Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins and rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio will both start on the bench on Thursday in the series finale against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. Jake Bauers is starting at first base and batting sixth, while Blake Perkins will make his fifth straight start in center field and hit in the nine-hole against Pirates rookie right-hander Paul Skenes. Hoskins, 31, went 4-for-25 with three home runs and six RBI while starting each of the last seven games, so he'll just be getting a normal day of rest in the difficult matchup. The 20-year-old Chourio started each of the previous six games and has been on a heater offensively since June 23, going 18-for-53 (.340) with two homers, five doubles, nine RBI, five walks, two steals and 12 runs scored. After a slow start in his first MLB season, Chourio is now up to nine long balls, 35 RBI, 10 steals and 39 runs scored.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 2-for-3 with a single and his first career grand slam in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cubs. The slam was all the scoring the Brewers would muster in the game but it proved to be enough to win it. It was also Chourio's ninth home run of the season and extended his modest hit streak to five games, going 8-for-17 (.471) over that stretch. June has been a good month for the rookie, posting a .318-4-17-12-1 line in 21 games. Hopefully this is more of what we'll see for the rest of the season for the budding star.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 2-for-4 in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Texas Rangers, tallying his eighth home run of the season. Chourio hit an inside-the-park homer to center field off Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, knotting the game at five runs apiece in the fourth inning. The 20-year-old top prospect has picked it up in June after looking overmatched at the plate for most of the year, slashing .302/.348/.492 with three long balls, three doubles, 13 RBI, and two stolen bases over 63 at-bats this month. Chourio is worth a look if he's hanging around fantasy waiver wires in shallow leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio was 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk during Monday's 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The 20-year-old smoked a Jose Berrios slurve over the left field wall for his seventh homer of the season. It has been a rocky rookie season for Chourio as the highlights have been coupled with prolonged slumps. He is slashing .220/.263/.363 with 22 RBI, 24 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 57 games. The Brewers continue to give him regular playing time which is the only reason to roster him in redraft leagues at this point. He is batting .300 with two homers in June, so maybe a hot streak is around the corner.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Chourio put the Brewers up for good with his second-inning dinger, his sixth of the season. Although it's been a struggle for Chourio in his rookie season, he has been able to showcase some of the outstanding tools he possesses on occasion. His six homers and seven swipes puts him close to a 20/20 pace, even with a .217 AVG and .602 OPS. The talent is there, but it's hard to trust him enough to start him in any fantasy format right now.
Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio will take a seat for Thursday's contest against the visiting division-rival Chicago Cubs. Chourio will get a day off after starting in each of the team's last three games. The 20-year-old has struggled in his first exposure to big-league pitching in 2024, as he's currently slashing .210/.254/.327 with five home runs, four doubles, 16 RBI and seven stolen bases in his first 49 games with the Brewers. The Venezuelan outfielder hasn't been all that much better in May and is essentially on the short side of a platoon at the moment in the outfield with Sal Frelick. Chourio is going to get his chances to turn things around, though, and he's still useful in fantasy leagues for his speed when he's in the lineup. Sal Frelick is in right field and is hitting seventh on Thursday against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon.
Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Jackson Chourio remains out of the team's starting lineup on Friday as the club faces the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. It's the third straight game that the struggling 20-year-old has started on the bench for the Brew Crew since Christian Yelich returned from the injured list. Blake Perkins is starting in center field for Milwaukee and will hit seventh against Cardinals veteran right-hander Lance Lynn. Chourio is going to be back in the starting lineup at some point, but right now he's the odd man out after starting the year with a .205/.275/.387 slash line while adding four home runs, 13 RBI, six stolen bases and 14 runs scored in his first 33 games in the big leagues. Fantasy managers should keep Chourio on their benches until he gets going.
Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the rookie outfielder. Chourio has looked better lately, going 6-for-19 over the last week. In his absence, Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick, and Jake Bauers will cover the outfield during Thursday's game against Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray.
Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio will take another day off on Friday for the series opener against the division-rival Chicago Cubs. Infielder Joey Ortiz is also starting on the bench. Chourio is now on the bench for the second straight game as he tries to get through a slump after a strong start to his first MLB season. The 20-year-old is hitting .140/.196/.233 with no homers or RBI and 12 strikeouts in 31 plate appearances in his last 10 games since April 16 to drop his season line to .206/.257/.351 on the season. The Brewers aren't giving up on the talented Venezuelan outfielder, but hopefully the little break will get him going. Jake Bauers is getting another start in left field and is hitting fifth on Friday against Cubs right-hander Hayden Wesneski.
Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio isn't in the team's starting lineup against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. With Chourio starting on the bench in this one, Sal Frelick, who is starting in right field, will man the leadoff spot in the Brewers' batting order. Jake Bauers also draws into the lineup in left field and will man left field. The 20-year-old Chourio started his first major-league season strong, but he has since disappeared, going 4-for-29 (.138) with a double, no home runs, no RBI, one walk and 12 strikeouts in 10 games since April 21. The cold stretch has dropped his season line to .206/.257/.351 with four home runs, 13 RBI and five stolen bases in 97 at-bats. After an off day on Thursday, hopefully Chourio can get going on Friday in the series opener against the division-rival Chicago Cubs.
