Jackson Chourio's Comeback: Brewers Fans Rejoice

0:00On April 21st, Brewer's outfielder, Jackson Churrio, is making real progress on his comeback from a fractured bone in his left middle finger. The 22-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since opening day, but over the past four days he's been swinging pain-free with flips and off a tee. He's even ditching that red light therapy glove soon, calling it just extra insurance. Next up, barring any hiccups, Churrio hits on the field this Wednesday afternoon during the Brewer's Tiger series at Comerica Park. Manager Pat Murphy says a minorly rehab stint could start as early as the weekend, paving the way for a return to the big league lineup sometime. In May, Churrio's feeling optimistic, saying he's happy to be back at the plate and views the downtime as a chance to get his body stronger overall. The injury happened from a hit-by-pitch and a world-based ball-classic tune-up, with X-rays missing it at first until a setback right before opening day. The Brewer's have felt the sting without him, especially alongside Andrew Vaughan after

1:01left Hamat surgery and Christian Yelich, nursing a left-growing, strain. Murphy admits it's a daily grind missing those key line of spots, and Vaughan's also swinging again, but needs time for his incision and strength too, rebuilt. With Churrio on track and the team pushing forward, Milwaukee fans can start counting down to that full-strength offense hitting it stride.
