Brice Turang - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Deemed ready for opener Turang (shoulder) will play in a minor-league game Monday and is considered a "full go" for the Brewers' season opener Thursday versus the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though they'll be playing the Rockies on Monday in their Cactus League finale, the Brewers sent Turang to the minor-league camp for the day so that he can stockpile competitive at-bats in a more uncontrolled game setting. Turang had missed more than a week of Cactus League action before he returned to the lineup Sunday as a designated hitter, going 2-for-4 with a run scored. It's not clear if Turang will be playing the field at minor-league camp Monday, but the expectation is that he'll be in the lineup at second base Thursday.

Resumes throwing Turang (shoulder) was able to resume throwing Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Turang began dealing with shoulder fatigue in mid-March and was unable to throw Monday when he first attempted to return to baseball activity. Given that, Saturday's progress is significant and indicates that Turang should be available come Opening Day.

Brewers settle their shortstop situation by moving Joey Ortiz over from third base

Milwaukee infielder Joey Ortiz will move over from third base to shortstop as the Brewers alter their infield following Willy Adames’ departure

Staying at second base 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.

Impact 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.

Struggles to throw Turang (shoulder) struggled during his throwing session Monday and will be shut down for 3-to-5 days, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact There still isn't much long-term concern by the club, as McCalvy notes that Turang should still play on Opening Day, but he's unlikely to be named the starting shortstop at this point. This points toward Joey Ortiz opening the regular season at shortstop and Turang manning second base, at least until he's able to shake his shoulder issue.

Injury not deemed serious 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 rep...

Impact 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.

Dealing with shoulder fatigue Turang was scratched from the Brewers' lineup ahead of Saturday's spring game against the Angels due to right shoulder fatigue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Turang's removal from the lineup was said by the Brewers to be precautionary, and it doesn't appear that his shoulder fatigue is a long-term concern. He might be held out of the lineup to recover, but it shouldn't impact his availability for Opening Day. Turang appeared in 155 regular-season games in 2024 and slashed .254/.316/.349 with 50 stolen bases, seven home runs and 50 RBI over 619 plate appearances.

Scratched from lineup Turang was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's Cactus League game against the Athletics.

Impact It's currently unknown why Turang was removed from Milwaukee's starting nine, but the team should offer some clarity shortly. In the meantime, Cooper Pratt will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Retains key lineup spot Turang went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's exhibition game.

Impact Turang has just one base knock through four exhibition appearances, but more importantly, he hit leadoff or second in all four. When the regular season gets underway, chances are Turang -- who stole 50 bases and won his first Gold Glove last season -- will regularly occupy one of those spots against right-handers and hit lower in the order against southpaws.
