Milwaukee Brewers DVOA, Stats, & MLB Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang (illness) is back at second base and batting in his customary leadoff spot for Thursday's series finale against the hosting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Sean Burke. Turang was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday due to an illness, but he's feeling better a day later and should be returned to all starting lineups in fantasy. The 25-year-old former first-rounder has been one of the most productive second baseman through the first month of the 2025 season, as he enters Thursday's contest in Chicago with a .317/.368/.408 slash line, a .777 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 28 runs scored and eight stolen bases for the Brew Crew in 120 at-bats. In his last seven games, Turang has gone 10-for-29 with a double and four RBI. He has never faced Burke in his MLB career.

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang has been scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Chicago White Sox due to undisclosed reasons. With Turang starting on the bench, Isaac Collins will lead off and play second base in place of Turang. Fantasy managers need to pull Turang from their lineups and check back for word on why he isn't playing. It's likely an injury, as the 25-year-old has been strong at the plate of late, hitting .325 (13-for-40) with five RBI, eight runs scored and three stolen bases in his last 10 games. He's been strong all season long with a .317/.368/.408 slash line as Milwaukee's primary leadoff man. Collins will face White Sox right-hander Shane Smith and will carry some DFS sleeper appeal in the leadoff spot. He has gone 9-for-37 (.243) with a homer, two RBI, two steals and six runs so far in 2025. UPDATE: Turang was scratched with an illness, so he could be back as early as Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) made his fourth minor-league rehab start on Wednesday for High-A Wisconsin and allowed an unearned run on three hits while walking one and striking out three in 5 2/3 innings for the win. In his first three rehab starts, the 32-year-old veteran allowed five earned runs on 12 hits while walking five and striking out 13 in 12 2/3 innings pitched. The Brewers are taking their time with Woodruff after he missed the entire 2024 season following surgery on his right shoulder capsule in September of 2023. His performance on Wednesday was very encouraging, and Woodruff might only need one or two more rehab starts on the farm before he's cleared to make his major-league debut in early May. Woodruff deserves to be stashed in all fantasy leagues, but temper expectations initially upon his return.

The Baltimore Orioles placed catcher Gary Sanchez (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with right-wrist inflammation and selected the contract of catcher Maverick Handley from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move, according to MASN's Roch Kubatko. With Sanchez going on the shelf, Handley will provide catching depth for the O's behind starter Adley Rutschman for the time being. Sanchez has not been on the fantasy radar, even in two-catcher leagues, in 2025. The veteran Dominican backstop went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts over the weekend in two games against the Detroit Tigers and has gone 3-for-30 with four RBI, a run scored, one walk and 12 strikeouts in his first 12 games for the O's in 2025. The two-time All-Star will not have much fantasy appeal in Baltimore once he returns unless Rutschman misses time with an injury.

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (elbow) exited his rehab outing on Sunday with an undisclosed injury. The southpaw was only able to tally two outs before exiting the contest. Before leaving, Miley allowed one hit and a run and did not tally a strikeout. In his first rehab outing with High-A Dayton, Miley struggled as he allowed nine hits and six runs across two 1/3 innings of work. The veteran pitcher is slowly working his way back from a UCL surgery on his left elbow. Last summer, Miley logged just seven innings of work to the tune of a 6.43 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP. During the 2023 campaign, the southpaw held a strong 3.14 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP across 120 1/3 innings of work. When eventually cleared to return, Miley should be in the mix for a depth role in the Cincinnati rotation.
