Jackson Chourio<\/a>\u2018s 2026 debut may be delayed by at least a few more days, as the outfielder fouled a ball off his left ankle during a Triple-A rehab game on Saturday.\u00a0 \u201cWe got an X-ray on it right away and thank God it\u2019s negative,\u201d Brewers manager Pat Murphy told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel\u2019s Todd Rosiak<\/a> and other reporters, though \u201cwe\u2019ve got to see how he progresses.\u00a0 Today\u2019s going to be a critical day.\u201d<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t uncommon to see players placed on the injured list in these instances, as even if a foul ball may not fracture or break anything, there can often be lingering soreness for days afterwards.\u00a0 Given Chourio\u2019s importance to the Brewers, the team isn\u2019t likely to rush anything in terms of his return, even if that means Chourio spends more time in Triple-A or his official rehab period is halted entirely.<\/p>\n

Chourio knows all too well how a seemingly innocuous injury can linger, as x-rays were also negative on his left hand when he was hit by a pitch during a World Baseball Classic exhibition on March 4.\u00a0 The outfielder went onto play in the WBC and for the Brewers during the rest of Spring Training, but some additional soreness led to a check-up MRI just prior to Opening Day, and a new diagnosis of a minor hairline fracture.<\/p>\n

As such, Chourio has yet to see any big league action this year, and he was already beyond the initial recovery timeline of 2-to-4 weeks.\u00a0 Monday was expected to be his activation date from the 10-day IL, before that errant foul ball delivered another setback.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t all bad news for the start of tomorrow\u2019s series with the Cardinals, however, as Andrew Vaughn<\/a> is expected to be activated from the 10-day IL.\u00a0 Vaughn\u2019s 2026 campaign consists of just one game, as he sustained a hamate bone injury on Opening Day that required surgery.\u00a0 His recovery process hasn\u2019t hit any snags, so he\u2019ll return within the usual 4-to-6 week timeline associated to hamate surgeries.<\/p>\n

After being dealt from the White Sox to the Brewers last June, Vaughn\u2019s bat came to life, as he hit .308\/.375\/.493 with nine home runs in 254 plate appearances with his new club.\u00a0 Jake Bauers<\/a> has done decently well while getting most of the first base playing time in Vaughn\u2019s absence, but naturally Milwaukee\u2019s lineup will benefit from getting closer to full strength.<\/p>\n

It also looks like Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> may have dodged a bullet after leaving his last start due to a hamstring cramp.\u00a0 Misiorowski came out a running drill yesterday feeling fine, but Murphy cautioned that the Brew Crew won\u2019t be fully comfortable with the right-hander\u2019s status until he throws without any discomfort.\u00a0 If all goes well, Misiorowski should line up to make his next start on Wednesday in St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Brandon Woodruff<\/a>\u2018s placement on the 15-day IL on Friday already left Milwaukee\u2019s rotation even more short-handed, as Quinn Priester<\/a> has yet to pitch this season due to a nerve problem in his throwing shoulder.\u00a0 The Brewers turned to Logan Henderson<\/a> for the spot start today in Woodruff\u2019s place, and Henderson delivered a quality start in the 3-2 loss to the Nationals.\u00a0 Henderson allowed two runs on three hits over six innings of work, while recording eight strikeouts and zero walks.<\/p>\n

Henderson\u2019s young career has been plagued by injuries to date, and he has logged only 302 1\/3 pro innings (269 in the minors, 33 1\/3 in the majors) since he was a fourth-round pick for Milwaukee in the fourth round of the 2021 draft.\u00a0 The right-hander made his MLB debut last season in the form of 25 1\/3 innings, but his rookie year was cut short by elbow inflammation in early August.\u00a0 While the Brewers will continue to be careful with Henderson\u2019s innings, today\u2019s start might well earn him more looks in the big league rotation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jackson Chourio\u2018s 2026 debut may be delayed by at least a few more days, as the outfielder fouled…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2290],"tags":[1749,5,3875,11714,10679],"class_list":{"0":"post-689795","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baseball","8":"tag-andrew-vaughn","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-jackson-chourio","11":"tag-jacob-misiorowski","12":"tag-logan-henderson"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116514383682866420","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=689795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=689795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=689795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=689795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
