Injured Chourio Starts for Brewers in Crucial NLDS Game 2
6 Oct
Summary
- Brewers outfielder Chourio left Game 1 with hamstring injury
- Chourio will start Game 2 despite inconclusive MRI results
- Chourio had a historic 3-hit performance in Game 1 before injury
On October 6th, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers face a crucial Game 2 of their National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs. Heading into the matchup, the Brewers received some concerning news about their young star outfielder, Jackson Chourio.
Chourio, who left Game 1 with a tweaked right hamstring, is set to lead off and play in his usual left field spot for the Brewers in Game 2. Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters that Chourio's MRI results were "inconclusive," leaving his status as a game-time decision. However, Murphy expressed confidence in Chourio's ability to contribute, saying, "I'm more worried about behavior than feelings. How he feels isn't as important as how he behaves."
The 20-year-old Chourio had a historic performance in the series opener, recording three hits in the first two innings, including an RBI infield single. It was on that play that he felt discomfort in his right hamstring, the same one that cost him nearly all of August this season.
Despite the lingering concerns, the Brewers are hopeful Chourio can overcome the mental hurdle and provide a spark for the team in this crucial Game 2 matchup. The young outfielder has already made his mark on the postseason, hitting two home runs in the Brewers' wild-card series victory over the New York Mets.
