Jackson Chourio hit a two-run homer on Tuesday to join the 20/20 club and lead his team to a 3-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants. His homer came in the eighth inning with the crew up 1-0, so the runs were key insurance markers. Chourio is just the third 20-year-old to reach the elusive club, with the other two being Vada Pinson and
Mike Trout. Good company to keep. The rookie phenom has been a solid five-category contributor in fantasy, and his stock should only continue to climb as he gets accustomed to the league.

Jackson Chourio continued his torrid offensive second half in Monday's 9-3 win over the Cardinals. Chourio went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and three walks. The 20-year-old rookie clobbered a sixth-inning
Riley O'Brien slider deep into the left-center seats to clear the bases for his 18th long ball of the season. The top prospect has put together a solid rookie season, mostly fueled by his second-half performance. Chourio has compiled a .338/.387/.594 slash line with nine HR, 32 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 160 second-half at-bats. All-in-all, Chourio has lived up to the hype and has an opportunity to continue to make a good first impression down the stretch.

Jackson Chourio went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk, two runs scored, and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Reds. The home run came in the top of the ninth of a tie ballgame and would prove to be the eventual game-winner. After a sluggish start to his major league career, finishing May with a .210/.254/.327 slashline, the 20-year-old phenom has gone on to slash .318/.367/.536 since June 1. The young Venezuelan now owns a .277-17-66-63-20 line with a .336 wOBA and 115 wRC+ on the year and is looking every bit the superstar the Brewers expected him to be when they signed him to an 8-year $82 million contract before ever playing a single major league game. He will be very pricey in next year's fantasy drafts.

Jackson Chourio (ankle) will not play in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park after he rolled his right ankle in Game 1. Chourio will receive some treatment and more tests as a precaution, but it sounds like the Brewers think he avoided a long-term injury. Milwaukee is going with
Sal Frelick,
Blake Perkins and
Garrett Mitchell from left to right, respectively, in the nightcap. The 20-year-old injured his ankle running to first base in the fifth inning earlier on Friday but remained in the contest and went 2-for-5 with a double and a strikeout out of the leadoff spot in the 10-inning win. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Chourio is out on Saturday, but as of now, the impressive rookie shouldn't be forced to miss extended time.
