Brewers Place Star Outfielder Chourio on Injured List with Hamstring Strain

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain suffered while running the bases on a triple. The injury, initially considered minor, is now expected to keep Chourio out for an extended period as he undergoes platelet-rich plasma treatment and rehabilitation. Chourio, a key player for the Brewers who are currently leading the NL Central, was hitting .276 with 17 homers, 67 RBIs, and 18 steals, and had been on a 22-game on-base streak before the injury. To fill the gap, the Brewers acquired outfielder Brandon Lockridge from the San Diego Padres, who was inserted into the leadoff spot in Chourio's absence. Brewers management emphasized caution in Chourio's recovery, highlighting his value to the team and the need for patience. This injury comes as the Brewers maintain the best record in Major League Baseball, despite losing the game immediately following Chourio's exit.
