    Brewers' Brice Turang: Picks up stolen base Sunday

    Turang went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Padres.

    Turang notched a base hit to lead off the 5th inning and stole second base to give the Brewers a runner in scoring position with nobody out but was stranded there. The 23-year-old struck out his other three times up, which was just the second game this season he's struck out more than twice. Turang got off to a hot start but has cooled off some, and now sits at a slash line of .273/.333/.364 over 48 plate appearances.

The 26-year-old second baseman would add a double off Scott Barlow in the ninth to collect his third multi-hit game of the year.

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Bae is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Bae started the past five games and will step out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale after he went 3-for-18 with a home run, three RBI, two stolen bases and six strikeouts during that stretch. Tucupita Marcano will take over at the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Returns to starting lineup

    Arraez (finger) is hitting third and playing second base Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

    Arraez made an appearance as a pinch hitter during Saturday's game against Arizona, and the 2022 batting champion is feeling well enough for defensive duties against Zac Gallen and the D-Backs. He's off to a sensational start with a .511 average and six RBI over the first two weeks of the campaign.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Sitting against Marlins

    Marte is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

    Marte takes a seat after going 1-for-7 over the first two games of the series. Geraldo Perdomo will handle second-base duties and hit second in his absence.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Reaches four times, steals two bags

    Donovan went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to Pittsburgh.

    Donovan was effective at the top of the lineup for St. Louis. The steals were his first two of the season in a game where the Cardinals swiped four bags against catcher Jason Delay and the Pittsburgh pitching staff. Donovan now owns a four-game hitting streak while hitting safely in five of his last six contests, and he also didn't strike out for the first time since April 10.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Sits again with finger injury

    Arraez is again out of the Marlins' lineup Saturday due to discomfort in his left index finger, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Arraez also sat out Friday with what is being called a day-to-day issue with his left index finger. Garrett Hampson will get another start at second base and bat ninth Saturday against the Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Snags steal in win

    Miller went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's victory over the Padres.

    Miller started Friday for just the fourth time in 14 games, but he capitalized on the opportunity, recording both his first multi-hit game and steal since joining the Brewers over the offseason. Miller primarily played first base last season with the Guardians, but with a couple veterans occupying that spot in Milwaukee, all four of his starts this year have come at second base.
