Brewers Star Jackson Chourio Reveals Injury Update Before Crucial NLCS

As the Milwaukee Brewers gear up to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, their key player, Jackson Chourio, shared an update on his injury status. The 21-year-old outfielder recently recovered from a strained right hamstring, which had sidelined him for nearly a month during the regular season.

Chourio’s Performance and Injury Update

After returning, Chourio initially struggled, batting just .200. Nevertheless, his performance improved significantly in the NLDS. He exited Game 1 in the second inning due to hamstring tightness, but returned to help his team advance by hitting .389, including a home run and six RBIs.

When asked about his recovery, Chourio expressed optimism. “I feel good, and every day I’m getting closer to full health,” he stated. He is confident about his improvement and expects to reach 100 percent soon.

Impact on Defense and Baserunning

Chourio reassured fans about his defensive capabilities, noting that his performance hasn’t suffered. He ranks in the 81st percentile in Outs Above Average and boasts a sprint speed in the 93rd percentile, according to Baseball Savant. However, he admitted to being more cautious on the bases due to his injury, but he is optimistic about returning to full strength soon.

Brewers’ NLCS Expectations

Milwaukee’s last NLCS appearance against the Dodgers ended in a loss, with Los Angeles advancing to the World Series. This NLCS offers the Brewers a chance at redemption and an opportunity to reach the World Series for the first time since 1982.
