Jackson Chourio

Jackson Chourio delivered a sophomore campaign that closely mirrored his rookie output. He again finished with 21 home runs, pairing them with 21 stolen bases after posting a 21/22 line the year before. His run and RBI totals barely budged as well, crossing the plate 88 times with 78 RBIs after scoring 80 runs and driving in 79 as a rookie. Even his rate stats stayed remarkably steady, as he slashed .270/.308/.463 in 2025 following a .275/.327/.464 line in 2024. Chourio did appear in 17 fewer games this past season, which makes the underlying production more intriguing. When scaled to a full workload, a 25/25 season is well within reach. Assuming roughly 140 games in 2026, fantasy managers should expect similar overall numbers, with a reliable 20/20 floor and a batting average in the .270 range. That profile makes Chourio a strong five-category contributor, even if he hasn't yet blossomed into the elite fantasy force some anticipated.

Pat Murphy agrees to three-year contract extension with Brewers

Pat Murphy has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Milwaukee Brewers according to Ken Rosenthal.

Fantasy Impact

Murphy entered the 2026 season on the last year of his previous contract, but the back-to-back NL Manager of the Year is now locked in leading a Milwaukee club to a 190-134 record and consecutive NL Central division titles over the last two seasons. The extension also includes an option for the 2029 season.
