Brewers' Brice Turang: Drives in lone run in win
Rotowire
Turang went 1-for-2 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Cubs.

The second baseman has gone just 2-for-18 with four RBI over four contests since the All-Star break.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Collects two hits, steals base
Rotowire
Turang went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

The swipe was his 28th of the season, second most in the majors. Fantasy managers should have been aware of Turang's speed coming into the campaign after he swiped 26 bags in 137 games last year, but the second baseman's other offensive stats have been a pleasant surprise. He's slashing .290/.354/.406 with five homers, 33 RBI and 39 runs through 317 plate appearances.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Blasts homer in loss
Rotowire
Turang went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Angels.
Turang plated the final run of the contest with his 419-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. The second-year infielder has gone deep four times through 68 games this season after hitting six homers in 137 contests last year. Turang's skill set is more centered on speed than power, so anything fantasy managers get in the homer department is a nice bonus. The speedster has made a big impact on the rosters of fantasy managers who had the foresight to pick him up late in fantasy drafts or on the waiver wire, as he's slashing .291/.359/.406 on the season with 25 RBI, 35 runs and 26 stolen bases in 27 attempts.
