WASHINGTON – There's a lot of "wait and see" surrounding some of the Milwaukee Brewers' key contributors.

Outfielder Jackson Chourio, who was expected to return to the lineup on May 4 when the team opens a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, now finds himself in a holding pattern after hitting a ball off his left foot in a minor-league rehab game at Class AAA Nashville on May 2.

"Fouled the ball off his left ankle and missed (his protective guard)," manager Pat Murphy said. "And you know, those things can be very painful. We got an X-ray on it right away and thank God it's negative.

"We've got to see how he progresses. Today's going to be a critical day."

Chourio has been out all season while recovering from a hairline fracture in his left hand.

First baseman Andrew Vaughn, also in Nashville on rehab as he recovered from left hand surgery, remains on track to be reinstated from the injured list Monday.
