The hope that Jackson Chourio could avoid a stint on the injured list after leaving Tuesday’s victory with a hamstring “spasm” was mostly dashed yesterday, when Matt Arnold spoke to the press after the trade deadline and indicated that they would be “cautious.” Today, the team officially placed Chourio on the 10-day injured list, backdated to Wednesday, making his earliest return date as next Saturday, August 9th.
Chourio’s injury is a blow, as he has been the Brewer offense’s best player of late and, in case you have not heard, the team did not bolster their offensive firepower at this year’s trade deadline.
