Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Bound for IL

Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Thursday that Chourio (hamstring) is expected to land on the injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

After departing Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Cubs due to what the Brewers termed as a right hamstring spasm, Chourio sat out Wednesday's 10-3 loss in the series finale. The outfielder apparently didn't bounce back from the off day as well as Milwaukee had hoped, and his injury is now being classified as a hamstring strain. According to Arnold, Chourio's upcoming placement on the IL is out of an abundance of caution, with the GM adding that he's not expecting the 21-year-old to be in line for an extended absence. The Brewers acquired Brandon Lockridge from the Padres on Thursday, and he's expected to join the 26-man active roster as Chourio's replacement ahead of Friday's game in Washington. Lockridge and Blake Perkins could split time in center field while Chourio is out.
