The Milwaukee Brewers have a young, capable group of infielders set to take the field in 2026, and some of them are ready to take over second base. 

After previewing the first basemen listed on the Brewers’ depth chart heading into the season, it is time to identify what the situation at second base will look like. 

Headlined by rising star Brice Turang, Milwaukee has five names listed on its depth chart under second base. Let’s learn about them. 

Brice Turang: Like many others on the roster, Turang is a product of the Brewers’ farm system. The organization selected him with the 21st pick in the first round of the 2018 MLB Draft, and he eventually made his debut on March 30, 2023. 

After working through the growing pains of his rookie season, Turang broke out in 2024, establishing himself as an elite defender with a solid bat. Turang’s efforts as a defender have earned him Platinum and Gold Glove awards. 

However, as Turang’s offense improved last season, his defensive prowess declined. But, according to analysis done in August by Jason Wang of Brewer Fanatic, Turang’s diminished numbers are more nuanced. Therefore, context is important. 

Heading into his fourth MLB season, Turang is still just 26 years old. He has plenty of room to grow, but the Brewers are going to rely on him to be one of the marquee talents on the roster, and he will need to deliver if they hope to achieve their goals. 

Andruw Monasterio: I discussed Monasterio’s impact while previewing Milwaukee’s first base depth. Monasterio played all over the infield in his third MLB season with the Brewers, but most of his reps came at shortstop (37 games).  

He only played in 10 games while making eight starts at second base in 2025, but he answered the call when needed. Across 68 innings, Monasterio did not have any errors at the position. Both Monasterio and Turang debuted in the same year, and it will be interesting to see what they can provide at second base heading into year four. 

Caleb Durbin: So, 2025 served as Durbin’s rookie year and, during it, he logged time at third base, second base, and shortstop. Most of his time came at third base, but like Monasterio, he did log 10 games at second. In those games, he registered a .947 fielding percentage while turning five double plays and only committing one error. 

Durbin will probably see most of his time at third base again, but he will have to remain ready to play second base if needed. 

Anthony Seigler: Through 34 games in his rookie season with the Brewers, Seigler did not see any action at second base. However, he did start 30 games at the position with Triple-A Nashville and logged a .992 fielding percentage.  

It is hard to say where the Brewers will place Seigler in 2026, but it is clear he can manage second base if the responsibility presents itself. 

Jett Williams: The 22-year-old Williams was one of the highly coveted prospects to come to Milwaukee in the trade that sent All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets. Following the trade, Williams told the media that he is willing to play anywhere. 

Williams has yet to make his MLB debut, and he spent most of his time at shortstop last season. However, he did log 28 games between New York’s Double-A and Triple-A affiliates. He is an effective defender with a ton of upside, which gives Milwaukee options when it comes to his placement.
