Jackson Chourio Out For Game 2 After Injuring His Ankle
3 months agoMilwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio (ankle) will not play in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park after he rolled his right ankle in Game 1. Chourio will receive some treatment and more tests as a precaution, but it sounds like the Brewers think he avoided a long-term injury. Milwaukee is going with Sal Frelick, Blake Perkins and Garrett Mitchell from left to right, respectively, in the nightcap. The 20-year-old injured his ankle running to first base in the fifth inning earlier on Friday but remained in the contest and went 2-for-5 with a double and a strikeout out of the leadoff spot in the 10-inning win. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Chourio is out on Saturday, but as of now, the impressive rookie shouldn't be forced to miss extended time.
