Player Outlook
Trea Turner was playing in the first year of a new huge deal in a new city, so history tells us there would be some bumps in the road for the talented superstar. However, even his harshest critic would not have predicted Turner having a .235/.290/.368 line as last as Aug. 3 and hitting in the eighth spot of the lineup. Philly fans, as they are well-known for, cheered him into a hot streak? Turner got hot in a well-timed series against the lowly Royals in early August and hit .337/.389/.668 the rest of the season with 16 homers, 42 runs and 42 RBIs helping push his final numbers close to what he did in 2022. The batting average hole he dug for himself was too much to climb out of, and the lineup demotion cut into his RBIs, but the homers were up while the steals and runs held true. One would have to hope the worst of things is behind Turner and 2024 could be a MVP-type seasons for him if he can play at his late pace. That elusive 30-30 season should happen in 2024.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Back in lineup for Game 1

    Turner (elbow) is back in the lineup for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series on Tuesday versus the Marlins. Turner will start at shortstop and bat second against the Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. He sat out of Sunday's regular-season finale after taking a pitch off his left elbow Saturday, but there was never much concern about his readiness for Philly's best-of-three series versus Miami.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Will sit Sunday

    Turner (elbow) will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Manager Rob Thomson stated after the second half of Saturday's twin bill that Turner is fine, but he'll miss Sunday's matchup. He'll presumably be good to go for the NL Wild Card Series, though confirmation on his availability likely won't come until early next week.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Pulled after HBP

    Turner was removed from Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets due to a left elbow contusion, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Turner was drilled by a pitch in the top of the seventh inning, though he was initially able to remain in the contest to run the bases. The early diagnosis brings good news, but the Phillies will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the star shortstop with the playoffs starting early next week. He'll be considered day-to-day and could be held out of the regular-season finale to help get him as healthy as possible for the postseason.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Resting for afternoon game

    Turner will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets. The Phillies will be the fourth seed in the National League regardless of what happens over the weekend, so it's unlikely that they ask many of their star players to play twice in one day. Turner owns a 1.002 OPS with 16 homers since the start of August, entering the playoffs on a high note despite a rough start to his time in Philadelphia. Edmundo Sosa will take over at shortstop in his absence.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Steps out of lineup

    Turner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. The Phillies punched their ticket to the playoffs with Tuesday's win over the Pirates, so Turner will receive Wednesday off after making 18 straight starts. The 30-year-old delivered an ugly first half but has a .308/.361/.621 slash line since the start of August to improve his season-long OPS to .770

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Stays red hot

    Turner went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta. The 30-year-old continued his torrid play Tuesday, swiping his 27th base and launching his 26th homer -- a game-tying solo shot in the ninth inning off Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias. Turner has been a hit machine lately, recording multi-hit efforts in 12 of his last 15 games, including four straight. In 34 games since Aug. 4, the five-tool shortstop has posted a slash line of .388/.430/.820 with an incredible 16 home runs, 10 doubles, one triple, 41 RBI, 34 runs and six steals across 151 plate appearances. Turner's batting average has risen from a paltry .236 to a respectable .272 during that same time frame.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Activated from paternity leave

    Turner was activated from the paternity leave list Thursday. Turner will be re-inserted into the lineup ahead of their weekend series at home against the Marlins. The star shortstop comes into action Friday on quite a heater, having homered seven times over his last seven games.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Goes on paternity leave

    Turner was placed on the paternity list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Padres. Turner will likely miss the final two games of the Phillies' three-game set in San Diego as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. He went 2-for-6 with a homer and two RBI in Monday's series opener.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Extends hitting streak to 15 games

    Turner went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and an additional run in Monday's 9-7 victory versus the Padres. Turner put the Phillies ahead 6-1 with his two-run shot in the second inning. He had already singled at that point, extending his hitting streak to 15 games.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Big night in Saturday's loss

    Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers. The shortstop extended his hitting streak to 13 games with yet another impressive effort, and over that stretch Turner is slashing .357/.383/.929 with nine of his 21 homers and three of his 25 steals on the season. The 30-year-old has now posted his third straight 20-25 season, and he has yet to be caught stealing in 2023 -- in fact, he's nabbed 30 straight bags dating back to last September. Turner's career 85.9 percent success rate on the basepaths is the second-highest of all time among players with more than 200 attempts, behind only Carlos Beltran's 86.4 percent mark.

Turner's hitting streak now spans nine games, during which he has batted .342 (13-for-38) with five home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI, 11 runs, one steal, and a gaudy 1.155 OPS. Turner's season-long batting average has risen from .248 to .255 in that same timeframe, still a far cry from his .295 career mark.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Homers twice against former club

    Turner went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

Turner's bat has come alive in August, and over the last 14 games he's slashing .370/.414/.704 with six doubles, four homers, one steal, nine runs and 12 RBI.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Stays hot Saturday

    Turner went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Twins. The Phillies' offensive malaise Saturday didn't slow down Turner's resurgence. The shortstop has hit safely in nine straight games, collecting multiple hits in five of them and batting .457 (16-for-35) over that stretch with six doubles, two homers, one steal, six runs and 10 RBI. While his numbers on the season remain well below expectations, Turner appears to have flipped the switch and could be poised for a stretch run worthy of a player who signed a $300 million contract over the winter.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Goes yard Thursday

    Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-2 victory over the Nationals.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Showing signs of life

    Turner went 3-for-7 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader split with the Nationals. Facing his former club, Turner collected two-baggers in each end of the twin bill, extending his extra-base hit streak to four games. The shortstop has been mired in nearly a season-long slump to kick off the 11-year, $300 million contract he signed with Philadelphia in the offseason, but despite a career-worst .677 OPS he still has 11 homers, 22 steals (without a caught stealing), 40 RBI and 63 runs through 112 games. A big finish to 2023 could re-establish him as a first-round pick at 2024 draft tables.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Delivers three XBH over weekend

    Turner went 4-for-12 with a home run, two doubles and five RBI during the Phillies' three-game series with the Royals over the weekend. In what's been a disappointing first season in Philadelphia, Turner might have had his finest moment in a Phillies uniform Saturday. He contributed two extra-base hits in the Phillies' 9-6 win, including a go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning that snapped a 21-game stretch without a long ball. Despite Turner's solid weekend, the Phillies aren't yet ready to move him up from the bottom-third of the lineup. He'll start at shortstop and bat seventh in Monday's series opener with the Nationals.
