Overview

• Manager Rob Thomson said Turner will be ready for Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Oct. 4.
• Turner will not be activated Friday, and the club has not decided whether he will play before the regular season ends.
• Turner reported his most confident workout since the injury, saying grounders and live batting felt 100% while sprinting speed is still being built back.
• The Phillies are weighing a few late at-bats for timing and a potential boost to his .305 NL-leading average against the risk of aggravation, and Turner already has enough plate appearances to qualify.
• The current strain is Grade 1, milder than last year’s Grade 2 hamstring injury, and the Phillies have clinched the division with a first-round bye.
