Jaison Chourio Dealing With Shoulder Injury At High-A
Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Jaison Chourio injured his right shoulder during an at-bat back on May 3, and although he finished the AB, he was removed from the game afterward. The switch-hitter has not appeared in a game for High-A Lake County since then, however, no update on his status has been provided. The 19-year-old had a great season at Single-A last year, slashing .269/.414/.398 with five home runs, 44 steals, a .395 wOBA, and a 144 wRC+, but High-A was proving a bit more challenging this year. The 6-foot-1 slugger was hitting just .214 through 21 games, but was still getting on base thanks to his ability to draw walks, registering an impressive 17:21 K:BB in 91 PA. Chourio isn't expected to make it to the majors for a couple of years, but with solid contact ability, a keen eye, and a penchant for stealing bases, this injury is something to monitor in the event it jeopardizes his timeline at all.
