Trea Turner Is Sitting Out On Saturday
11 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is getting the day off on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. Turner has yet to sit out of a game this season so this is a much-needed breather for the 29-year-old dynamo. Edmundo Sosa is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs. Turner has been a pretty big letdown here in the early going, slashing just .257/.302/.390 with five home runs, 10 RBI, and five stolen bases across 187 at-bats. He could get hot at any time so fantasy managers will obviously stick with him but it's safe to say he hasn't lived up to expectations thus far.
