Brewers' Brice Turang: Breaks out in new lineup spot
Rotowire
Turang went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 10-7 win over the Reds.
Dropped down to sixth in the order due to a prolonged slump that had seen Turang sag to a .174/.262/.239 slash line since the beginning of August, the second baseman seemed to relish being in a run-producing spot rather than setting the table, as he ripped a two-run double off the right-field wall in the third inning that just missed leaving the yard. A 10-run eruption from the Milwaukee offense will likely ensure manager Pat Murphy avoids any further tinkering for now, so Turang should get a chance to settle into his new spot. Despite his late-season slump, his 82 RBI are a new career high, and he's one homer shy of tying the career-best 18 he launched last year over 156 regular-season games.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting breather Saturday
Rotowire
Turang isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.
Turang doesn't typically move to the bench whenever the Brewers encounter a left-handed starter, but Milwaukee will keep him and his .536 OPS against southpaws in the dugout to begin Saturday's matchup against Andrew Abbott. David Hamilton will man the keystone in Turang's absence while Joey Ortiz covers third.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Moved down to six spot amid slump
Rotowire
Turang will start at second base and bat sixth in Friday's game versus the Reds.
It's the first time all season that Turang has hit lower than third in the Brewers' lineup. The 26-year-old is slashing just .174/.262/.239 with one home run and a 29.8 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of August. Turang missed four games in mid-August with left knee discomfort, and Brewers manager Pat Murphy admitted Friday that the knee issue still affects the second baseman, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. However, there do not appear to be any plans for Turang to miss additional games as Milwaukee tries to maintain its spot as the top seed for the NL playoffs.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Remains idle Sunday
Rotowire
Turang (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's matinee with the Dodgers.
Turang will be left on the bench for a fourth consecutive game Sunday as he continues to deal with discomfort in his left knee. Per MLB.com, Turang was able to take part in an on-field workout prior to Saturday's 4-1 win and was available off the bench, so the Brewers are seemingly hopeful that he'll be feeling well enough to re-enter the lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus the Mariners.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Not in Friday's lineup
Rotowire
Turang (knee) is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.
Turang is working through some pain in his left knee, which has kept him out for the first two games of the series against the two-time defending World Series champions. Turang is considered day-to-day, though how his knee reacts to on-field work Saturday will be key to whether he needs a stint on the injured list, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. David Hamilton will start at second base and bat eighth in Turang's absence.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Dealing with left knee injury
Rotowire
Turang (knee) is not in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang is dealing with left knee pain, and he underwent an MRI on Thursday. Manager Pat Murphy did not rule the second baseman out past Thursday's contest, but Turang is expected to get a second opinion following the MRI. If Turang is forced to miss any action moving forward, David Hamilton and Ji Hwan Bae would be the top two candidates to fill in for him at second base.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Included in lineup in series finale
Rotowire
Turang (thumb) will start at second base and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang played the entirety of Tuesday's 11-2 loss before Brewers manager Pat Murphy revealed after the contest that the infielder had been dealing with a sprained thumb. According to McCalvy, Murphy issued a retraction when he spoke to the media Wednesday, noting that he meant outfielder Jackson Chourio had been playing through the thumb issue rather than Turang. With that in mind, fantasy managers should have no reservations about including Turang in lineups while he's staged an impressive follow-up to his breakout 2025 campaign. He'll head into Wednesday's contest with a .269 average, 16 home runs, 16 stolen bases, 75 RBI and 74 runs through 114 games.

Turang remained in the game for the entirety of Tuesday's contest, so it's unclear when exactly he got hurt, but the Brewers may now be at risk of losing another infielder after placing Cooper Pratt (hamstring) on the injured list Sunday.
