The Milwaukee Brewers got a rare double dose of recognition on Monday, with Jackson Chourio and Jacob Misiorowski named co-NL Players of the Week. It was the first time since August 2024 that one team had a pair of teammates share the weekly honor.
For readers searching Chourio, the reason is simple: he turned a strong week into his first NL Player of the Week Award. He went 13-for-29 with five homers, 10 RBIs and eight runs scored across six games, and he hit safely while driving in at least one run in every one of them. That kind of run matters even more because he missed the first month-plus of the season and still forced his way into the award conversation.
Misiorowski’s side of the story was even louder. He threw a complete game shutout against the Phillies on Friday night, allowed one hit and no walks, struck out 15 on 95 pitches and got 58 of those pitches above 100 mph. A fourth-inning double play meant he faced the minimum, and the outing gave him his second career award after he picked up his first in the final week of May.
The numbers around both players explain why the Brewers’ weekly sweep is more than a neat line in a transaction log. Chourio has hit.322/.370/.572 over 35 games with nine homers, 11 doubles, 26 RBIs, 27 runs and five steals, while Misiorowski has piled up 3.9 bWAR in 87 innings over 14 starts. He also leads the majors in ERA at 1.34, strikeouts at 131, FIP at 1.69 and WHIP at 0.736, a profile that makes his rise look less like a hot week and more like a season built to last.
That is why both players now look like solid bets to reach the All-Star Game in Philadelphia next month, even if nothing is locked in yet. Byron Buxton took home the AL Player of the Week Award, and Brayan Rocchio won Play of the Week, but Monday belonged to the Brewers: a team that has two players producing at a level good enough to share the same spotlight.
