Brice Turang Swipes Three Bags, Scores Three Times
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang went 3-for-4 in Friday's 8-4 win over the Mets, including a double, an RBI, three runs scored, and three stolen bases. The 24-year-old had a strong start to the season, slashing .277/.341/.390 but faded in the second half, slashing .219/.277/.288. His penchant for stealing bases kept his fantasy value afloat, finishing with 50 on the year, good for third-most in all of baseball. With a first-round draft pick pedigree and an 88.0% contact rate, there could be even more productive seasons ahead, but for now the Brewers will hope he can make an impact during the postseason.
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang was a lone bright spot in his team's 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Saturday. Turang went 3-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk, although he was caught stealing twice in the loss. The 24-year-old infielder blasted his second career grand slam off reliever Jhony Brito in the ninth inning to make the game appear closer than it actually was. Turang is enjoying a breakout season, hitting .296 with five homers, 38 runs, 31 RBI, and 26 steals across 257 at-bats.
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang belted his fourth home run of the season Monday night, going 2-for-4 in the 5-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Turang doesn't provide much in the power department, but what he lacks in power, he's beyond making up for it in the stolen base and batting average department this season. Turang is ranked second in MLB in stolen bases with 26 and 17th in batting average at .291 during his breakout campaign. The speedy lefty has been a mainstay at the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers and has played well enough this season to warrant an everyday spot in fantasy lineups despite the lack of at-bats versus left-handed pitching. Look for the 24-year-old to keep stealing bases, as the Brewers have the second-most stolen bases in the league at 103, just two behind the run-heavy Cincinnati Reds.
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang had a big day at the plate in a 10-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday. Turang went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base in the winning effort. The four-hit effort raises Turang's batting average to .303, to go along with 13 doubles, three homers, 28 runs, 23 RBI, and 22 stolen bases across 201 at-bats this season. Hitting .400 with three steals over his past seven games, Turang has emerged as an elite source of stolen bases in fantasy and should remain locked into fantasy lineups moving forward.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Brice Turang went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, and a stolen base Saturday in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. Turang took Zack Kelly deep in the eighth inning to give the Brewers a 6-2 lead. His homer traveled 391 feet with an exit velocity of 102.1 mph. The 24-year-old also logged his 19th stolen base of the season, second in the majors behind Elly De La Cruz (31). He is having a terrific season for the Brewers, slashing .301/.356/.429 with three home runs, 19 RBI. 21 runs, and 19 steals over 47 games in 2024. Turang has solidified a role as Milwaukee's leadoff hitter, and fantasy managers should continue to start him in all leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang and outfielder Sal Frelick are both out of the starting lineup on Wednesday with a left-hander on the mound. Turang and Frelick are on the bench for the third straight day with the Miami Marlins just bombarding the Brewers with lefty starters. With the two lefty hitters out again for Milwaukee, Andruw Monasterio is playing second and batting leadoff, with Blake Perkins in center field and in the nine-hole against Marlins lefty Jesus Luzardo. Even in the leadoff spot on Wednesday, the 26-year-old Monasterio is a deep DFS sleeper while entering the day with a .182 average (4-for-22) with a homer, two RBI and two steals in just 12 games. Perkins is even more of a DFS long shot at the bottom of the batting order for the Brew Crew. Perkins has four homers while hitting .233 (31-for-133) in 2024.
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Houston Astros. Turang added a double, a run, and two RBI to secure a solid overall day at the dish. The 24-year-old has been leading off for the Brewers for the last few weeks and has looked solid in the role so far. While he may not help fantasy managers in the home run and RBI categories, he can be a solid contributor of AVG, runs, and steals and should be owned in most leagues for that reason.
Brice Turang, Christian Yelich Getting The Day Off
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang, outfielder Christian Yelich and first baseman Jake Bauers are all getting the day off on Wednesday with a left-hander on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Joey Ortiz is starting at second base and is batting third, rookie Jackson Chourio is in left field and is batting eighth, and Owen Miller is manning first base and is hitting seventh against Pirates left-hander Martin Perez. Turang has been hot of late and has served as Milwaukee's leadoff hitter the previous seven games, batting .296 with two steals and three RBI. Yelich has been hot all year and has picked up where he left off since returning from the injured list with a back injury, as he's gone 10-for-25 (.400) with three RBI since May 8. Ortiz, who's hitting .261 with three homers and 11 RBI in 92 at-bats this year, could be worth looking into as a DFS sleeper on Wednesday in the three-hole.
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the Royals in Kansas City. With Turang getting a blow on Monday, Joey Ortiz will man second base for the Brewers and hit second in the batting order against Royals left-hander Cole Ragans. This will be only the third time this year that Turang hasn't been in the starting lineup for Milwaukee. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter is having a great season through 107 at-bats, slashing .299/.367/.411 with two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 16 runs scored. Turang isn't much of a power hitter, but his speed plays in all fantasy leagues. Ortiz, who has gone 18-for-66 (.273) this year, will be a DFS sleeper on Monday in the two-hole.
Milwaukee Brewers middle infielder Brice Turang went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases on Tuesday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Turang's two stolen bases lifts his total to 12 on the season. He is also hitting a respectable .319 with two homers and nine RBI. Turang is unlikely to help much in the power department, but he has been playing every day and so far, has held his own. His true value comes in the speed department and managers looking to improve in that category should consider Turang. He is now tied with Elly De La Cruz for the league lead in stolen bases and will look to take sole control of the lead on Wednesday versus the Pirates.
