 RBIs, and 18 steals. The Brewers currently hold the best record in Major League Baseball at 68-44.
In other injury updates, rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who was scratched from his starting position due to a left tibia contusion, is making strides toward recovery. He completed a bullpen session today, and Murphy estimates that Misiorowski will be back on the mound by mid-August. So far, the 23-year-old has a solid record of 4-1 with 47 strikeouts across 33.1 innings this season.
Additionally, Shelby Miller, the newly acquired reliever from the Arizona Diamondbacks, is set to start a rehab assignment today at Triple-A Nashville as he recovers from a right flexor strain. Murphy anticipates Miller’s return in mid-August as well. Miller has been sidelined since July 5 due to an elbow injury and has posted a remarkable 1.98 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 36.1 innings this season.
As the Brewers navigate these injuries, fans are eager to see how the team adapts and performs in the coming weeks. With the playoffs on the horizon, every game counts, making these updates crucial for Milwaukee supporters.
