Jackson Chourio Out Again Friday
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.

Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, Caleb Durbin All Sitting On Thursday
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.
