Phillies shortstop Trea Turner left Sunday’s recreation in Miami as a consequence of a proper hamstring pressure, in line with the group. He will be evaluated additional within the coming day or so earlier than there’s any phrase as to the severity and the way a lot, if any, time Turner will miss.

“There’s some concern there,” Phillies supervisor Rob Thomson stated after the sport. “Clearly he is having a terrific 12 months. He is a giant a part of this ballclub. I need to preserve folks wholesome, particularly coming down the stretch right here. We’ll know extra tomorrow.”

Turner stated after the sport that he felt “grabbing” and can bear an MRI Monday.

Turner, who homered Sunday earlier than his exit, is hitting .305/.356/.458 with 31 doubles, seven triples, 15 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs and 36 stolen bases. He is the Phillies’ leadoff man and depends fairly a bit on his legs as a giant base-stealing menace and a superb defensive shortstop. That is to say that the hamstring difficulty could possibly be a very huge deal right here. 

Turner was out final season from Could 4 till June 17 as a consequence of a left hamstring harm, although we will not depend on that timetable as predictive, provided that the severity of this harm could possibly be totally different. 

Edmundo Sosa would take over because the on a regular basis shortstop so long as Turner is out. 

The Phillies entered Sunday with a seven-game lead within the NL East, so the division title may be very doubtless not going to be impacted by Turner’s harm. They presently maintain the No. 2 seed and a bye previous the Wild Card Collection, although they sit 4 ½ video games behind the Brewers within the Nationwide League. The Phillies have their eyes on a World Collection title and having a compromised Turner at any level within the playoffs is a giant blow for his or her probabilities at hoisting the trophy. 

That every one means this can be a scenario price monitoring.
