Brewers' Chourio Tests Hamstring, Status Uncertain for NLDS Game 2 vs Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio made history in Game 1 of the NL Division Series against the Chicago Cubs by becoming the first player to record three hits in the first two innings of a postseason game. However, Chourio left the game in the second inning after experiencing tightness in his right hamstring, the same injury that sidelined him for much of the regular season. Although the MRI was inconclusive and the injury is not considered serious, his status for Game 2 remains uncertain, with the team cautious about aggravating the hamstring further. The Brewers dominated Game 1, winning 9-3 with a strong offensive showing and solid pitching from Freddy Peralta. Manager Pat Murphy expressed concern about Chourio's injury given its history, while Chourio himself remained optimistic about his condition. Game 2 is scheduled for Monday, with the Brewers aiming to continue their momentum against the Cubs.
