Phillies Place Trea Turner, Alec Bohm on IL as MRI Confirms Grade 1 Hamstring Strain

The club expects Turner back for the playoffs after imaging confirmed a minor strain.

Overview

  • Manager Rob Thomson said Turner sustained a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and was moved to the 10-day injured list.
  • Alec Bohm also went on the 10-day IL with a left shoulder issue, and Thomson projected the third baseman could return in about 10 days.
  • Philadelphia recalled Otto Kemp and selected Donovan Walton’s contract, transferring pitcher Daniel Robert to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot.
  • Edmundo Sosa takes over at shortstop, Bryce Harper moves to leadoff, and Kemp starts at third to open a four-game series against the Mets.
  • Turner leads the National League in hits and batting average this season, and team officials say they are hopeful he will be ready for October.
