There has been a bug going around the Brewers’ clubhouse and Turang is the latest to fall victim to it. He should be considered day-to-day. David Hamilton will slide over and cover second base while Luis Rengifo will enter the lineup at the hot corner and will bat leadoff against PJ Poulin and the Nationals.

Bonemer launched his minor-league leading 13th round-tripper of the season in this one just a couple days after taking Yankees ace Gerrit Cole deep during his latest rehab outing. The 20-year-old top prospect is rapidly evolving into one of the top prospects in the fantasy landscape with six big flies in his last 10 games. He’s slashing a sublime .282/.429/.718 with 13 homers and two steals in 30 games.

Anderson carried a shutout into the sixth inning before coughing up a solo homer with two outs in the frame. He threw a whopping 49 of 75 pitches for strikes in his latest dominant outing. He’s topped eight strikeouts in four of his six starts to kick off his professional debut. The21-year-old southpaw, who was selected third overall in last year’s MLB Draft, continues to look like one of the top pitching prospects in the fantasy landscape with a sparkling 0.60 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 47/5 K/BB ratio across 30 innings. There’s a very real possibility he’s pitching in Seattle by the end of the year.

Hernandez posted nine punchouts for the third consecutive starts and generated an eye-popping 24 swinging strikes in this one. He threw 56 of 81 pitches for strikes and allowed just four baserunners over six dominant innings. The 19-year-old continues to strengthen his case as the top fantasy pitching prospect in the game. He’s struck out 48.1 percent of the batters he’s faced in his professional debut while recording a microscopic 0.96 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 50/7 K/BB ratio across 28 innings over six starts at Low-A.

Carlson was removed from Chicago’s 40-man roster after going 0-for-4 in three games last month. The 27-year-old outfielder should be able to latch on somewhere else as organizational depth.

Strickland has bounced back-and-forth between the open market and the Angels organization over the last few months. The 37-year-old journeyman was in camp with Los Angeles as a non-roster invitee this spring. There’s a chance he’s back with the Angels shortly on a new deal.

Perdomo heads to the open market after being hit extremely hard in 10 outings for Triple-A Salt Lake. The 32-year-old lefty made four appearances for the Athletics last year.

Waguespack was in Brewers camp as a non-roster invitee this spring before posting a strong 2.25 ERA and 23/11 K/BB ratio across 16 innings over 11 appearances for Triple-A Nashville. The 32-year-old journeyman has made 31 appearances in the big leagues since 2019.

Willingham was in Astros camp as a non-roster invitee this spring before spending a couple weeks at Triple-A Sugar Land. The 27-year-old posted an uninspiring 7.11 ERA across 25 1/3 innings over 19 appearances for the Nationals from 2023-2024.

Devers’ homer was a one-out-of-30 ballparks, according to Statcast, traveling a projected 399 feet to dead center in San Francisco. That’s still nice hitting, but it likely would have produced a double elsewhere. Devers now owns an eight-game hitting streak, though this is his first multihit game since it started. He’s batting .348/.385/.696 since the calendar changed to May.

Ray walked four, but the only damage came from a Marcell Ozuna homer in the second. That’s been kind of the pattern for Ray, though; he’s given up eight homers but only 14 runs in 45 2/3 innings. Ray moved to 3-4 with a 2.76 ERA. He’ll face the Dodgers on the road next week, making him benchable in mixed leagues.
