Turang is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

The lefty-hitting Turang will hit the bench against Reds southpaw Andrew Abbott, but the young infielder previously sat out the series opener Friday, when the Brewers opposed a right-hander (Graham Ashcraft). Turang still appears to have a tentative hold on a regular role in the middle infield when the Brewers face right-handed pitching, but with Luis Urias (hamstring) returning from the injured list Monday and Willy Adames (concussion) likely on track to be activated Thursday, Turang and Andruw Monasterio will both soon see their playing time second base and shortstop take a major hit.

The Brewers activated Urias (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

The initial expectation was that Urias would be activated Tuesday when the Brewers began a homestand, but he has instead met up with the team in Cincinnati a day earlier for the series finale with the Reds. Urias has missed most of the season with a strained hamstring, but now that he's healthy again, he'll likely see steady time at either third base or second base.

Gorman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

With left-hander Martin Perez taking the ball for the Rangers, Gorman will receive a day of rest. Brendan Donovan is at second base and Luken Baker is in the designated hitter spot.

Miller went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Miller is now 8-for-9 in stolen base attempts, extending his career-high through just 44 games with the Brewers. He's continued to swing a hot bat as well, going 9-for-28 (.321) over his last seven games. The 26-year-old Miller has been playing regularly while moving between second base, third base and left field. He is slashing .319/.358/.475 with four homers, 20 runs scored and 17 RBI through 151 plate appearances.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk and two-run home run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to Atlanta.

Marte's two-run home run in the fourth was shaping up to be the game-winning hit, but Atlanta stunned the home team with a grand slam in the ninth to steal the victory. The homer was Marte's ninth in 56 games, which far outpaces the 12 hit over 137 games in 2022.

Albies went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Albies' only extra-base hit was a game-tying, two-run shot in the fourth inning. Sunday was his second four-hit performance of the year and it boosted his slash line to .257/.303/.473 with two steals and 24 extra-base hits through 59 games. The 26-year-old has produced four multi-hit performances while striking out just twice in his last 12 games.

The Giants are expected to activate Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game in Colorado, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 27-year-old infielder is on track to return from the IL after a minimum-length stay due to a sore left wrist. Estrada didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, but he must have demonstrated enough progress in his recent workouts for the Giants to feel confident that he'll be ready to go for the upcoming series in Colorado. Once activated, Estrada will likely displace Brett Wisely as the Giants' primary option at the keystone.

Urias (hamstring) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Orioles, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Urias has been out for two months with a severe hamstring strain, but the infielder was able to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on May 24 and has apparently made a full recovery from the injury. The Brewers will need to make room on the 40-man roster in order to incorporate Urias, as he's currently on the 60-day injured list. Once active, Urias could settle back into a regular role at third base, but his playing time could become more infrequent when Willy Adames (concussion) likely returns from the 7-day injured list later in the week to make the Milwaukee infield more crowded.

Donovan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

The lefty-hitting Donovan will get a breather in the series finale with St. Louis opposing a left-handed starting pitcher (Rich Hill). Donovan had started in each of the Cardinals' last 10 games, slashing .273/.415/.576 with three home runs and two stolen bases. With all of Tyler O'Neill (back), Dylan Carlson (ankle) and Lars Nootbaar (back) on the injured list, Donovan should be a near-everyday player in the corner outfield for the foreseeable future.

Rojas started at third base and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

The lefty-batting Rojas, who was given Friday off against a right-hander, was back in the lineup Saturday against Atlanta's Spencer Strider. Friday's off day notwithstanding, Rojas remains a regular presence against righties, but his overall production has dropped significantly since mid-April. He's hitting .165 (15-for-91) with a .481 OPS over the last 30 games. For the season, Rojas is batting .237 against right-handed pitching.
