Overview
- Manager Pat Murphy said imaging on Chourio’s right hamstring was inconclusive and described the issue as not serious yet potentially limiting.
- Chourio underwent on-field testing during Sunday’s off-day workout, and the team will shut him down if he reports any discomfort.
- The 21-year-old left Game 1 after feeling tightness while running to first, having gone 3-for-3 with three RBIs in the first two innings.
- Chourio missed nearly a month in the summer with a strain to the same hamstring, raising concern about re-aggravation.
- Murphy named Aaron Ashby as the Game 2 opener and indicated Isaac Collins would most likely fill Chourio’s lineup spot if needed, while the Cubs start left-hander Shota Imanaga.
