Overview
- Milwaukee cleared outfielder Jackson Chourio and first baseman Andrew Vaughn to start rehabilitation assignments with Triple-A Nashville.
- The team expects to activate both early next week after short tune-ups in the minors.
- Chourio’s injury is a small hairline fracture at the base of his third metacarpal that followed a March hit-by-pitch during a World Baseball Classic tune-up.
- Vaughn broke his left hamate on Opening Day, had surgery, and appeared in only one game before going on the injured list.
- The Brewers’ power has sagged during their absences, with a seven-game homerless stretch and a share of last place in MLB with 19 home runs, as Christian Yelich also sits with an adductor strain.
