The Brewers promoted Chourio from Double-A Biloxi to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Chourio will join Milwaukee's top affiliate after he ended Double-A Biloxi's season on a high note this weekend, recording at least one hit while getting on base at a .375 clip over his final nine starts. Altogether, the 19-year-old outfielder slashed .280/.336/.467 with 22 home runs and 42 stolen bases across 559 plate appearances for Biloxi. He'll join Nashville for the final week of its regular season and will look to build momentum for a spot on the Brewers' 2024 Opening Day roster.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Putting power on display
Rotowire
Chourio went 12-for-23 (.522) with three home runs, three doubles, six RBI and a 1:2 BB:K over his last five games with Double-A Biloxi.
Chourio owned a .699 OPS as recently as July 5, but thanks to his recent surge that number is all the way up to .764. Chourio has been a bit streaky in his first full season at the Double-A level, but he has now racked up 13 homers, 16 doubles and 22 stolen bases over 75 games -- and he still will not turn 20 years old until next March.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Getting going again
Rotowire
Chourio went 18-for-62 (.290) with three home runs, four doubles, 13 RBI, seven steals and a 4:14 BB:K over his last 15 games with Double-A Biloxi.
Chourio had trouble making contact for much of May, but he picked up the pace at the end of the month, and thanks to his recent run his OPS is back up to .713. While there is room for growth in that department, Chourio is making noise on the basepaths, having already matched his 2022 total with 16 steals while being caught only twice.
Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Racking up hits at Double-A
Rotowire
Chourio has gone 26-for-81 (.321) with two home runs, 13 RBI, nine steals and a 7:16 BB:K over his last 20 games with Double-A Biloxi.
Chourio had trouble making contact against Double-A pitchers after first reaching the level, but his recent run suggests he has figured them out. Chourio will not turn 20 years old until March of 2024, and he remains one of the best -- if not the best -- prospects in all of baseball.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Jacks first Double-A homers
Rotowire
Chourio went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday.
Chourio went just 2-for-23 (.087) in a brief Double-A stint at the end of last season, but he recorded the same number of hits in Biloxi's 2023 season opener, and four days later he tallied his first two long balls -- one of them of the walkoff variety -- at his current level. With a number of his fellow prospects graduating, Chourio now finds himself at or near the top of numerous sets of prospect rankings, and he is well on his way to justifying that with a .927 OPS four games into the current campaign.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Doubles twice in exhibition
Rotowire
Chourio doubled twice and walked in Wednesday's exhibition contest against Great Britain.
The heralded prospect is spending the spring with the big club, and he showed off his skills Wednesday. He has not appeared in an official spring game, however, which all but confirms he will begin the season in the minors -- likely at the Double-A level.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Struggles in brief Double-A debut
Rotowire
Chourio went just 2-for-23 with 11 strikeouts over six games for Double-A Biloxi to close out the 2022 season.
Those six games should have absolutely no bearing on Chourio's prospect standing, as the 18-year-old took two lower levels of the minor leagues by storm this year. If anything, it's healthy for him to have gotten a first look at the more advanced pitching in Double-A. Chourio is an electric player, but he's very young and he has some swing-and-miss in his game that he needs to work through, so the Brewers would be wise not to rush him through the organization. His final line in 2022: .288/.342/.538 with 20 homers and 16 steals in 99 games. Spectacular.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Promoted to Double-A
Rotowire
Chourio was promoted to Double-A Biloxi on Monday.
Chourio has moved quickly through the Brewers' farm system this year, and he'll be rewarded with a late-season promotion to Double-A now that the High-A season has come to an end. The 18-year-old has slashed .304/.358/.570 with 20 homers, 75 runs, 71 RBI and 14 stolen bases over 92 games between Single-A Carolina and High-A Wisconsin this year and will attempt to prove himself at Biloxi late in the 2022 campaign.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Homers in return to lineup
Rotowire
Chourio (elbow) went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run Sunday in High-A Wisconsin's 5-2 win over Lansing.
Back in action for the first time since Aug. 17 after missing the past week and a half with a sore right elbow, Chourio provided the game's pivotal hit in the third inning, when he went yard for the fifth time since being promoted from Single-A Carolina in late July. The 18-year-old served as Wisconsin's designated hitter Sunday, but it shouldn't be long before he reprises a regular role in center field.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Out with sore elbow
Rotowire
Chourio is out of action at High-A Wisconsin due to right elbow soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The 18-year-old was checked out by a doctor Friday and no specific issues were found. Chourio last played Wednesday and is slashing .268/.333/.463 with four home runs, three steals, 20 strikeouts and eight walks in 20 games as the youngest player at High-A since getting promoted to that level.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Unfazed by High-A transition
Rotowire
Chourio's first nine games for High-A Wisconsin have seen him hit .351 with a homer, a steal and a 5:6 BB:K.
The most remarkable thing about Chourio's performance so far as the youngest player in the Midwest League is that his strikeout rate is less than half what it was in Single-A. All small-sample caveats apply, but Chourio was already on the right track in that regard over his final three weeks with Carolina. Needless to say, he's quickly become one of the most exciting players in the minors.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Advances to High-A
Rotowire
The Brewers promoted Chourio to High-A Wisconsin on Sunday, MLB.com reports.
Few prospects have improved their stock this season as much as Chourio, who will move up a level after posting a .992 OPS and stealing 10 bases in 266 PA over 61 games with Single-A Carolina. The 18-year-old was one of the younger players going at the Single-A level, and he will be the only player his age seeing action among the High-A ranks.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Continues to impress
Rotowire
Chourio went 10-for-38 (.263) with four home runs, seven RBI, eight runs and three steals over his last 10 games with Single-A Carolina.
The 18-year-old continues to justify his rapid ascent up top prospect lists, and he now owns a stellar .984 OPS through 235 plate appearances at the Single-A level. If he can come anywhere close to matching that mark over the back half of the campaign, he's going to rise even further up the ranks heading into the offseason.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Jacks another long ball
Rotowire
Chourio went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's game with Single-A Carolina.
Chourio has been on a roll all season, and he has been particularly hot of late, going 13-for-30 (.433) over his last seven games while recording 10 RBI and a 1.085 OPS. The 18-year-old is putting up numbers few players his age have posted at the Single-A level in recent years, and his prospect star is unquestionably on the rise.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Turning heads early on
Rotowire
Chourio is hitting .356/.412/.578 with a homer, seven doubles, three steals and a 5:7 BB:K through his first 11 games for Single-A Carolina.
The 2021 international signee's hot start has earned him rave reviews from, among others, Baseball America, which noted his power, maturity and extensive toolset. Even at a tender 18 years old, Chourio makes incredibly loud contact, and a lot of it -- all with a great approach at the dish and strong defensive abilities in center field. Run, don't walk, to grab him in dynasty formats.
