Blasts two-run homer in loss
Turang went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis
Turang did his part in sparking a comeback, blasting a two-run homer in the ninth inning to cut the deficit to three. It marked his fifth long ball and fourth three-hit effort of the year, as the second baseman has carried over his breakout 2025 campaign into a hot start to 2026. Through 31 games, the 26-year-old is hitting .304 with a .956 OPS, cementing himself as one of the most consistent and productive hitters in the Brewers lineup.

Ready to start Monday
Turang (illness) will start at second base and bat third in Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis
After Turang fell ill and was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals, manager Pat Murphy told Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel following the game that the Brewers were in "wait-and-see" mode with the second baseman heading into team's three-game series in St. Louis. Turang looks like he bounced back well from the ailment overnight and will slot back into a new-look Milwaukee lineup. He'll hit out of the No. 3 spot in the order for just sixth time this season while the Brewers welcome two key lineup pieces in Jackson Chourio (hand) and Andrew Vaughn (hand) back from the injured list.

Late scratch due to illness
Turang was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals due to an illness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis
The Brewers haven't indicated whether Turang will be available off the bench for the series finale in Washington, but the team may prefer to give him a full day to recover. David Hamilton had been scheduled to start at third base Sunday but will instead cover second base while Luis Rengifo mans the hot corner.
