Brice Turang (knee) remains out of the Brewers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Dodgers.

It’s the second straight game that Turang has missed due to pain in his right knee. It sounds like the Brewers may consider a stint on the injured list if he’s not feeling any better on Saturday. David Hamilton is starting in his place at second base and batting eighth against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers on Friday night.

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang was held out of the Brewers’ starting lineup on Thursday due to pain in his right knee.

Brewers’ skipper Pat Murphy told reporters that Turang underwent an MRI exam which didn’t reveal anything serious — though he will get a second opinion to be sure. Murphy also noted that there’s a chance that Turang returns before their weekend series against the Dodgers is through. Whether or not he’ll require a trip to the injured list will likely depend on how he responds to treatment over the next couple of days.

Brice Turang is absent from the Brewers’ starting lineup for Thursday’s battle against the Dodgers.

No word yet on the reason for Turang’s absence from the lineup, but it sounds like he may be dealing with some sort of ailment. Brewers’ skipper Pat Murphy should have an update on his status before Thursday’s game starts.

Brice Turang is not dealing with thumb soreness as previously reported.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy misspoke after Tuesday’s game and said that Turang was dealing with the ailment, but he misspoke, as Jackson Chourio is the player currently battling the thumb issue. While it’d be preferable if neither had an issue, it’s good news for Turang, who has been one of the best second baseman in baseball this year.

MIL Left Fielder #11

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters that Jackson Chourio is currently dealing with a sore thumb.

Murphy misspoke Tuesday when he told reporters that it was Brice Turang that was dealing with thumb soreness. The 22-year-old outfielder is in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres, but fantasy managers should pay close attention to the situation.

Brice Turang (thumb) is hitting second and playing second base against the Padres on Wednesday.

It’s a little surprising to see Turang back in the lineup after Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested the infielder could miss some time. Milwaukee may need to manage the injury over the coming days, but obviously this is a wonderful sign for fantasy managers return to action this soon.

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang has a sprained thumb that could cause him to miss some time, manager Pat Murphy revealed.

Turang was able to finish the game against the Padres, but it looks like this could be an issue going forward. If so, the Brewers will need to place either he or Joey Ortiz, who is out with a neck issue, on the IL before Wednesday’s game. The Brewers don’t have any additional middle infielders on the 40-man, but they could call on someone like Freddy Zamora as a stopgap. Of course, top prospect Jesús Made is also an option. Signing Jorge Mateo wouldn’t be exciting, but can’t be ruled out.
Joey Ortiz

MIL Shortstop #3

Joey Ortiz (neck) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

Ortiz remains out for the third consecutive game due to a lingering neck issue. All indications are that he’s making progress and figures to be available off the bench in this one, if needed. It’ll be Brice Turang handling shortstop with Jihwan Bae getting a look at the keystone. It’s Turang’s first appearance at shortstop since the 2023 campaign.

Brice Turang went 3-for-4 with a run, a double, a stolen base and two RBI against the Twins on Saturday.

Turang did a little bit of everything against the Twins on Saturday. He had three hits, a run scored, a double, a stolen base and two RBI. Turang’s stolen base was just his 16th of the season. After stealing 50 bases two years ago, all Turang has done since is show he’s a legitimate, well-rounded player. He’s hitting .273 with an .825 OPS and 74 RBI this year.

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang went 3-for-5 with two RBI to lead the Brewers to an 8-2 win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Turang led off the game with a base hit, then drove in two runs on a single in the fourth. He’d collect a third hit with another single in the eighth. The 26-year-old second baseman is hitting .269/.363/.462 with 15 homers, 70 runs scored, 64 RBI, and 15 steals across 458 plate appearances.

Tigers designated OF Trei Cruz for assignment.

The 28-year-old outfielder went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in two games with the Tigers this season. It seems likely that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra outfield depth at Triple-A Toledo.

According to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, Justin Slaten (elbow) is expected to land on the 15-day injured list on Sunday due to right elbow soreness.

With Garrett Whitlock also being shelved, the Red Sox’ bullpen has taken a major hit in the past couple of days. It’ll be interesting to see how the Red Sox reconfigure their bullpen to bridge the gap to Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning.

Braves designated LHP Danny Young for assignment.

With Ray Kerr joining the big league roster on Sunday, someone needed to get the boot from the Braves’ bullpen and unfortunately for Young, he drew the short straw this time. The 32-year-old has struggled to an 8.03 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and a 15/13 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings in 16 appearances with the Braves this season.

Braves selected the contract of LHP Ray Kerr from Triple-A Gwinnett.

The 31-year-old southpaw has finally made it all the way back after undergoing surgery in June o 2024 to repair a torn UCL in his pitching elbow. He made nine appearances across four minor league levels, posting a 3.09 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 16/5 K/BB ratio across 11 2/3 innings. He should provide a nice boost to the Braves’ bullpen.

Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) was obliterated in a minor league rehab start at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, giving up eight runs on seven hits over 4 2/3 innings.

The 35-year-old southpaw struck out eight batters in the contest while issuing a pair of walks. Seven of those eight runs came during the first inning, after which he settled in nicely. He threw 80 pitches (56 strikes) in the ballgame, so physically he’s probably ready to rejoin the Angels’ rotation over the weekend unless they want to see him have success in a minor league setting first.

Wyatt Langford finished 3-for-4 with a two-run homer Saturday in the Rangers’ 5-3 defeat of the A’s.

Langford’s 14th homer off J.T. Ginn gave the Rangers a 4-3 lead in the sixth and gave Langford his first runs batted in since Aug. 1. He’d gone 3-for-37 in his previous 12 games, which led to him receiving a day off on Wednesday.

MacKenzie Gore picked up a win over the A’s after allowing three runs in 5 2/3 innings on Saturday.

Gore pitched better against the Giants and Angels in his previous two starts, but this one earned him his first win of August. He’s now 7-9 with a 4.45 ERA overall, and he should be a nice play with a home start versus the Halos next week.

Jacob Latz pitched a pair of hitless innings for his 24th save Saturday versus the A’s.

Latz hadn’t pitched since Monday, so the Rangers asked him for six outs tonight, and he recorded them without incident. He did allow a hit in the eighth, but a caught stealing allowed him to face the minimum over the two innings. Since he did throw 36 pitches, he’ll probably be unavailable Sunday.
