Brewers Injury News & Notes: Updates on Chourio, Vaughn, Misiorowski, Zerpa, and more
TL;DR
The Milwaukee Brewers are dealing with multiple injury updates, including Jackson Chourio's delayed return and Jacob Misiorowski's potential start. Angel Zerpa is considering Tommy John surgery, while other players like Andrew Vaughn and Christian Yelich are on the mend.
Key points
- Jackson Chourio's X-rays were negative, but return is delayed.
- Jacob Misiorowski may pitch in the next game after cramp.
- Angel Zerpa is considering Tommy John surgery.
- Christian Yelich targets a mid- to late May return.
- **Jacob Misiorowski**, who exited Friday night’s game in Washington with a cramp after 5 1/3 no-hit innings, seemingly avoided a serious injury. The team officially has a TBD spot slated for Wednesday’s series finale in St. Louis, which would be Misiorowski’s turn through the rotation. We’ll see if he makes that start as scheduled or if he’s pushed back a few days to give him some precautionary rest. See a couple of quotes from Pat Murphy re: Miz below. (Note: the Brewers have an off day on Thursday before returning to action Friday in Milwaukee, so it wouldn’t be at all surprising if he took the ball in that one.)
- Todd Rosiak reported that Murphy also confirmed Sunday morning that **Angel Zerpa** is currently deciding whether or not to have Tommy John surgery. Zerpa, who went on the injured list earlier in the week with forearm tightness, will seemingly face a lengthy absence regardless. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
- After a foul ball off his foot/ankle Saturday night in Nashville, outfielder **Jackson Chourio**’s X-rays reportedly came back negative, good news for a guy who was expected to return to the majors on Monday. Based on the latest news, Chourio’s return may be delayed a few more days. First baseman **Andrew Vaughn**, who went on a rehab assignment alongside Chourio this week, is still expected to return Monday in St. Louis.
- **Brice Turang** was scratched from Sunday’s lineup shortly before first pitch with an illness. It’s unknown how serious the illness is, but we’ll likely see him at some point in St. Louis this week.
- While we’ve got you, a few more quick updates on other players on the IL:
- **Brandon Woodruff**, the latest addition to Milwaukee’s IL, is currently out with right shoulder inflammation after a short start with decreased velocity on Thursday. Given that an MRI showed no structural damage, Woodruff seems optimistic he’ll miss close to the minimum 15 days.
- **Quinn Priester** made another rehab start on Friday with Triple-A Nashville, though he continues to struggle with command — a common issue among players returning from thoracic outlet syndrome. Over five total innings in three rehab appearances, Priester has allowed nine runs on seven hits, eight walks, and two hit batters, striking out five on 136 pitches. He threw 62 pitches in Friday’s appearance, though he allowed five runs in that one. He’s expected to make at least a few more rehab starts, meaning he won’t be back in the majors until at least mid-May.
