Brice Turang coverage
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (82-51) @ New York Mets (60-73)
The Brewers and Mets play the deciding game of their series with Jacob Misiorowski starting for Milwaukee against Sean Manaea for New York. Misiorowski is having an excellent season with a 1.68 ERA and 216 strikeouts, though the Mets have had some success against him in previous matchups. Dustin May avoided serious injury after being hit by a pitch the previous night and could return to pitch on Sunday. The Brewers will be without several regulars including Brice Turang and Christian Yelich due to Manaea being a left-handed pitcher.
Brew Crew BallBrice Turang could make Brewers history with deserved Silver Slugger Award this year
Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is on pace to exceed his career highs in doubles, home runs, and RBIs this season and could become the first Brewers second baseman to win a Silver Slugger Award since the award's inception in 1980. With 59 games remaining, Turang has already matched his career-high 28 doubles and ranks second among National League second basemen in OPS and on-base percentage while leading the position in walks. No Brewers player won the Silver Slugger last year despite three finalists, including Turang, who many felt was more deserving than winner Ketel Marte.
Reviewing the BrewPat Murphy's benching of Cooper Pratt wasn't real reason Brewers dropped series opener with Mets
The Milwaukee Brewers lost to the New York Mets in extra innings on a throwing error by David Hamilton in the bottom of the 10th. Manager Pat Murphy's mid-game benching of rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt in the fifth inning drew criticism online, but the real issue was the team's poor situational hitting throughout the game. The Brewers squandered multiple scoring opportunities, including a third-inning situation where Pratt grounded into a forceout with runners in scoring position, and leadoff hitters Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang combined to go 0-for-10 with three strikeouts. Without these offensive failures, the game would never have reached extra innings where Hamilton's error decided the outcome.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers news: Cooper Pratt reinstated, Brandon Lockridge optioned, Jacob Misiorowski vs. Chris Sale
The Brewers reinstated shortstop Cooper Pratt from the injured list after a 10-day absence due to a hamstring strain, completing a brief one-game rehab assignment with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Pratt's return restores the Brewers' middle infield to full strength alongside second baseman Brice Turang, who recently returned from knee soreness. The team will face Seattle's ace Logan Gilbert tonight, with Dustin May taking the mound for Milwaukee in the second game of their series following a 22-0 victory.
Reviewing the BrewPat Murphy offers encouraging Cooper Pratt update as Brice Turang returns to Brewers' lineup
The Milwaukee Brewers won three of four games against the Los Angeles Dodgers without their starting middle infield duo of rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt and second baseman Brice Turang. Turang returned to the lineup for tonight's game against Seattle and will bat leadoff, while manager Pat Murphy indicated Pratt could rejoin the team as soon as tomorrow. Murphy said the team will need to manage Turang's workload carefully given his intensive pregame routine. Outfielder Sal Frelick remains on the injured list but is progressing through his rehab assignment and could return soon if he continues feeling good after throwing sessions.
Reviewing the Brew4 key takeaways from Brewers' momentum-restoring series win over Dodgers
The Brewers won three of four games against the defending champion Dodgers despite missing key players including Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, Cooper Pratt, and Abner Uribe. Strong pitching from Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson helped Milwaukee capitalize on a struggling Dodgers bullpen that has posted a 4.55 ERA since the All-Star Break. The series victory provided the Brewers momentum after being swept by San Diego and demonstrated they can compete with Los Angeles heading into a potential postseason matchup.
Reviewing the BrewAbner Uribe injury news continues Brewers' brutal stretch of roster setbacks
The Milwaukee Brewers placed relief pitcher Abner Uribe on the injured list retroactively to August 11 due to a right forearm flexor strain, adding to their mounting injury problems during a grueling 17-game stretch without an off-day. Uribe, who had compiled 21 consecutive scoreless appearances and posted a 2.05 ERA with 18 holds this season, hasn't pitched since Sunday. The Brewers have already lost Sal Frelick, Cooper Pratt, Joey Ortiz, and Brice Turang to injuries during this stretch, forcing them to use unconventional defensive alignments. Grant Anderson was recalled from Triple-A to fill Uribe's spot in the bullpen.
Reviewing the BrewSal Frelick to clear necessary hurdle in rehab process as return to Brewers' roster draws nearer
Sal Frelick is set to return to action in right field for the Nashville Sounds tonight, marking his first time playing the field since July 17 after suffering a shoulder strain. The Gold Glove-winning outfielder has been easing back into game action during his rehab assignment, initially serving as the designated hitter for four games before being cleared to take the field. Once Frelick clears this hurdle, his return to the Brewers roster should follow soon, providing a boost to a team dealing with infield injuries to Cooper Pratt and Brice Turang.
Reviewing the BrewShort-handed Brewers' late-game heroics snap losing skid in series opener against Dodgers
The Brewers snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the Dodgers 5-4 in Thursday's series opener despite dealing with multiple injuries to key players. Milwaukee entered the game short-handed, with Brice Turang sidelined by a left knee injury and Jackson Chourio playing through a thumb injury, but rallied in the ninth inning against Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz to secure the victory. Rookie left-hander Shane Drohan delivered a strong bounce-back performance after a poor outing against Minnesota, allowing just one run through five innings. Jackson Chourio scored the winning run in the ninth as the Brewers overcame a 4-2 deficit to earn what the team considered their best win of the season.
Reviewing the BrewPat 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.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers injury news: Cooper Pratt's progress, Sal Frelick rehab assignment, JoJo Romero's timeline
The first-place Brewers are dealing with multiple infield injuries during a demanding stretch of 17 games in 17 days. Rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt suffered a hamstring strain during a game against Minnesota and was placed on the injured list, though manager Pat Murphy reports he is making solid progress and is expected to return in late August. The team has also been affected by Joey Ortiz's neck and upper back soreness and Brice Turang's newly acquired sprained thumb, forcing them to use Ji Hwan Bae, Andrew Vaughn, and Turang as temporary replacements.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers' top prospect's second untimely injury challenges organization's infield depth
The Milwaukee Brewers' infield depth has been tested by consecutive hamstring injuries to David Hamilton and Cooper Pratt within a month, forcing the team to shuffle its roster and sign former Pirates utility player Ji Hwan Bae. Top prospect Jett Williams, who was acquired in the Freddy Peralta trade, has been unable to capitalize on these opportunities due to a recurring wrist injury that he re-aggravated during his first at-bat after returning from the injured list on August 8. Williams is heading to Arizona for a specialist evaluation, as he has a history of wrist problems including a 2024 TFCC tear surgery. The Brewers have responded by moving Andrew Vaughn to third base for consecutive starts and using Brice Turang at shortstop situationally.
