Pat Murphy teases Brewers' nightmare injury scenario after ugly loss to Padres

The Brewers are navigating a grueling 17-game stretch with no off days while dealing with mounting infield injuries. After losing to the Padres 11-2 on Tuesday, manager Pat Murphy revealed that second baseman Brice Turang has a sprained thumb, adding to existing absences from shortstop Cooper Pratt (hamstring strain) and infielder Joey Ortiz (neck/upper back tightness). An IL stint for Turang would further deplete Milwaukee's already depleted infield and remove one of their most productive offensive players during a critical stretch of the schedule.
