Jackson Chourio departs rehab game after hitting foul ball off his foot
Days before his expected activation to the Brewers roster, Jackson Chourio left his game early in Nashville.
An injury scare to a rehabbing Jackson Chourio was the last thing the Milwaukee Brewers wanted in the final days before activating him. And yet that's exactly what happened on May 2 in Nashville. Chourio departed the game for what the Brewers said were "precautionary reasons" shortly after fouling a ball off the top of his foot in the bottom of the third inning during a rehab game with the Class AAA Nashville Sounds.

He remained in the game to finish his at-bat, which ended in a strikeout looking, but was then removed prior to the top of the fourth.
Chourio was expected to be activated along with first baseman Andrew Vaughn for the Brewers contest May 4 in St. Louis. It remains to be seen if the foul ball will slow down that timeline for Chourio, while Vaughn remains on track.
