Brice Turang is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 15 (2023). Target Turang as a free agent second baseman or shortstop on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The 2018 first-round pick disappointed many with his performance this season, slashing an abysmal .205/.254/.307 with a 27.1% strikeout rate in his first 57 games. The Brewers demoted the rookie on June 6, and he responded with a .926 OPS in 15 games with Triple-A Nashville.
He earned a recall and has hit the ball much harder since returning to the major-league squad on June 28. Of his 13 BBE since his return, eight of them had exit velocities greater than 90 mph. While he has only collected three hits since then, the hard hits will start falling eventually. For example, he nearly knocked in his fourth home run of the season on Saturday but ended up with a 400-foot flyout on a BBE with a .780 xBA.

Turang's 29.4 ft/sec spring speed and nine stolen bases this season are enough to warrant rostering him, but if Turang keeps getting hard contact, he'll eventually become a pleasure to roster.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A.
