MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Milwaukee\u2019s Jackson Chourio<\/a> and Andrew Vaughn<\/a> are beginning rehabilitation assignments with hopes of being activated from the injured list by Monday.<\/p>\n

Both players are expected to fly to Nashville \u2014 the home of the Brewers\u2019 Triple-A affiliate \u2014 on Tuesday night as they recover from fractured left hands. Chourio hasn\u2019t played<\/a> at all this season, while Vaughn appeared in just one game before going on the injured list.<\/p>\n

Chourio was hit by a pitch from Washington\u2019s Clayton Beeter while playing for Venezuela\u2019s World Baseball Classic team in a March 4 exhibition with the Nationals at West Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old outfielder missed Venezuela\u2019s first two World Baseball Classic games but returned to the lineup and helped his home country win the title. When Chourio felt bothered while attempting a check swing in late March, an MRI revealed a small hairline fracture at the base of the third metacarpal.<\/p>\n

Chourio batted .270 with a .308 on-base percentage, 21 homers, 78 RBIs and 21 steals in 131 games.<\/p>\n

Vaughn, 28, hit .308 with a .375 on-base percentage, nine homers and 46 RBIs in 64 games with the Brewers after they acquired him<\/a> from the Chicago White Sox last season. He had hit just .189 with a .218 on-base percentage, five homers ad 19 RBIs in 48 games with the White Sox.<\/p>\n

The Brewers have struggled to produce much power with Chourio, Vaughn and Christian Yelich<\/a> all on the injured list. Yelich has an adductor strain and is expected to return in mid to late May.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee entered its Tuesday matchup with Arizona having not homered in its last seven games. That represents the Brewers\u2019 longest stretch without a homer since 1999, when they went a franchise-record 13 straight games without going deep.<\/p>\n
