The Brewers positioned Jackson Chourio on the 10-day injured listing, retroactive to July 30, with a proper hamstring pressure. Brandon Lockridge, acquired from San Diego on Thursday within the Nestor Cortes commerce, has reported to the staff. Lockridge jumps into proper area and will get the nod on the prime of the lineup tonight towards Nationals southpaw Mitchell Parker.
Chourio suffered the harm on Tuesday towards the Cubs. He drilled a ball off the centerfield wall and legged out a triple. Chourio pulled up as he approached third base, and whereas he however made it there safely, he was instantly changed by pinch-runner Blake Perkins. Supervisor Pat Murphy advised reporters that the pressure is extra extreme than initially anticipated, through Curt Hogg of The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He’ll definitely be out longer than 10 days, and Murphy left open the opportunity of a month-plus-long absence.
Milwaukee just lately welcomed Sal Frelick again from his personal hamstring pressure. He’ll get the vast majority of the best area enjoying time, although he’s out of the lineup Friday night time towards the lefty starter Parker. Frelick’s return had initially pushed Perkins right into a fourth outfield position. He’s now in line for on a regular basis enjoying time in heart area. The switch-hitting Perkins missed many of the season due to a spring coaching shin fracture. He stole 23 bases with a .240/.316/.332 slash line a 12 months in the past. Chourio’s harm may’ve performed a task in Milwaukee’s determination so as to add the speedster Lockridge, a righty-hitting fourth outfielder with out a lot offensive upside.
Perkins is a succesful stopgap, however he clearly has a a lot decrease ceiling than Chourio presents. The 21-year-old is batting .276/.311/.474 with 29 doubles, 4 triples and 17 house runs. He was a bit inconsistent early within the 12 months, however he’d been on a tear (.367 with 4 homers and 12 extra-base hits) in July. The harm halts that scorching streak and can price him at the least just a few weeks because the Brewers battle the Cubs for the NL Central crown. They enter play Friday main Chicago by a half-game and narrowly maintain MLB’s greatest report at 64-44.
