Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio has been out since July 29 with a strained hamstring, but he looks to be progressing in the right direction. Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Chourio has ramped up his running activities to 75% intensity and hopes to start a rehab assignment sometime in August.

That’s not great news, but it’s better than nothing, and the update is in line with the initial assessment of an extended injured-list stay. Hopefully, the sophomore slugger will be back by early next month. The counter to any concern, of course, is that the Brewers are doing just fine without him – as has been the case missing all their injured players.

Milwaukee Brewers injury report: Logan Henderson, Jacob Misiorowski, and Jake Bauers

Beat reporter Curt Hogg also delivered updates on several other injured Brewers.

For Henderson, the news is not so good, as Hogg estimates a timetable of late September or early October. In five starts this season, the rookie right-hander has 1.78 ERA and 33 strikeouts in just 25.1 innings. Called up to fill in , Tobias Myers lasted only 3.1 innings Saturday against the Mets, allowing two homeruns among five hits.

Hogg reports that Misiorowski, whom Henderson himself was called up to replace, could begin rehab as early as Friday following Tuesday’s bullpen session.

Assuming Misiorowski returns before Henderson, barring further late-season pitcher injuries, the latter seems unlikely to start another game for the Brewers in the regular season. Depending on when he is healthy again, the team may or may not elect to bring him along for the postseason in the bullpen.

Jake Bauers, who has not appeared in a game since July 18, will begin rehab on Thursday. Hitting just .197 this season, he may not see many opportunities at first base the rest of the year, where Andrew Vaughn has emerged as the clear-cut first option. The Brewers are also waiting on the return of Rhys Hoskins, who hit the injured list shortly before Bauers did.

At least until Chourio comes back, Bauers could see at bats here and there in the outfield. Decreasing his chances, however, manager Pat Murphy has shown himself willing to play Christian Yelich there, who has filled a more than adequate rotation along with Sal Frelick, Isaac Collins, and Blake Perkins. Milwaukee also likes what Brandon Lockridge brings; for Bauers, rumored on the trade block earlier this season, the reality is that he would be extremely fortunate to make the playoff roster.
