Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, Caleb Durbin All Sitting On Thursday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio, catcher William Contreras and rookie infielder Caleb Durbin are all getting a breather in Thursday's series finale against the San Francisco Giants. Christian Yelich is in left field and batting third, Rhys Hoskins is the designated hitter and batting cleanup, and Jake Bauers will start at first and hit fifth against Giants right-hander Landen Roupp. Vinny Capra is starting at third and hitting eighth, and Eric Haase is catching and in the nine-hole. Chourio has been slumping lately, going 6-for-42 in his last 10 games going into Thursday, so he'll receive a mental day. Contreras has been hot, picking up hits in 15 of his last 16 games. This will be only the second day off of the season for the 27-year-old backstop. Durbin made his MLB debut last Friday and has gone 6-for-23 with three RBI and four runs in his first six games with the Brewers.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 1-for-4 with a single in a 5-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Chourio is now hitting .260 with five homers, 17 runs, 19 RBI, and two steals across 100 at-bats. He has been in a bit of a slump at the plate of late, hitting just .179 with no homers and six strikeouts over his past seven games. That being said, Chourio posted a 20/20 season as a 20-year-old rookie in 2024 and should continue to show improvement in his second MLB season. Fantasy managers will want to stay patient with him as he works through his current slump.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three runs, and five RBI on Wednesday in a 17-2 win over the Rockies. This was his third straight multi-hit game and the second time he's collected five RBI in a game in that span. The youngster is now batting .315 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 10 runs, and one stolen base on the season. He looks to be building off of his strong second half in 2024 and is taking the step forward that many hoped for when devoting a second-round pick on fantasy in him.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio had a huge day at the plate in an 8-2 win over the Reds, hitting two homers and driving in five runs. The former top prospect started the season very cold but is now starting to turn things around. He is slashing .295/.289/.591 with three home runs, nine RBI, and six runs. He is looking to build off of his excellent rookie season where he hit .275 with 21 homers and 22 steals in 148 games. The youngster has a mix of power and speed that is extremely rare and could be a first-round draft pick in fantasy by 2026.
Jackson Chourio Picks Up Three Hits, First Homer In Extra-Innings Win
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio had a nice day on Wednesday in the team's 3-2 extra-inning win over the visiting Kansas City Royals at American Family Field. Chourio finished the team's second win of the year by going 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout to raise his early-season average to .286 and his OPS to .786. The 21-year-old outfielder put the Brewers on the board early with a solo shot off lefty starter Cole Ragans in the first inning, and he also tied the game up in the bottom of the 10th frame with his double. Fantasy managers might have been a little worried after Chourio went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts on Opening Day last Thursday against the New York Yankees, but he has quickly turned things around in the early going and now has four extra-base hits and four RBI in six games.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio is expected to see time in center field during the 2025 campaign. Chourio received the starting nod in center field during Tuesday's spring training contest and will likely continue to see starts during the spring. If the budding star performs well during the rest of camp, fantasy managers should expect him to see occasional time in center field during the regular season. Last summer, Chourio made his MLB debut and split time in right and left field. However, when moving up through the minors, he did see time in center field. Across 148 contests, the 20-year-old posted a .275/.327/.464 line with 21 home runs and 22 stolen bases. Given his ability to contribute to all five standard categories, he is viewed as a high-upside No. 2 OF in all formats.
Jackson Chourio Nearly Puts Brewers On His Back In Tough Loss
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio did his best to give his team a chance to win on Sunday, going 3-for-6 with a homer, a triple, and five RBI in an 11-10 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Chourio homered with two runners on in the fifth inning to put the Brewers back in the game and then tripled in the tenth inning to give the Crew a two-run lead. The 20-year-old (!) rookie has been a dynamo in the second half, and is now up to 21 homers, 20 steals, and an .808 OPS in his first year. He's gonna be a good one, and will be drafted very highly heading into next season.
Jackson Chourio Joins 20/20 Club With Clutch Homer
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio hit a two-run homer on Tuesday to join the 20/20 club and lead his team to a 3-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants. His homer came in the eighth inning with the crew up 1-0, so the runs were key insurance markers. Chourio is just the third 20-year-old to reach the elusive club, with the other two being Vada Pinson and Mike Trout. Good company to keep. The rookie phenom has been a solid five-category contributor in fantasy, and his stock should only continue to climb as he gets accustomed to the league.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio continued his torrid offensive second half in Monday's 9-3 win over the Cardinals. Chourio went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and three walks. The 20-year-old rookie clobbered a sixth-inning Riley O'Brien slider deep into the left-center seats to clear the bases for his 18th long ball of the season. The top prospect has put together a solid rookie season, mostly fueled by his second-half performance. Chourio has compiled a .338/.387/.594 slash line with nine HR, 32 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 160 second-half at-bats. All-in-all, Chourio has lived up to the hype and has an opportunity to continue to make a good first impression down the stretch.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk, two runs scored, and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Reds. The home run came in the top of the ninth of a tie ballgame and would prove to be the eventual game-winner. After a sluggish start to his major league career, finishing May with a .210/.254/.327 slashline, the 20-year-old phenom has gone on to slash .318/.367/.536 since June 1. The young Venezuelan now owns a .277-17-66-63-20 line with a .336 wOBA and 115 wRC+ on the year and is looking every bit the superstar the Brewers expected him to be when they signed him to an 8-year $82 million contract before ever playing a single major league game. He will be very pricey in next year's fantasy drafts.
