Chourio

It’s Chourio’s third career two-homer game and first since Apr. 6, 2025. It’s also his first time this year finishing with four runs or four RBI. He’s 8-for-13 with four extra-base hits in four games this month, raising his OPS from .721 to .878.

It appears to be a routine off day for Chourio following a stretch of 24 starts over a 25-game span since returning from the injured list back on May 4. The 22-year-old franchise cornerstone is riding a four-game hitting streak that includes his second round-tripper of the season along with a pair of multi-hit performances. It’ll be Jake Bauers heading out to left field with Andrew Vaughn getting a chance to hit second in his place.

Chourio’s double in the eighth was a homer in eight ballparks, but in Miller Park, it should have been caught by Drew Gilbert, who mistimed his jump into the wall. Chourio has four hits, including two doubles, and three walks against the Giants the last two days, raising his OPS 58 points to .779.

After getting a rare day off on Sunday, Chourio came through with his first three-RBI game of the year. It’s also a rare multi-walk game. He had six of those as a rookie but only three last year and this is his first of 2026. Chourio is hitting .276/.336/.418 in 107 plate appearances since returning from a fractured hand.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine day off for the dynamic 22-year-old outfielder. William Contreras is also getting a breather for the Brewers in this one. Sal Frelick will start in right field and bat seventh while Gary Sanchez does the catching and hits sixth for the Brewers against Astros’ right-hander Tatsuya Imai on Sunday.

Chourio delivered a 431-foot homer off Kai-Wen Teng in the fifth. He’s hitting .267/.320/.411 with two homers (on 12 barrels) and five steals in 97 plate appearances since returning from a fractured finger.

The doubles were launched 407 and 382 feet, with the former being a home run in eight ballparks. Chourio is hitting .296/.333/.436 in 16 games since coming off the injured list.

Chourio’s first homer of the year was a 400-foot blast to left-center, and he also had a 113.3-mph double to left in the eighth. He’s gone 14-for-44 since coming off the IL, giving up him a .318/.362/.500 line in 47 plate appearances.

Chourio doubled off of Joe Ryan on the first pitch of the game and came around to score two batters later thanks to a William Contreras single. He would later score in the eighth inning and again came in to score via a fielder’s choice by Contreras, to tie the game at 2-2. Chourio also struck out three times in this one, but both of his hits and runs proved vital in the 3-2 victory. Chourio is still waiting for his first homer of 2026, but he’s slashing a solid .300/.349/.400 since returning from injury.

In his seventh game back from a hand fracture that took the first six weeks from his season, Chourio stole his first base of the season. He’s yet to hit a home run, but is spraying hits all over the field going 9-for-27 so far with three doubles.
