Getting breather Saturday
Turang isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.
Analyse
Turang doesn't typically move to the bench whenever the Brewers encounter a left-handed starter, but Milwaukee will keep him and his .536 OPS against southpaws in the dugout to begin Saturday's matchup against Andrew Abbott. David Hamilton will man the keystone in Turang's absence while Joey Ortiz covers third.

Breaks out in new lineup spot
Turang went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 10-7 win over the Reds.
Analyse
Dropped down to sixth in the order due to a prolonged slump that had seen Turang sag to a .174/.262/.239 slash line since the beginning of August, the second baseman seemed to relish being in a run-producing spot rather than setting the table, as he ripped a two-run double off the right-field wall in the third inning that just missed leaving the yard. A 10-run eruption from the Milwaukee offense will likely ensure manager Pat Murphy avoids any further tinkering for now, so Turang should get a chance to settle into his new spot. Despite his late-season slump, his 82 RBI are a new career high, and he's one homer shy of tying the career-best 18 he launched last year.

Moved down to six spot amid slump
Turang will start at second base and bat sixth in Friday's game versus the Reds.
Analyse
It's the first time all season that Turang has hit lower than third in the Brewers' lineup. The 26-year-old is slashing just .174/.262/.239 with one home run and a 29.8 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of August. Turang missed four games in mid-August with left knee discomfort, and Brewers manager Pat Murphy admitted Friday that the knee issue still affects the second baseman, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. However, there do not appear to be any plans for Turang to miss additional games as Milwaukee tries to maintain its spot as the top seed for the NL playoffs.
