Brewers Announce Jackson Chourio News After Leaving Cubs Game

Brewers Announce Jackson Chourio News After Leaving Cubs Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Outfielder Jackson Chourio is in his second season with the Milwaukee Brewers after making his MLB debut last year.

The 21-year-old star signed a record-breaking contract with the Brewers in December 2023. The eight-year, $82 million deal contains club options for 2032 and 2033, which would make it a 10-year deal worth as much as $130 million. The contract was the largest ever signed by a player before he appeared in the big leagues.

Chourio quickly proved his value as an offensive threat at the top of Milwaukee’s order, making his contract look like a steal. He finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting and 22nd in MVP voting, playing a key role in Milwaukee capturing its third NL Central title in four seasons.

In the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game against the division rival Chicago Cubs, Chourio left the game with an injury immediately after hitting a triple.

Moments later, the team announced on X, “Jackson Chourio left tonight's game with a right hamstring spasm.”

Chourio has continued to deliver in his second year with Milwaukee and losing him for any extended stretch would be a major blow. In 105 games this season, he has a .274 batting average, .777 OPS, 17 home runs and 18 stolen bases. He’s been especially hot in July, batting .356 with a .975 OPS, four home runs and 17 RBIs over 22 games.

The Brewers (63-43) entered Tuesday’s game against the Cubs with the best mark in Major League Baseball.
