Jackson Chourio Fractures Hand, Out for Brewers' Opener

0:00It's March 26, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Milwaukee Brewer's news today, AI-powered updates on your squad. Milwaukee Brewer's outfielder, Jackson Cheerio, is sidelined after hurting his left hand during the World Baseball Classic. The team put the young star on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, March 26. He got hit by a pitch while playing for Venezuela, the eventual tournament champs. Cheerio pushed through the rest of the classic, and even suited up for four spring training games with the Brewer's. But when he started feeling discomfort, an MRI uncovered the fracture. This injury means Cheerio will sit out two to four weeks, right as the regular season kicks off. Fans are bummed since he's a key part of the lineup. To fill the roster spot, the Brewer's called up outfielder, Blake Perkins, from AAA A Nashville. We'll hear more details soon from Cheerio, team president Matt Arnold, and manager Pat Murphy, when they talk to reporters today.
