4:17pm: Turner is slated to undergo an MRI tomorrow, according to a report from . Turner told reporters (including Lauber) that he hopes his current ailment proves to be milder than the hamstring strain he suffered last year that sidelined him for six weeks, but an exact timeline wont be known until his test results come back. 2:58pm: Phillies shortstop made an early departure during the seventh inning of todays game with the Marlins due to what the Phils announced as a right hamstring strain. A throwing error from Miami shortstop allowed Turner to reach base, but Turner immediately left the field and headed into the Phils dugout, and was replaced by pinch-runner . Manager Rob Thomson will provide more of an update in his postgame meeting with reporters, but it surely looks like Turner is heading for the injured list. The only question now is the severity of the Ken Giles Jersey strain, and whether or not Turners availability for the playoffs is now in question. Philadelphia entered todays action with a healthy seven-game lead in the NL East, and with the second-best record of the division leaders, the Phillies would receive a first-round bye if the postseason began today. Securing the bye gains even greater importance for the Phils if Turner needs a few more days to recover. Losing Turner would be another huge blow to a Phillies roster that will already be without ace for the playoff run. Turner has been not just Philadelphias best all-around player but one of the top players in all of baseball in 2025 his 6.5 fWAR ranks fourth in the league, topped only by , , and Turner launched his 15th home run of the season today, and the shortstop is now hitting .305/.356/.458 over 637 plate appearances. On top of his 125 wRC+ and 36 stolen bases (in 43 attempts), perhaps the biggest story of Turners season is his enormously improved glovework. After posting subpar defensive metrics acro s the board in 2023-24, Turner has quieted whispers about a po sible move to the outfield by delivering +16 Outs Above Average and +2 Defensive Runs Saved from the shortstop position. Durability has also been a big part of Turners production, as he has mi sed just three of Philadelphias games all season. Sosa is the only other player who has gotten any time at shortstop this year, and while the utilityman is a decent replacement, naturally he brings a lot le s than Turner in terms of overall productivity. could also handle some shortstop in a pinch, and could be called up from the minors to then provide more infield depth if Sosa is taking on more of an everyday role. Star shortstop prospect is having a big season at Double-A, but it doesnt seem too likely that the Phils would have Miller bypa s Triple-A and to s him into the pre surized environment of a pennant race. The pickings are slim in terms of external help, as any player acquired off a big league roster isnt eligible for postseason play. The Phillies can only trade for minor leaguers who havent yet appeared either in the Show or on a 40-man roster in 2025, or they can pick up players via the waiver wire. If a team wants to shed some money off the books by designating a shortstop for a signment, the Phils might be more inclined to make a claim if Turner will mi s significant time. Roberto Alomar Jersey
