Brice Turang DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is out of the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Houston Astros. Rookie Caleb Durbin will man the keystone and will hit sixth against Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. The Brewers are facing a tough left-hander, but this is the second time in the three-game series that Turang has started on the bench, and manager Pat Murphy said on Monday that the former first-rounder needed a little more rest after missing a game last week with an illness. He's gone 4-for-12 with a double, RBI and a run scored in his first five games of May and is hitting a strong .318/.383/.409 with three long balls, 16 RBI, 29 runs and eight steals in his first 132 at-bats of the season. Durbin won't be a popular DFS pick against Valdez. In his first 18 MLB games, Durbin has hit just .218 (12-for-55) with a homer and 10 RBI.

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is absent from the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Houston Astros at American Family Field. It is just another rest day for Turang after he recently dealt with an illness. Rookie Caleb Durbin will start at the keystone and will hit seventh on Monday against Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco. Turang missed a game last week due to illness but had played in the last four contests. Expect the 25-year-old to be back in action for Game 2 of the series on Tuesday. The former first-rounder has slashed a solid .315/.372/.400 with a .772 OPS, three homers, 16 RBI, 28 runs and eight steals in his first 130 at-bats. Durbin will lack much DFS upside on Monday. The 25-year-old has gone 12-for-50 (.240) with a homer and 10 RBI in his first 16 major-league games.

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.
