Brewers’ Jackson Chourio Leaves NLDS Game 1 With Hamstring Tightness After Record Start

Milwaukee lists the injury as right hamstring tightness, leaving his status for Game 2 uncertain.

Overview

  • Chourio went 3-for-3 with three RBI in the first two innings, becoming the first MLB player to record three hits in the first two innings of a postseason game.
  • He pulled up after beating a bases-loaded infield single in the second inning and left following a visit from manager Pat Murphy and head athletic trainer Brad Epstein.
  • The Brewers announced right hamstring tightness, and Murphy said on the TBS broadcast it is the same hamstring that sidelined the 21-year-old for about a month earlier this season.
  • Isaac Collins pinch-ran for Chourio and stayed in left field as Milwaukee defeated the Cubs 9-3 to open the best-of-five series.
  • The team has not provided a timetable, so his availability for Monday’s Game 2 and the remainder of the NLDS will be determined after further evaluation.
