Overview

  • Trea Turner has been out since a Grade 1 hamstring strain on September 7 and went on the injured list the next day.
  • Manager Rob Thomson called his status "great," noting Turner has been jogging at 50 percent, taking grounders and hitting in the cage.
  • Philadelphia could bring in a minor‑league pitcher for live at‑bats, with reports indicating activation before the regular season ends.
  • Turner led the NL in batting average (.305) and hits (179) at the time of the injury, heightening the impact of his return on lineup depth and seeding.
  • The Phillies are 8–1 without him and he is eligible to be reinstated, though he has not yet been activated as the club balances readiness with caution.
