Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) is progressing well in his recovery from a strained right hamstring and could return during the final week of the regular season, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. After Turner took grounders at shortstop over the weekend, manager Rob Thomson said that "it looks like he's ahead of schedule." Turner's progress since going on the 10-day injured list on Sept. 8 is highly encouraging for the Phillies as the postseason approaches. The Phillies hold an insurmountable 12-game lead in the NL East, and the 32-year-old is among the reasons for that. Turner leads the NL in batting average and has slashed .305/.356/.458 with 15 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases over 637 plate appearances. Edmundo Sosa (groin) initially took over for Turner at short, but he was out of the lineup with a groin injury over the weekend. That left Bryson Stott to handle short, while Donovan Walton and Weston Wilson split time at second.

The Philadelphia Phillies are placing shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a hamstring strain, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The New York Post's Jon Heyman is reporting that the Phillies "seem hopeful" that Turner might be back for the playoffs, and even potentially right before. With the 32-year-old going on the shelf after getting hurt in Sunday's loss to the Miami Marlins, first baseman Bryce Harper will lead off for the Phils in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets. With Turner unlikely to play again in the 2025 regular season, fantasy managers in single-year leagues can now drop him for a replacement. Edmundo Sosa is starting at the 6 in Turner's place on Monday and should see the majority of starts at the position with Turner out for the remainder of September.UPDATE: Turner was diagnosed with a Grade 1, according to manager Rob Thomson. It's less severe than the Grade 2 strain he dealt with in 2024.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber reports that Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) is headed for an MRI exam on his right hamstring on Monday after he left in the seventh inning of Sunday's loss to the Miami Marlins with a hamstring strain. Either way, Turner probably will not play in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets, and fantasy managers should be well prepared for the 32-year-old veteran to land on the injured list. If Turner needs to go on the IL, there's a chance we may not see him again until the playoffs in October, which would obviously be terrible news for fantasy managers still playing for a title. If Turner must miss extended time, Edmundo Sosa is the top candidate to take over everyday duties at the 6 in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) exited Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins with a strained right hamstring, according to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Turner reached on an error in the seventh inning and then removed himself from the game. The Phillies subbed in Edmundo Sosa to replace Turner, who finished the day 1-for-4 with a solo home run. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Turner end up on the 10-day injured list, which would be an unwelcome late-season development for both the Phillies and fantasy managers. The 32-year-old star has put together another terrific campaign, having slashed .305/.356/.458 with 15 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases in 637 plate appearances. Turner is on track to win his second career batting title.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is out of the lineup on Saturday against Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at short and bat eighth. It's a rare day off for Turner, who has played in 139 of the Phillies' 141 games this year. The 32-year-old has slashed .305/.357/.455 with 14 homers, 68 RBI, 93 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases in yet another standout campaign. Turner, the NL leader in batting average, has gone a red-hot 9-for-19 with a triple, four RBI, and a steal in four games this month. There's no indication that Turner is dealing with an injury, so fantasy managers should expect him back in the lineup on Sunday.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-4 in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rangers, including a double, a home run, and five RBI. He also walked twice and stole a base in the contest. The 3x All-Star's bat was cold for about a week, going 2-for-25 (.080) over a six-game stretch before getting on base eight times in the last two games, so he appears to have put that behind him. For the season, the 32-year-old is slashing .286/.342/.434 with 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 74 runs scored, and 26 steals, putting him comfortably in the top five fantasy producers at the position. He'll go up against a familiar face on Saturday in Jacob deGrom, whom he is 12-for-48 (.250) off of, including a double, a triple, and a home run, but also 17 strikeouts, so there are likely better DFS options.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner filled up the stat sheet in Friday's 13-0 win over the Atlanta Braves, going 4-for-6 with two homers, a double, and a stolen base. Turner blasted two solo homers and also came around to score on his other two hits. The 31-year-old continues to be a major contributor in fantasy, even if he isn't quite the hitter he once was in his prime. He is batting .302 with 58 runs, 11 homers, 37 RBI, and 20 stolen bases in 331 at-bats this season. With his spot at the top of a dangerous Phillies' lineup secured, expect Turner's five-category production to continue through the rest of the season.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 5-2 win over the Marlins. This was his third three-hit game of June and his second straight multi-hit performance. The 31-year-old is now slashing .306/.364/.455 with eight home runs, 33 RBI, 50 runs, and 19 stolen bases in what is shaping up to be his best season yet in a Phillies uniform. He's even gotten back to his base-stealing ways, on pace to steal over 40 bases for the first time since 2018. The speedster has already matched his 2024 total in over 50 fewer games. He remains an elite hitter for fantasy, and it's looking like his third-round ADP was a steal.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner had a productive game in a 7-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Turner went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs, and a stolen base to help overtake Chicago in the contest. The veteran infielder is putting together another strong season hitting atop the Philadelphia lineup, batting .303 with 14 doubles, seven homers, 47 runs, 30 RBI, and 19 stolen bases across 271 at-bats. With his 19th stolen base on Wednesday, he already matched his total from the 2024 season, which was the fewest of his career outside of the 2020 shortened season. Turner remains an elite fantasy shortstop in all formats.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with two RBI in his team's 5-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 31-year-old singled twice, scored twice, doubled, and stole base No. 17 of the campaign. Turner put the Phillies' first run of the game on the board in the top of the first when he reached on an infield single and was driven in a few batters later by Nick Castellanos after swiping third base. He'd double and score again two innings later before capping the three-hit effort with another single in the fourth that scored J.T. Realmuto and Edmundo Sosa. The fantasy stalwart is just two bags shy of matching his steal total from 2024 (19), and holds an excellent .306 average through 61 games.