The Brewers lineup is shifting — and one name is quickly rising to the top.
In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show from Detroit to break down Milwaukee’s offensive adjustments, including why Brice Turang is now hitting in the three spot and what’s going on with Sal Frelick.
⚾ Bryce Turang’s Rise
According to Levering:
👉 Brice Turang is the best hitter in the lineup right now
Producing consistently
Driving in runs
Earning a move into a key RBI role
That’s why he’s hitting third — and it could stick.
😬 Sal Frelick’s Slow Start
Frelick hasn’t quite found his rhythm yet:
Still getting opportunities near the top of the order
Known for long at-bats and grinding pitchers down
But clearly still working to get comfortable
The belief:
👉 He’ll be fine — just needs time to get going
🧠 Why the Lineup Is Moving
With injuries impacting the roster:
The Brewers are adjusting roles on the fly
Turang moves into run-producing spots
Frelick rotates through positions to find his rhythm
🔄 What Happens When Everyone Returns?
Once the lineup is healthy again:
Turang could shift back to the top — or stay in the middle
Big names like Yelich and others will change the structure
The goal: balance left-right matchups and maximize production
