Brewers' Jackson Chourio Exits NLDS Game 1 With Right Hamstring Tightness After Record Start

The 21-year-old underwent an MRI to assess a possible recurrence that clouds his status.

Overview

  • He became the first player to record three hits within the first two innings of a postseason game before leaving in the second.
  • The issue arose after he beat out a bases-loaded grounder and moved awkwardly past first base, with Isaac Collins pinch-running and remaining in left field for his postseason debut.
  • The Brewers described the problem as tightness in the same right hamstring tendon that cost him roughly a month after a July 29 strain.
  • Manager Pat Murphy said Chourio underwent an MRI and called the situation scary with no recovery timetable yet.
  • Chourio said he has not been given a diagnosis and feels physically fine to keep competing as the team awaits evaluation results.
