Outlook Brice Turang
Brice Turang looks to break out of a brief slump as the first-place Brewers gear up for a challenging six-game slate.
Turang hit a brief speed bump over the last week, batting just .083, but still chipped in a home run and a steal. He remains the everyday second baseman for the first-place Brewers (43-26), who lead the NL Central. With no injuries to report, his playing time is completely secure.
His recent 30-day average sits at .210, but our model projects him to rebound toward a .260 mark with 14 homers and 31 steals. Having already swatted 10 home runs, his power growth is real, and his overall .378 OBP guarantees plenty of run-scoring opportunities. Do not panic; his season-long breakout is sustainable.
The Brewers have six games on tap, facing Cleveland at home before traveling to Atlanta. While matchups against Bryce Elder (2.73 ERA) and Martin Perez (2.90 ERA) will test him, he should capitalize on high-ERA options like Slade Cecconi (4.83 ERA). His elite speed and high run-scoring floor make him a must-play. Start him.
