Mon May 26 | 13:04 | Christian Yelich, Brice Turang Sitting Against Southpaw |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich and second baseman Brice Turang are both out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the visiting Boston Red Sox and tough left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet. Yelich is currently riding a four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 7-for-16 with two homers, four RBI and a steal, but he's gone 8-for-63 (.127) with none of his nine home runs and 25 strikeouts in 71 plate appearances against left-handers on the year. The 33-year-old's recent hot streak has gotten his season average up to .205 on the year. Turang has struggled so far in May, going 15-for-77 (.195) with a homer, three doubles and five stolen bases. Isaac Collins is starting in left field and batting second, while Andruw Monasterios is at the keystone and batting ninth on Monday against Crochet. Neither player will be very attractive in DFS lineups against Crochet. |

Wed May 7 | 12:52 | Brice Turang Out On Wednesday |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is out of the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Houston Astros. Rookie Caleb Durbin will man the keystone and will hit sixth against Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. The Brewers are facing a tough left-hander, but this is the second time in the three-game series that Turang has started on the bench, and manager Pat Murphy said on Monday that the former first-rounder needed a little more rest after missing a game last week with an illness. He's gone 4-for-12 with a double, RBI and a run scored in his first five games of May and is hitting a strong .318/.383/.409 with three long balls, 16 RBI, 29 runs and eight steals in his first 132 at-bats of the season. Durbin won't be a popular DFS pick against Valdez. In his first 18 MLB games, Durbin has hit just .218 (12-for-55) with a homer and 10 RBI. |

Mon May 5 | 17:40 | Brice Turang Getting A Rest Day On Monday |
MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is absent from the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Houston Astros at American Family Field. It is just another rest day for Turang after he recently dealt with an illness. Rookie Caleb Durbin will start at the keystone and will hit seventh on Monday against Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco. Turang missed a game last week due to illness but had played in the last four contests. Expect the 25-year-old to be back in action for Game 2 of the series on Tuesday. The former first-rounder has slashed a solid .315/.372/.400 with a .772 OPS, three homers, 16 RBI, 28 runs and eight steals in his first 130 at-bats. Durbin will lack much DFS upside on Monday. The 25-year-old has gone 12-for-50 (.240) with a homer and 10 RBI in his first 16 major-league games. |

Thu May 1 | 12:22 | Brice Turang Back In Action On Thursday |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang (illness) is back at second base and batting in his customary leadoff spot for Thursday's series finale against the hosting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Sean Burke. Turang was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday due to an illness, but he's feeling better a day later and should be returned to all starting lineups in fantasy. The 25-year-old former first-rounder has been one of the most productive second baseman through the first month of the 2025 season, as he enters Thursday's contest in Chicago with a .317/.368/.408 slash line, a .777 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 28 runs scored and eight stolen bases for the Brew Crew in 120 at-bats. In his last seven games, Turang has gone 10-for-29 with a double and four RBI. He has never faced Burke in his MLB career. |

Wed Apr 30 | 19:45 | Brice Turang Scratched On Wednesday |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang has been scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Chicago White Sox due to undisclosed reasons. With Turang starting on the bench, Isaac Collins will lead off and play second base in place of Turang. Fantasy managers need to pull Turang from their lineups and check back for word on why he isn't playing. It's likely an injury, as the 25-year-old has been strong at the plate of late, hitting .325 (13-for-40) with five RBI, eight runs scored and three stolen bases in his last 10 games. He's been strong all season long with a .317/.368/.408 slash line as Milwaukee's primary leadoff man. Collins will face White Sox right-hander Shane Smith and will carry some DFS sleeper appeal in the leadoff spot. He has gone 9-for-37 (.243) with a homer, two RBI, two steals and six runs so far in 2025. UPDATE: Turang was scratched with an illness, so he could be back as early as Thursday's series finale against the White Sox. |

Mon Apr 21 | 02:25 | Brice Turang Notches Three Steals, Scores Three Times On Sunday |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang ran wild on Sunday, swiping three bags in a 14-1 drubbing of the Athletics. Turang finished the day 2-for-3 with a walk, three runs scored, an RBI, and the aforementioned three steals. The speedster had his doubters coming into the season after a poor back half of 2024, but he is doing his best to prove them wrong, hitting .322 with a .795 OPS and adding 23 runs, three homers, 11 RBI, and eight steals in 84 at-bats. He's been excellent in the leadoff spot for the Brewers and is looking like a steal (literally) for those who drafted him in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts. |

