Rotowire
Chourio is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cardinals.
In three games since Christian Yelich returned from the injured list, Chourio has been out of the lineup each time, although he did get a couple plate appearances off the bench Wednesday. Yelich, Sal Frelick and Blake Perkins appear to be ahead of Chourio in the outfield pecking order, and Jake Bauers might be as well. The 20-year-old rookie is slashing just .205/.275/.397 through his first 25 MLB contests.

Rotowire
Chourio is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.
Chourio is 1-for-12 with eight strikeouts over his last four games, so he'll get a breather as the Brewers and Pirates wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Joey Wiemer will pick up a start in the outfield in Chourio's stead.
Chourio went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Cardinals.
The rookie outfielder entered the contest with five strikeouts and no hits over his previous 11 plate appearances, but he busted out of that mini slump in a big way Saturday. Chourio has endured some ups and downs through his first 17 big-league games, but he's been productive overall with four homers, four steals, 13 RBI, 10 runs and a .719 OPS.
Chourio went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's loss to San Diego.

The highly-touted rookie knocked 22 homers with 44 steals in the minors last year and he displayed that impressive power-speed combo Monday. Chourio is now slashing .259/.305/.444 through 59 plate appearances.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Getting Sunday off
Rotowire
Chourio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
He'll exit the starting nine for the second time in 14 games this season while Milwaukee rolls out an outfield of Joey Wiemer, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick from left to right. Chourio went 1-for-11 with three strikeouts while starting in the first two games of the series in Baltimore.
Chourio went 1-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Reds while also drawing a walk.
Chourio drew a walk on five pitches to open the game and proceeded to steal second base before coming home on a Christian Yelich home run two batters later. The right-fielder would then go on to score a second time while also driving in two runs, the first on a single and the second on a sacrifice fly. Chourio has now hit safely in four consecutive games and in 10 of 11 contests overall to open the season. Additionally, he's also recorded at least one RBI in all but three games.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Pops first big-league homer
Rotowire
Chourio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.
Hitting leadoff against Chris Paddack, Chourio struck out in both his at-bats against the right-hander but then greeted Daniel Duarte with a blast to center field three pitches into the fifth inning. The rookie outfielder is 7-for-20 to begin his career with a homer, a steal and four RBI in five games, but a 1:6 BB:K offers at least a small yellow flag that leaner times could be ahead as pitchers build a book on Chourio.
