Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio and first baseman Andrew Vaughn are both set to begin rehab ​assignments with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday ‌ahead of projected May 4 returns to the major league level, the team announced Tuesday.

Both Chourio and Vaughn have been sidelined ‌since ​at least Opening Day ⁠with broken bones in ⁠their left hands.

Chourio was placed on the injured list the day of the first game of the season ​due to a fractured bone at the base of his middle finger ⁠which occurred on ⁠a hit-by-pitch during a World ​Baseball Classic warmup game. He’s hit .272 with ​42 homers, 64 doubles and 157 RBIs ‌the last two seasons for the Brewers.

Vaughn sustained a broken hamate bone in Milwaukee’s Opening Day win over ⁠the Chicago White Sox. Acquired at the trade deadline last season from Chicago, Vaughn hit .308 ⁠with nine ‌homers and 46 RBIs ⁠in 64 games with Milwaukee ​in ‌2025.

The Brewers, who have won ​the National ⁠League Central each of the last three years, are in last place of the competitive division at 14-13 just over a month into the regular season.
