Losing Brice Turang and William Contreras would be the worst-case scenario for the Milwaukee Brewers, but the injury bug seems to have hit this team.

Manager Pat Murphy felt he had no choice but to play Turang at shortstop, a position he's played plenty of times before, but he's gotten extremely comfortable at second base in the big leagues.

Regardless, Turang wasn't hurt in the field, but it was revealed that he's dealing with a sprained thumb, so being out there, especially in a lopsided loss, could've been a terrible decision in hindsight.

Turang getting hurt would only further lessen this team's infield depth. Remember, Cooper Pratt is on the 10-day Injured List, and Joey Ortiz is still listed as day-to-day.

If that's not enough, Contreras was hit in the wrist by a pitch in a game he likely shouldn't have even been playing in. Jackson Chourio was later pulled at full health, and that came as no surprise knowing just how depleted this slumping offense has become.

On paper, Milwaukee had a perfect plan with Jake Bauers at first, Turang at second, Pratt at shortstop, and then either Ortiz or David Hamilton at third.

Now, they're stuck moving everyone around. Bauers will likely stay at first while his counterpart, Andrew Vaughn, has been picking up reps at third base.

Any excuse to get Vaughn in the everyday lineup is a good one; it's just a matter of finding a spot in the infield where he's comfortable.

Hamilton can be moved around, along with newcomer Jihwan Bae, someone who botched a potential triple play last night that could've avoided a five-run inning for Kyle Harrison.

At the end of the day, it was a bit alarming to see Murphy say Turang's injury "might not be at the best time," according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.

If there's a situation where Contreras would miss time, something that doesn't seem too likely, though, remembering he played most of last season with a broken finger, Quero is the only logical option.

That said, he hasn't exactly been the healthiest either, and he's been in the designated hitter spot with Triple-A Nashville more than catching. 

Quero is currently listed as the team's No. 11 prospect with an ETA of 2026, which comes as no surprise, seeing as he already played in the big leagues this year. 

There is a bit of competition at the catcher spot, something that is always welcomed, with 2027 ETA Marco Dinges being the team's No. 12 prospect.
