Turang went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Twins.
The second baseman very nearly manufactured a run by himself in the first inning, slapping a single to left field and then swiping second and third base, but the Brewers couldn't bring Turang home and never got another runner that close to scoring again. The 25-year-old is up to 11 steals on the year in 14 attempts while slashing .288/.365/.365 with three homers, 16 RBI and 32 runs in 42 games.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Rotowire
Turang is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Astros.
Turang is out of the lineup for a second time during the three-game series. Brewers manager Pat Murphy indicated when Turang sat out Monday that the infielder was still regaining strength following an illness last week. It's possible that's still a factor in him not being in Wednesday's lineup, but southpaw Framber Valdez being on the bump for the Astros might be the main reason for the left-handed-hitting Turang's absence. Caleb Durbin is at second base Wednesday while Vinny Capra handles third base.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting some rest Monday
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Turang will not be in Monday's lineup against the Astros as he continues to regain strength following an illness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang played each of the previous four games after sitting out one contest last week because he was under the weather. He's evidently still not feeling quite 100 percent, however, so he'll get a breather for the series opener versus Houston. Turang will be available off the bench Monday and should be back in the lineup Tuesday.

Turang was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's 6-4 win and was sent back to the team hotel while he battled a stomach bug, but he's ready to roll for Thursday's series finale.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Launches loud homer Friday
Rotowire
Turang went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds.
A number of middle infielders classified as light-hitting have been displaying surprising power early in 2025, a group led by the Dodgers' Tommy Edman (five homers in nine games), but Turang has put himself among that group with some loud contact of his own. The 25-year-old absolutely smoked a Nick Martinez cutter in the fifth inning Friday, depositing it 418 feet away over the right-center-field fence for what proved to be the winning runs. Turang had seven homers in 155 regular-season games last year with an average exit velocity in the 14th percentile, and a hard-hit rate in the ninth percentile. Through his first eight games of 2025 he's already gone yard twice, and while the sample size is very small, he boasts an AEV in the 84th percentile and a hard-hit rate in the 60th percentile.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Extends hitting streak in win
Rotowire
Turang went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Reds.
While Turang has started each of Milwaukee's first seven games at second base, he's now hit ninth in the batting order four times so far this season. Each of those four starts in the ninth spot have come against southpaws, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed by the lefty-hitting Turang's frequent placement in the bottom of the lineup early on. Across 28 at-bats, Turang is hitting .321 with one home run, four RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base while hitting safely in each contest.
Turang (shoulder) will play in a minor-league game Monday and is considered a "full go" for the Brewers' season opener Thursday versus the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Though they'll be playing the Rockies on Monday in their Cactus League finale, the Brewers sent Turang to the minor-league camp for the day so that he can stockpile competitive at-bats in a more uncontrolled game setting. Turang had missed more than a week of Cactus League action before he returned to the lineup Sunday as a designated hitter, going 2-for-4 with a run scored. It's not clear if Turang will be playing the field at minor-league camp Monday, but the expectation is that he'll be in the lineup at second base Thursday.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Turang (shoulder) was able to resume throwing Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Turang began dealing with shoulder fatigue in mid-March and was unable to throw Monday when he first attempted to return to baseball activity. Given that, Saturday's progress is significant and indicates that Turang could be available come Opening Day.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Turang (shoulder) will open the season as the club's primary second baseman, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Milwaukee was seriously considering shifting Turang to shortstop this season, but the idea was scuttled once the infielder developed some shoulder soreness. The shoulder issue is not expected to affect his availability for Opening Day. Turang is the reigning Platinum Glove winner in the National League for his defensive work at second base.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Struggles to throw
Rotowire
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 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.