Sat Mar 29 | 21:39 | Brice Turang Belts Two-Run Homer |
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Brice Turang was able to make Saturday's blowout loss look a little better on the scoreboard. The Brewers pitching had no answers in this game as they allowed the New York Yankees to put up 20 runs. Turang and the rest of the Brew Crew lineup was able to make the picture look a little better. Turang went 1-for-5 with three runs scored and he hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning. The speedy infielder is worth rostering in basically all fantasy formats right now. |

Mon Mar 24 | 16:30 | Brice Turang Playing In Minor-League Game, Full-Go For Opening Day |
MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang (shoulder) was set to play in a minor-league game on Monday in order to pile up at-bats, and at this time, he's considered full-go for Opening Day on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Turang missed more than a week in spring training with a shoulder injury, but he had two hits in Sunday's Cactus League game and will be ready to go for the start of the regular season later this week. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old's shoulder injury won't allow him to open the year at shortstop -- Joey Ortiz will be there -- but he'll be locked in as Milwaukee's everyday second baseman as long as he doesn't suffer a setback with his shoulder. Although the Platinum Gold Glove winner tailed off offensively late last year, it was still a strong sophomore campaign. There's room for growth, but as of right now, consider him middle-infield depth with good speed and a safe floor. |

Tue Mar 18 | 14:43 | Brice Turang Will Be Milwaukee's Primary Second Baseman |
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Brice Turang (shoulder) will open the season as their starting second baseman. Turang was in contention to shift to shortstop, but the team will opt to move Joey Ortiz to that position and keep Turang at the keystone. The 25-year-old is also batting shoulder soreness, but this injury is not viewed as "serious." Last season, Turang made 152 starts at the keystone. Across 155 total games last summer, Turang posted a .254/.316/.349 with seven home runs. Most of his fantasy value came from his speed as he swiped 50 bags, the third-most in the National League. Under the hood, Turang held a strong 17.0 percent strikeout rate but generated a low .297 xwOBA. Fantasy managers should view Turang as a low-end No. 1 second baseman and will carry most of his value in category formats as a speed specialist. |

Mon Mar 17 | 21:07 | Brice Turang Down 3-5 Days After Throwing Session Doesn't Go Well |
MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Brice Turang (shoulder) tried to throw at camp on Monday, but it didn't go well. The good news is Turang's MRI exam didn't show any structural damage in his right shoulder, but he will be shut down for three to five days. McCalvy adds that the Brewers aren't worried about the 25-year-old missing Opening Day next Thursday, but they may revisit their middle-infield configuration after being very close to naming Turang as their starting shortstop. It now seems more likely that Turang will stay at second base and Joey Ortiz will move to the 6 to begin the year. Turang won the Platinum Gold Glove at the keystone last year, so this shouldn't be that big of an issue, but fantasy managers may be wondering if his shoulder injury will affect his swing at all. It's still possible that Turang is moved back to shortstop at some point, which would allow him to gain shortstop eligibility in fantasy. |

Sat Mar 15 | 18:52 | Brice Turang Dealing With Shoulder Fatigue |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang (shoulder) is dealing with shoulder fatigue. He was scratched from Saturday's lineup but the team noted that the move was precautionary. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but the injury does not seem overly serious. When healthy, Turang is expected to be the everyday second baseman in Milwaukee. Last season, the 25-year-old appeared in a career-high 155 contests. During this stretch, Turang held a .254/.316/.349 line with 24 doubles, four triples, and seven home runs. However, most of his fantasy value came from his speed as he swiped an impressive 50 bags, which was the third-most in the National League. Fantasy managers should view Turang as a top option for speed that carries little upside in the other four standard categories. |

Sat Sep 28 2024 | 10:11 | Brice Turang Swipes Three Bags, Scores Three Times |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang went 3-for-4 in Friday's 8-4 win over the Mets, including a double, an RBI, three runs scored, and three stolen bases. The 24-year-old had a strong start to the season, slashing .277/.341/.390 but faded in the second half, slashing .219/.277/.288. His penchant for stealing bases kept his fantasy value afloat, finishing with 50 on the year, good for third-most in all of baseball. With a first-round draft pick pedigree and an 88.0% contact rate, there could be even more productive seasons ahead, but for now the Brewers will hope he can make an impact during the postseason. |

Sun Jun 23 2024 | 06:24 | Brice Turang Hits Grand Slam In Loss Saturday |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang was a lone bright spot in his team's 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Saturday. Turang went 3-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk, although he was caught stealing twice in the loss. The 24-year-old infielder blasted his second career grand slam off reliever Jhony Brito in the ninth inning to make the game appear closer than it actually was. Turang is enjoying a breakout season, hitting .296 with five homers, 38 runs, 31 RBI, and 26 steals across 257 at-bats. |

