Brewers-Cubs: Milwaukee's Chourio A Game-Time Decision For Game 2

MILWAUKEE — Brewers rookie Jackson Chourio will be a game-time decision for game two of the National League Division Series on Monday night at American Family Field.

Chourio aggravated his right hamstring in Saturday’s 9–3 win over the Cubs and sat out the end of the game. An MRI was described as inconclusive, and the team has not committed to whether he’ll play. He ran lightly during Sunday’s workout but skipped batting practice and field drills.

Manager Pat Murphy said the decision will likely come down to how Chourio feels during pregame warmups, MLB.com reported.

If Chourio can’t go, the Brewers will turn to their depth in the outfield as they try to build on Saturday’s momentum. Left-hander Aaron Ashby will get the start for Milwaukee after throwing briefly in relief in Game 1, while the Cubs will counter with Shota Imanaga.

Game two begins at 8:08 p.m. CT and will air on TBS, truTV, and HBO Max. The series shifts to Wrigley Field for game three on Wednesday.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Brewers were -120 favorites over the Cubs (+102) for Game 2, with the over/under set at 8 runs.

FanDuel also has Milwaukee at +500 to win the World Series and –235 to win the NLDS, underscoring how oddsmakers still favor the Brewers even as Jackson Chourio’s status remains in question.
