Phillies' Trea Turner Exits With Right Hamstring Strain, MRI Set Monday

Edmundo Sosa replaces him at shortstop pending evaluation.

Overview

  • Turner left in the seventh inning after straining his right hamstring while running through first on a throwing error during a 5-4 loss in Miami.
  • He is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess severity, and manager Rob Thomson said there is concern about his status.
  • Edmundo Sosa entered as a pinch runner and finished at shortstop, and he would be in line for most of the workload if an injured-list move follows.
  • Turner leads the National League in hits and is batting .305, having homered in the sixth inning before exiting.
  • Philadelphia holds a seven-game NL East lead heading into a four-game home series against the Mets, followed by a road set with the Dodgers.
