Brewers' Brice Turang Remains at Second Base Amid Shoulder Injury

Brewers infielder Brice Turang is set to open the season as the primary second baseman after a shoulder issue sidelined him temporarily. Although he experienced shoulder fatigue, the Brewers remain optimistic about his availability for Opening Day, with manager Pat Murphy emphasizing that the decision to hold him out of the lineup was precautionary. Turang's struggles during a recent throwing session have led to a short shutdown, but he is expected to return without long-term concerns. Joey Ortiz may start at shortstop in Turang's absence, but Turang's defensive prowess as the reigning Platinum Glove winner solidifies his role at second base. Overall, while Turang's shoulder fatigue has caused some uncertainty, the team believes he will be ready for the regular season. The Brewers are monitoring his condition closely as they prepare for the upcoming games.
