Brewers activate OF Jackson Chourio ahead of game vs. Jays

The Milwaukee Brewers activated outfielder Jackson Chourio from the 10-day injured list on Saturday prior to the team's road game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Chourio had been sidelined since sustaining a strained right hamstring while legging out a triple in a 9-3 loss to the visiting Chicago Cubs on July 29.

Also on Saturday, the Brewers reinstated left-hander Robert Gasser from 60-day injured list and optioned both him and outfielder Brandon Lockridge to Triple-A Nashville. Gasser is working his way back since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2024.

Chourio, 21, is batting .276 with 17 home runs, 29 doubles, 67 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 106 games this season.

He finished third in the NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2024 after batting .275 with 21 homers, 79 RBIs and 22 steals in 148 games.

Gasser, 26, made his major league debut on May 10, 2024, and immediately impressed, posting a 2-0 record with a 2.57 ERA over five starts. In 28 innings, he struck out 16 and walked just one.

Lockridge, 28, batted .231 with 11 RBIs in 67 games this season split with the San Diego Padres and Brewers.
