Chourio recently went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBIs in a win over the Mets and scored the winning run in a ninth-inning rally against the Dodgers while playing through a thumb injury.

Jackson Chourio coverage
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (85-51) vs. Texas Rangers (66-70)
The Brewers seek to complete a sweep of the Rangers with Dustin May on the mound against Kumar Rocker. May has been inconsistent since joining Milwaukee from the Cardinals, posting a 1-1 record with a 5.87 ERA over four starts, though his command and ability to generate swings and misses remain concerns. Rocker, the 2022 third overall pick, carries a 4.41 ERA but has particularly struggled against teams that see many pitches per plate appearance—the Brewers rank second in baseball in that category. The Brewers will deploy a modified lineup with Jackson Chourio batting cleanup in place of William Contreras, with first pitch scheduled for 1:10 p.m.
Brew Crew BallWhat makes Jackson Chourio’s 20-homer season streak even more impressive
Jackson Chourio reached 20 home runs for the third time in his career at age 22, joining an elite group that includes Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, and Juan Soto. What makes the achievement particularly remarkable is that Chourio has reached the 20-homer mark in each of his first three MLB seasons despite missing significant time to injuries in both 2025 and 2026. In his 2024 rookie season, he hit 21 homers despite a slow start and reduced at-bats in May and June, and in 2025 he surpassed 20 homers even after missing a month with a hamstring strain.

MLB.com BrewersBrewers strike early, hold on late for 5-3 win over Rangers
The Brewers defeated the Rangers 5-3 for their fourth consecutive win and fifth straight series victory. Jackson Chourio and William Contreras hit solo home runs in the first inning against Rangers starter Cal Quantrill, who had allowed just three runs all month entering the game, and the Brewers added another run in the second to build a 3-0 lead. Brewers pitcher Shane Drohan allowed only one run across five innings while striking out six, and the offense tacked on two more runs in the seventh inning to put the game out of reach despite a late Rangers rally that brought the score to 5-3.
Brew Crew BallThe Brewers' key offensive trio is heating up at just the right time
The Brewers' offense remains among the league's best, with Jake Bauers leading the team with 23 home runs and 75 RBIs this season, a shift from Christian Yelich's role as top producer last year. Three key players—Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and William Contreras—are all heating up simultaneously as the team approaches the postseason. Yelich has reached base in seven of his last eight games with improved exit velocity and hard-hit rates since mid-August, posting a .300/.356/.450 slash line over the last 15 days. Chourio and Contreras have both rebounded strongly in August after struggling in July, with Chourio hitting six home runs this month and slashing .309/.391/.526 with a 150 wRC+.
Reviewing the BrewGame Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (83-51) vs. Texas Rangers (66-68)
The Brewers host the Rangers tonight looking to extend their winning streak to five series after recent offensive success, while the Rangers aim to recover from allowing 21 runs over two games against Chicago. Brewers starter Logan Henderson will make his second consecutive home start after throwing six innings of one-run ball against Atlanta, facing Rangers left-hander Cody Bradford, who has a 3.05 ERA in four starts this season following a lengthy injury absence. Milwaukee's offense has scored eight runs in each of the final two games against the Mets, with Jackson Chourio hitting two homers in his last game and Christian Yelich batting .348 over his last seven games with six RBIs. A Brewers victory would extend their division lead to eight games over the Cubs.
Brew Crew Ball3 Brewers prospects who won't be called up in September, but could have a major impact in 2027
The Brewers have several top prospects unlikely to be called up during September roster expansion, but they could debut in 2027. Nineteen-year-old shortstop Jesús Made, ranked the top prospect in baseball, has performed well at Double-A this season with a .275/.350/.435 slash line, 40 extra-base hits, and 33 stolen bases across 110 games while maintaining strong plate discipline and clean defense. The Brewers will not rush Made to the majors this September to avoid jeopardizing his development and starting his service time clock prematurely. Made is following a similar path to Jackson Chourio and could potentially be part of the Brewers' 2027 Opening Day roster if he signs a long-term extension this offseason.

MLB.com BrewersChourio’s two home runs back Misiorowski in Brewers’ 8-2 win over Mets
Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBIs to lead the Brewers past the Mets 8-2 in the rubber match of their series. Jacob Misiorowski delivered another quality start, pitching six innings while allowing two runs on two hits with six strikeouts, despite dealing with mound issues throughout the game. The Brewers scored early and often, with Chourio's two-run homer in the fourth inning extending their lead to 4-0. Relief pitchers Antonio Senzatela, DL Hall, and Chad Patrick each threw a scoreless inning to close out the win.
Brew Crew BallPat Murphy's benching of Cooper Pratt wasn't real reason Brewers dropped series opener with Mets
The Milwaukee Brewers lost to the New York Mets in extra innings on a throwing error by David Hamilton in the bottom of the 10th. Manager Pat Murphy's mid-game benching of rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt in the fifth inning drew criticism online, but the real issue was the team's poor situational hitting throughout the game. The Brewers squandered multiple scoring opportunities, including a third-inning situation where Pratt grounded into a forceout with runners in scoring position, and leadoff hitters Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang combined to go 0-for-10 with three strikeouts. Without these offensive failures, the game would never have reached extra innings where Hamilton's error decided the outcome.
Reviewing the BrewShort-handed Brewers' late-game heroics snap losing skid in series opener against Dodgers
The Brewers snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the Dodgers 5-4 in Thursday's series opener despite dealing with multiple injuries to key players. Milwaukee entered the game short-handed, with Brice Turang sidelined by a left knee injury and Jackson Chourio playing through a thumb injury, but rallied in the ninth inning against Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz to secure the victory. Rookie left-hander Shane Drohan delivered a strong bounce-back performance after a poor outing against Minnesota, allowing just one run through five innings. Jackson Chourio scored the winning run in the ninth as the Brewers overcame a 4-2 deficit to earn what the team considered their best win of the season.
Reviewing the BrewJake Bauers offers the exact level-setting NSFW quote the Brewers needed
The Brewers' offense has collapsed in August, batting just .212 with 3.33 runs per game compared to .255 and 5.06 runs before the month began, resulting in a 6-6 record. A three-game sweep by the Padres, during which Milwaukee scored only seven total runs despite strong pitching from Logan Henderson and Dustin May, highlighted the offensive struggles. First baseman Jake Bauers attributed the problem to mental approach, saying the team needs to "chill the f*** out a little bit," noting that the Brewers have abandoned their typically patient plate discipline by increasing their swing and chase rates since August began. Bauers pointed to specific examples like Jackson Chourio swinging at pitches well out of the strike zone against Padres relievers as evidence the team is pressing rather than sticking to their disciplined approach.
