Brice Turang has been a key player for the Brewers this season, with a .317 batting average and 15 RBIs over 30 games. His absence in the upcoming game against the Chicago White Sox might impact the Brewers' lineup. Caleb Durbin or Joey Ortiz could step in to fill the second base position if Turang cannot play.

Turang's recent performance shows a dip, with a .167 average in the last three games. This follows an illness that previously kept him out on April 30. The Brewers will face the White Sox at Rate Field, and Turang's status remains uncertain for this game.

Paul DeJong's absence means José Tena will likely take over at third base for the Nationals. Tena has a batting average of .261 this season with no home runs and five RBIs. This change could affect the lineup for the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

DeJong played 16 games this season with a batting average of .204. He collected 11 hits in 54 at-bats but has yet to hit a home run. His performance on the road has been challenging, with a batting average of .107 in away games. This injury will pause any momentum he might have been building.

Jung's two hits against the Athletics bring his total to 22 hits for the season. His batting average now stands at .282 over 78 at-bats. In the last five games, his average is .45, showing solid form at the plate. On the road, he continues to excel with an average of .356 and has hit two home runs away from home.

His strikeout performance against the Athletics added to his season total, bringing it to 38 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings. Eovaldi's ERA remains strong at 2.21, showing his effectiveness on the mound.

In his last three games, he has maintained a low ERA of 1.5 with a K/9 of 11.0. This shows his ability to keep batters from scoring while striking out many opponents.

Kyle Higashioka's uncertain status may affect the Texas Rangers' lineup in their upcoming home game against the Athletics on May 1st. Higashioka has played in 17 games this season, hitting .254 with one home run and eight RBIs. Jonah Heim, the starting catcher, may see more playing time if Higashioka is unavailable.

Higashioka has been effective at home with a .324 average, contributing significantly with five doubles and one home run. In recent games, he hit .250 with two doubles and three RBIs. If Higashioka misses time, Tucker Barnhart could also see more action as the backup catcher.

Isaac Collins has played in 18 games this season, starting in 8 of them. He has a batting average of .243 with 9 hits out of 37 at-bats. Collins has been on a good streak recently, with a .500 average and 1.633 OPS in his last 3 games.

The Milwaukee Brewers' next game is against the Chicago White Sox on May 1, 2025. If Collins misses the game, players like Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich, who are also in the outfield depth chart, might see adjustments in their roles. There is no previous injury record for Collins, making this a new concern for the team.

Frelick's two-hit game against the White Sox lifted his batting average to .302 over 30 games this season. His performance also included his fourth double, adding to his total of 32 hits.
