Chourio joins Rhys Hoskins on assignment to Nashville, where the first baseman has been since Aug. 19 after suffering a sprained left thumb on July 6. The expectation, as of now, is Chourio's return could precede Hoskins', though the outfielder has his fair share of boxes to check, too.

"Brewers medical updates: Jackson Chourio is completing baserunning, hitting and defensive work without issue. Rehab assignment at Class AAA Nashville to commence on Friday," wrote Todd Rosiak of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