Tue Jun 18 2024 | 06:04 | Brice Turang Belts Solo Shot Monday Night |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang belted his fourth home run of the season Monday night, going 2-for-4 in the 5-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Turang doesn't provide much in the power department, but what he lacks in power, he's beyond making up for it in the stolen base and batting average department this season. Turang is ranked second in MLB in stolen bases with 26 and 17th in batting average at .291 during his breakout campaign. The speedy lefty has been a mainstay at the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers and has played well enough this season to warrant an everyday spot in fantasy lineups despite the lack of at-bats versus left-handed pitching. Look for the 24-year-old to keep stealing bases, as the Brewers have the second-most stolen bases in the league at 103, just two behind the run-heavy Cincinnati Reds. |

Sat Jun 8 2024 | 07:08 | Brice Turang Steals A Base On Friday |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang had a big day at the plate in a 10-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday. Turang went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base in the winning effort. The four-hit effort raises Turang's batting average to .303, to go along with 13 doubles, three homers, 28 runs, 23 RBI, and 22 stolen bases across 201 at-bats this season. Hitting .400 with three steals over his past seven games, Turang has emerged as an elite source of stolen bases in fantasy and should remain locked into fantasy lineups moving forward. |

Sun May 26 2024 | 00:01 | Brice Turang Homers, Steals Base On Saturday |
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Brice Turang went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, and a stolen base Saturday in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. Turang took Zack Kelly deep in the eighth inning to give the Brewers a 6-2 lead. His homer traveled 391 feet with an exit velocity of 102.1 mph. The 24-year-old also logged his 19th stolen base of the season, second in the majors behind Elly De La Cruz (31). He is having a terrific season for the Brewers, slashing .301/.356/.429 with three home runs, 19 RBI. 21 runs, and 19 steals over 47 games in 2024. Turang has solidified a role as Milwaukee's leadoff hitter, and fantasy managers should continue to start him in all leagues. |

Wed May 22 2024 | 16:03 | Brice Turang, Sal Frelick Sitting Against Lefty |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang and outfielder Sal Frelick are both out of the starting lineup on Wednesday with a left-hander on the mound. Turang and Frelick are on the bench for the third straight day with the Miami Marlins just bombarding the Brewers with lefty starters. With the two lefty hitters out again for Milwaukee, Andruw Monasterio is playing second and batting leadoff, with Blake Perkins in center field and in the nine-hole against Marlins lefty Jesus Luzardo. Even in the leadoff spot on Wednesday, the 26-year-old Monasterio is a deep DFS sleeper while entering the day with a .182 average (4-for-22) with a homer, two RBI and two steals in just 12 games. Perkins is even more of a DFS long shot at the bottom of the batting order for the Brew Crew. Perkins has four homers while hitting .233 (31-for-133) in 2024. |

Mon May 20 2024 | 00:59 | Brice Turang Tallies Three Hits, Swipes Bag |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Houston Astros. Turang added a double, a run, and two RBI to secure a solid overall day at the dish. The 24-year-old has been leading off for the Brewers for the last few weeks and has looked solid in the role so far. While he may not help fantasy managers in the home run and RBI categories, he can be a solid contributor of AVG, runs, and steals and should be owned in most leagues for that reason. |

Wed May 15 2024 | 12:27 | Brice Turang, Christian Yelich Getting The Day Off |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang, outfielder Christian Yelich and first baseman Jake Bauers are all getting the day off on Wednesday with a left-hander on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Joey Ortiz is starting at second base and is batting third, rookie Jackson Chourio is in left field and is batting eighth, and Owen Miller is manning first base and is hitting seventh against Pirates left-hander Martin Perez. Turang has been hot of late and has served as Milwaukee's leadoff hitter the previous seven games, batting .296 with two steals and three RBI. Yelich has been hot all year and has picked up where he left off since returning from the injured list with a back injury, as he's gone 10-for-25 (.400) with three RBI since May 8. Ortiz, who's hitting .261 with three homers and 11 RBI in 92 at-bats this year, could be worth looking into as a DFS sleeper on Wednesday in the three-hole. |

Mon May 6 2024 | 17:15 | Brice Turang Resting On Monday |
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the Royals in Kansas City. With Turang getting a blow on Monday, Joey Ortiz will man second base for the Brewers and hit second in the batting order against Royals left-hander Cole Ragans. This will be only the third time this year that Turang hasn't been in the starting lineup for Milwaukee. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter is having a great season through 107 at-bats, slashing .299/.367/.411 with two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 16 runs scored. Turang isn't much of a power hitter, but his speed plays in all fantasy leagues. Ortiz, who has gone 18-for-66 (.273) this year, will be a DFS sleeper on Monday in the two-hole. |
