Brewers Lose Chourio, Gain Perkins for Opening Day

On March 26th, the Milwaukee Brewers are set to kick off their 2026 season on opening

day against the Chicago White Sox, but they'll be.

Missing their star outfielder, Jackson Turio, right from the start.

The team plays Turio on the 10-day injured list, with a fractured left hand he suffered

during the World Baseball Classic while winning a Championship with team Venezuela.

In his place, they've recalled outfielder Jack Perkins from AAA A Nashville.

That injury means Turio could sit out two to four weeks, a tough hit for a guy who's

batted 270 over two big league seasons with 42.

Home runs, 157 RBIs, and 43 stolen bases.

He's been a true 2020 threat both years, including 21 homers and 21 steals last season.

Brewers officials expect him back on the earlier side if all goes well, but they're playing

it safe to avoid any setbacks, knowing how crucial he is.

With Turio eyeing a strong return, Milwaukee's push to repeat as National League's central

champs looks even more promising once he's swinging again.
