MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers second baseman
Brice Turang is absent from the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Houston Astros at American Family Field. It is just another rest day for Turang after he recently dealt with an illness. Rookie
Caleb Durbin will start at the keystone and will hit seventh on Monday against Astros right-hander
Ronel Blanco. Turang missed a game last week due to illness but had played in the last four contests. Expect the 25-year-old to be back in action for Game 2 of the series on Tuesday. The former first-rounder has slashed a solid .315/.372/.400 with a .772 OPS, three homers, 16 RBI, 28 runs and eight steals in his first 130 at-bats. Durbin will lack much DFS upside on Monday. The 25-year-old has gone 12-for-50 (.240) with a homer and 10 RBI in his first 16 major-league games.

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman
Brice Turang (illness) is back at second base and batting in his customary leadoff spot for Thursday's series finale against the hosting Chicago White Sox and right-hander
Sean Burke. Turang was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday due to an illness, but he's feeling better a day later and should be returned to all starting lineups in fantasy. The 25-year-old former first-rounder has been one of the most productive second baseman through the first month of the 2025 season, as he enters Thursday's contest in Chicago with a .317/.368/.408 slash line, a .777 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 28 runs scored and eight stolen bases for the Brew Crew in 120 at-bats. In his last seven games, Turang has gone 10-for-29 with a double and four RBI. He has never faced Burke in his MLB career.

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman
Brice Turang has been scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Chicago White Sox due to undisclosed reasons. With Turang starting on the bench,
Isaac Collins will lead off and play second base in place of Turang. Fantasy managers need to pull Turang from their lineups and check back for word on why he isn't playing. It's likely an injury, as the 25-year-old has been strong at the plate of late, hitting .325 (13-for-40) with five RBI, eight runs scored and three stolen bases in his last 10 games. He's been strong all season long with a .317/.368/.408 slash line as Milwaukee's primary leadoff man. Collins will face White Sox right-hander
Shane Smith and will carry some DFS sleeper appeal in the leadoff spot. He has gone 9-for-37 (.243) with a homer, two RBI, two steals and six runs so far in 2025.
UPDATE: Turang was scratched with an illness, so he could be back as early as Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman
Brice Turang ran wild on Sunday, swiping three bags in a 14-1 drubbing of the Athletics. Turang finished the day 2-for-3 with a walk, three runs scored, an RBI, and the aforementioned three steals. The speedster had his doubters coming into the season after a poor back half of 2024, but he is doing his best to prove them wrong, hitting .322 with a .795 OPS and adding 23 runs, three homers, 11 RBI, and eight steals in 84 at-bats. He's been excellent in the leadoff spot for the Brewers and is looking like a steal (literally) for those who drafted him in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.
