Brewers' Brice Turang: Launches three-run homer Friday
Rotowire
Turang went 3-for-3 with a double, a three-run home run, an additional RBI, two additional runs scored and a walk in Friday's 20-0 win over the Reds.
Turang smacked a three-run shot off Andrew Abbott in the second inning and later added an RBI double in the fifth, ultimately ending just a triple shy of the cycle. The four RBI allowed Turang to reach the 90-RBI threshold, and he also matched his previous career-high mark in homers with 18 thanks to his second-inning blast. The star second baseman has been hit-or-miss so far in September. Through 10 games, he has five multi-hit performances and five hitless games, but overall he is hitting .394 with a 1.130 OPS since the beginning of the month.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Breaks out in new lineup spot
Rotowire
Turang went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 10-7 win over the Reds.
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 over 156 regular-season games.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Moved down to six spot amid slump
Rotowire
Turang will start at second base and bat sixth in Friday's game versus the Reds.
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.

Despite the recent slump, Turang has put together another productive season overall, slashing .257/.353/.434 with 17 homers, 28 doubles, three triples, 78 RBI, 79 runs scored and 18 stolen bases across 123 games.

Rotowire
Turang (knee) is not in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang is dealing with left knee pain, and he underwent an MRI on Thursday. Manager Pat Murphy did not rule the second baseman out past Thursday's contest, but Turang is expected to get a second opinion following the MRI.
