Trea Turner Getting A Breather On Wednesday
5 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner will head to the bench for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting San Diego Padres as the Phillies go for the three-game sweep. Turner just returned from a long stint on the injured list earlier this week with a significant hamstring strain, so his day of rest on Wednesday was likely planned as they ease the 30-year-old All-Star back into the mix. The Phillies have an off day coming on Thursday, so Turner's next chance to get into the lineup will be on Friday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. In his first two games back on Monday and Tuesday against San Diego, Turner went 3-for-10 with a run scored. In 147 at-bats this year, Turner is hitting an impressive .340 with two homers, nine RBI and 10 steals. Edmundo Sosa is manning the 6 and will hit seventh against Padres right-hander Matt Waldron on Wednesday.
