Turang (wrist) will start at second base and bat sixth Sunday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang sat out Saturday's 7-1 loss after being hit by a pitch on the wrist in Friday's series opener, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup after missing just one game. The second baseman has been one of the best hitters in baseball during August and has a 1.190 OPS with eight home runs, six doubles, 20 RBI, 16 runs and two steals in 20 games this month.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Not in lineup
Rotowire
Turang (wrist) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Turang was hit by a pitch Friday night and tested out the injury pregame to see if he'd be able to play Saturday. It seems as though his wrist didn't respond well, as he's not part of the starting nine. Caleb Durbin will slide over to second base while Anthony Seigler plays third base.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Good to go Wednesday
Rotowire
Turang (finger) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Turang went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 14-0 win before being lifted in the bottom of the sixth inning for a pinch hitter while he tended to a pinkie injury. The Brewers held a 12-run lead at the time of Turang's departure, so the score may have played a factor in his early removal more so than the injury. The second baseman made enough progress in his recovery overnight to re-enter the lineup for a day game Wednesday as the Brewers look to extend their winning streak to 12.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Nursing finger injury
Rotowire
Turang was removed from Tuesday's game against the Pirates due to a pinky injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Manager Pat Murphy said after the game that Turang's finger was giving him trouble before Tuesday's contest. However, it seems the Platinum Glover's removal in the seventh inning had more to do with the fact that the Brewers were already leading 12-0 at that point. Because he was able to play through his injury Tuesday and hit a home run off Paul Skenes in the process -- Turang's fourth homer in five games -- the 25-year-old may be able to stick in the lineup when the Brewers go for the series sweep Wednesday.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Busy on basepaths in loss
Rotowire
Turang went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Twins.

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: Staying at second base
Rotowire
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: Injury deemed not serious
Rotowire
Manager Pat Murphy told reporters Saturday that his decision to take Turang (shoulder) out of the lineup against the Athletics was done as a precaution, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Medical staff had cleared Turang to play Saturday, but Murphy wanted to give the 25-year-old some additional time to recover from right shoulder fatigue. It remains to be seen whether Turang will play in Sunday's spring game against Cleveland, but he doesn't appear to be in serious jeopardy of missing Opening Day.
