Trea Turner Removed From Monday's Game Early With Bruised Wrist
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (wrist) was removed from Monday night's game early against the division-rival Miami Marlins with a right-wrist bruise, according to Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Turner will be evaluated further after the game. Before being hit by a pitch on his right hand, Turner went 0-for-3 in the contest to drop his season average to .216 and his OPS to .594. Edmundo Sosa replaced him at the 6 and would likely see most of the starts at shortstop for the Phils going forward if Turner is forced to miss additional time. Fantasy managers will want to check back later or on Tuesday morning for an update on Turner's condition. The three-time All-Star came into Monday's contest with an ugly .219/.269/.330 slash line, a career-worst .598 OPS, seven home runs, 21 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 41 runs scored in a league-high 288 at-bats and 70 games played in his 12th year in the big leagues. Positive regression should be coming for the veteran shortstop, but not much, as he sits with an xBA OF .231 and an xSLG of just .344. Turner sits in just the 37th percentile in hard-hit rate and the ninth percentile in xwOBA. UPDATE: X-rays on Turner's right wrist came back negative, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
