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: 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: 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.
