Trea Turner Not Playing Wednesday
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is taking the day off on Wednesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Edmundo Sosa will replace him at shortstop and bat in the nine-hole against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Turner's disappointing first season in Philadelphia has continued of late, as he's gone 4-for-27 (.148) with no homers, a double, a triple, no RBI and two runs scored in his last seven games. The 30-year-old still has provided his fantasy managers with 21 stolen bases, but everything else has been a big disappointment, considering where he was drafted. In 417 at-bats, he's slashing .245/.297/.384 with 10 homers, 34 RBI and 56 runs scored. Turner is capable of getting hot the rest of the way, but we haven't seen it yet.
