Turang went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.
Turang opened the scoring in the first inning with a 406-foot blast off Aaron Nola, his career-high 20th homer this season. The 26-year-old Turang has been on a tear down the stretch, going 22-for-54 (.407) over his last 17 games. He's now slashing .265/.365/.444 with 99 runs scored, 94 RBI and 19 stolen bases across 662 plate appearances this year.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Notches 11th win
Rotowire
Henderson (11-3) earned the win Wednesday over the Phillies, allowing a run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Henderson did a good job working through traffic Wednesday, as he held Philadelphia to a lone second-inning run en route to his 11th victory. Henderson went 5-1 with 1.93 ERA across 42 innings in his final seven starts this season. He'll likely wrap up an impressive regular-season with a 2.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 110:19 K:BB across 18 outings (98.1 innings).
Pratt is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt in Philadelphia.
After starting each of the previous four contests, Pratt will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's game. It will be Joey Ortiz handling shortstop for the Brewers in Pratt's stead.

Brewers' Lyon Richardson: Joins Brewers' bullpen
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Richardson's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Richardson will likely be used to eat some low-leverage innings this week as the Brewers try not to overdo it with the workload of their starting pitchers. The righty holds a career 6.48 ERA and 47:40 K:BB over 58.1 innings covering parts of four big-league seasons.

Brewers' Colton Gordon: Optioned by Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Gordon to Double-A Biloxi on Wednesday.
Gordon logged five innings out of the Milwaukee bullpen in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh arm. Lyon Richardson is taking Gordon's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Brewers' Dustin May: Another short outing
Rotowire
May did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Philies, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out two batters across two innings.
May was pulled from his start early for a second consecutive outing, after giving up a two-run homer to Brandon Marsh in the second inning. May has failed to complete five innings in six of his last seven starts, posting a 7.84 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 20.2 innings in that span, which is not the kind of form the Brewers were hoping for out of the right-hander so close to the playoffs. He's currently lined up to take on the Cardinals at home this weekend.
Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Ortiz has been dealing with an abdominal strain for the past few days, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Ortiz will get a day off Tuesday to recover from his injury, but Murphy noted that the 28-year-old would likely be playing if it were the postseason, so it doesn't seem like Ortiz is dealing with anything major. David Hamilton will man the hot corner Tuesday and is the favorite to start there during any future games that Ortiz may have to miss.

Pratt has gone 11-for-27 (.407) over his last eight games, adding four steals in that stretch. The shortstop is up to 17 thefts on 20 attempts this year as he provides good speed from the lower third of the order. He's batting .282 with a .721 OPS, three home runs, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, six doubles and two triples through 69 contests.
