Brewers' Brice Turang: Struggles to throw
Brice Turang (shoulder) struggled during his throwing session Monday and will be shut down for 3-to-5 days, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.The Milwaukee Brewers haven't expressed much long-term concern about Turang, whom McCalvy notes remains on track to play Opening Day. However, the reps that he'll miss out on over the next few days make it unlikely that Turang will begin the season as the starting shortstop, after Willy Adames left Milwaukee in free agency and signed with San Francisco. Joey Ortiz is now the leading candidate to play shortstop, while Turang likely handles an everyday role at second base, at least until he's able to fully move past the shoulder issue and isn't restricted with his throwing.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Retains key lineup spot
Brice Turang went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Royals.Turang has just one base knock through four exhibition appearances, but more importantly, he has hit leadoff or second in all four. When the regular season gets underway, chances are that Turang -- who stole 50 bases and won his first Gold Glove last season -- will regularly occupy one of those spots against right-handed pitching while hitting lower in the order against southpaws.
