Overview

  • Manager Rob Thomson said Turner will start at shortstop Sunday, play only a few innings, and could be pulled early.
  • Team trainers cleared Turner following a Sept. 7 right hamstring strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list the next day.
  • The Phillies are locked into the NL’s No. 2 seed after a 5-0 loss to the Twins, with the Brewers clinching the top seed and home-field advantage.
  • Philadelphia expects Turner to be ready for NLDS Game 1 on Oct. 4, with a bye-week plan that includes workouts and an intrasquad game.
  • Turner leads the NL with a .305 average and has 15 home runs, 69 RBIs and 36 steals this season; Max Kepler was ill but could be available off the bench.
