Brewers Facing Decision After Unfortunate Jackson Chourio News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Brewers are entering a pivotal stretch of the season, locked in a closely contested race for first place with the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.

WASHINGTON — The news on Jackson Chourio isn't getting any better. Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy spoke about his star 21-year-old outfielder before his team's series opener at Nationals Park on August 1, where Chourio was notably absent as he landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring.

Chourio, 21, suffered the injury on Tuesday while legging out a triple. In his first 106 games this season, he had hit .276/.311/.474 (119 OPS+) with 17 home runs and 18 stolen bases. His contributions had been worth an estimated 2.3 Wins Above Replacement, according to the calculations housed at Baseball Reference.
