Guardians' Jaison Chourio: Out for season with fractured wrist
Chourio will miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with a fractured left wrist, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. Single-A Lynchburg placed him on the 7-day injured list Monday.
Chourio suffered the injury Saturday while diving for a ball during a game with Lynchburg. The 19-year-old slashed .270/.414/.398 with five home runs and 44 stolen bases across 98 games with Lynchburg this season. Chourio should have a relatively normal offseason after recovering from the fractured wrist.

Guardians' Jaison Chourio: Speed, patience at Single-A
Chourio is hitting .271 with a .391 on-base percentage, three home runs and 19 steals in 53 games for Single-A Lynchburg.
The speedy center fielder has more walks (39) than strikeouts (38), and while he won't be mistaken for a slugger, his .130 ISO and 39.6 percent pull rate are career highs. Chourio has never had a groundball rate below 50 percent, and that mark sits at 52.6 percent for the Hillcats, which is suppressing his power output.

Guardians' Jaison Chourio: Climbs to Single-A
Chourio is hitting .200 with zero home runs, one steal and 13 strikeouts in seven games since getting promoted to Single-A Lynchburg on Aug. 24.
The 18-year-old younger brother of Brewers phenom Jackson Chourio was an outstanding table setter in the Arizona Complex League before getting promoted, so his first season stateside will still be considered a big success. Chourio slashed .349/.476/.463 with one home run and 19 steals in 39 ACL games, thanks partially to an inflated .451 BABIP. Chourio's command of the strike zone and speed stand out as clear strengths, but his 54.1 percent groundball rate and 42.1 percent opposite-field rate against complex pitchers suggest he has a long way to go before notable game power is a reality.
