Trea Turner Could Return Sunday Or Monday
6 months agoThe Philadelphia Phillies are being vague about when shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) will return from the 10-day injured list, but it's a possibility that he'll be back on Sunday or Monday. Turner ran at close to 100 percent intensity on Thursday and did some more running again on Friday. The 30-year-old All-Star made excellent progress from a left-hamstring strain that he suffered in early May and should be back for next week's series at home against the visiting San Diego Padres without even going on a minor-league rehab assignment. The former 13th overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 2014 out of North Carolina State is a must-start in all fantasy leagues when he's healthy. In 137 at-bats before getting injured, Turner was swinging a hot bat with a .343 average (47-for-137) with 10 steals, two homers and nine RBI. Edmundo Sosa will return to a bench role when Turner is back.