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner had another solid game at the plate in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. Turner went 3-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, and a two-run HR. The 31-year-old got things going in the first inning, taking Bowden Francis to the opposite field in the first inning to score two. He later turned on an eighth-inning Erik Swanson offering, depositing it into the left-field bullpen. Turner has pretty much been exactly what fantasy managers have come to expect this season, slashing .305/.363/.452 with seven HR, 28 RBI, and 16 stolen bases in 262 plate appearances.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner kept rolling Sunday with a multi-hit performance in a 5-4 loss to the Athletics. He finished 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI. While Turner entered the week hitting a decent .294/.352/.378, he then went a scorching 12-for-32 with three homers, two doubles, a triple, and four stolen bases over seven games. In the aftermath of that otherworldly stretch, Turner is slashing .310/.365/.443 with five homers, 23 RBI, and 14 steals through 230 plate appearances. The 31-year-old will look to carry this past week's success into a new week during Tuesday's matchup against Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider. However, that may be a tall order for Turner. He hasn't had any success versus Strider, having gone an unsightly 0-for-17 with two strikeouts, no walks, and a hit by pitch against him.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was one of the lone bright spots on offense in the Phils' 4-3 win over the Athletics on Friday. The veteran went 3-for-5 from the leadoff spot, belting his fourth home run of the year, collecting two RBI, and stealing a base in the contest. Philadelphia's 2-3-4 hitters went a combined 0-for-10 against LHP Jacob Lopez. It was Turner's fourth multi-hit effort in the last five games, with 14 multi-hit efforts in 24 games since April 27, during which time the 31-year-old is slashing .371/.394/.543. For the season, the 3x All-Star is now hitting .310 with four home runs, 20 RBI, 34 runs scored, and 13 steals, making him a top 10 fantasy option at the position. Turner will face Jeffrey Springs on Saturday, whom he is 1-for-3 off of lifetime.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-5 out of the leadoff spot in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Rockies. He hit his third homer of the season in the second inning as the first half of back-to-back blasts since Bryce Harper followed with a long ball of his own. Turner also singled, stole a base, and scored in the first inning. He has multiple hits in each of the Phillies' three games in Colorado and is 29-for-85 (.341) over his last 19 games with two home runs and five stolen bases. While his power production has been lower this season, his stolen bases and batting average have trended up enough to still make him a top shortstop play. Hitting atop a productive lineup makes him a strong starting option whenever the Phillies are in action, especially as they finish their series at Coors Field on Thursday and then head to Sutter Health Park for the weekend.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in his team's 7-6 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The North Carolina State product added a single and stole his ninth bag of the season in the victory. Turner did all of his damage in the eighth inning or later on Thursday. He doubled in that frame -- but was left stranded -- and ultimately pushed across the game's winning run in the top of the tenth when he singled in Brandon Marsh off Rays reliever Manuel Rodriguez. He stole second a batter later. The former first-round pick has been excellent recently, tallying at least one knock in 12 of 13 appearances with seven multi-hit efforts -- including three straight. Over that stretch, he's a blistering 23-for-58 (.396) with four extra-base hits, three steals, eight RBI, and ten runs scored. Turner is up to a crisp .310 on the season.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, and two runs scored on Wednesday. His homer came in the top of the ninth inning against Braves closer Raisel Iglesias, propelling the Phillies to a 4-3 win over Atlanta. It was Turner's first home run of the season, and he is now slashing .281/.395/.406 with six runs and four stolen bases. The power has been the only thing that has been missing in the early going, and the superstar figures to once again be one of the best shortstops in fantasy in 2025.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (back) is back at shortstop and is hitting leadoff on Wednesday against the visiting Colorado Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland at Citizens Bank Park. It will be only Turner's second start of the season while battling lower-back spasms, but he entered late in the game as a pinch-hitter on Monday and appears to be fine moving forward, so fantasy managers should be looking to get him back in their starting lineups. The 31-year-old three-time All-Star and former National League batting champion has gone 0-for-4 so far with a run scored, two walks and a strikeout in his six plate appearances. Although he's hit only .212 in 33 career at-bats against Freeland in his career, Turner does have a .763 OPS with two home runs and four RBI against the southpaw.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (back), who was out of the starting lineup for the third straight day on Monday against the Colorado Rockies due to back spasms, appeared as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and walked before scoring the go-ahead run in the 6-1 victory in the team's home opener. Turner is expected to miss another game on Tuesday against Colorado, but he's clearly feeling better and is expected to return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest. The 31-year-old veteran is still searching for his first hit of the 2025 season after going hitless in his first six plate appearance with two walks, a strikeout and a run scored in just two games (one start). Fantasy managers will want to check back later on Tuesday to see if he's back in there, but most likely he won't be available again until Wednesday's game.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (back) is not in the team's lineup for their home-opening series against the Colorado Rockies. Turner has been limited to just one outing thus far while experiencing back spasms that have held him out for three straight contests. Fortunately, the 31-year-old was seen taking ground balls on Monday. He noted that he was feeling better and that he hoped to play again on Wednesday. Turner has no hits in his first four at-bats but has been a good bet for four-category production when he's healthy. Teammate Edmundo Sosa projects to continue filling in at shortstop while the veteran is sidelined.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (back) is not expected to return to the starting lineup until Wednesday, according to manager Rob Thompson. Turner missed his second straight game on Sunday due to back spasms. The organization plans to rest him again on Monday before the team has an off day on Tuesday. That would give Turner four days of rest before likely getting back into the lineup on Wednesday. The expectation is that Edmundo Sosa will continue start at shortstop until Turner is back. Sosa could have some short term fantasy value, but might not be worth adding with Turner possibly returning on Wednesday.
