The Brewers' middle infield question is settled, says Pat Murphy: Joey Ortiz at shortstop and Brice Turang at second.

Murphy praised the medical team for getting Turang's shoulder MRI scheduled, read and a second opinion completed all in one day yesterday.

Fantasy Impact:

Turang’s shoulder soreness nixed a shortstop shift, but it won’t delay his Opening Day role as Milwaukee’s second baseman, per Murphy’s Tuesday update. The Platinum Glove winner’s defense shines. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his elite glove securing everyday play and his speed adding stolen-base value for the Brewers early in 2025.
