Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Back in starting nine
Turang (foot) is starting at second base and batting third Sunday against the Marlins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The 26-year-old was scratched from Saturday's lineup after fouling a pitch off his foot Friday, but he's been cleared to play after doing some running on the field pregame. Turang went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout to open the second half Friday, but he's been productive at the plate in July with seven doubles, two homers, two steals, 12 RBI and seven runs through 12 games.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: MRI comes back clean
Harrison (elbow) said a precautionary MRI returned "all good" and that he had no issues during his bullpen session Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander landed on the shelf July 8 due to elbow soreness, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and quickly returned to mound work. Harrison will be eligible to come off the injured list Friday, though he may need to face live batters before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.

Jacob Misiorowski SP | MIL
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Start moved to Monday
Misiorowski (arm) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The flamethrowing right-hander was initially penciled in to rejoin the rotation Tuesday after recovering from a bout of arm fatigue, but instead he'll move up a day while Brandon Sproat gets bumped to Tuesday. Misiorowski will be making his first start since July 7 in St. Louis, when he struck out 11 and gave up three runs across seven innings while picking up his 10th victory of the year. It's not a major surprise that the 24-year-old got some extra time off -- his 111 innings this season is fast approaching the career high of 141.1 frames he posted between Triple-A and the majors last year including the playoffs.
