Trea Turner Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (illness) is "under the weather" and is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox, interim manager Don Mattingly told Phillies reporter Paul Casella. Turner could be available to pinch hit or pinch run off the bench, if needed, which means there is a good chance he will be back in action for Thursday's series finale. Edmundo Sosa will make the start at short in his place and will hit ninth against Red Sox right-hander Sonny Gray on Wednesday. The day off might be a good thing for Turner, who has gone just 8-for-44 (.182) with two RBI and four runs scored in his last 10 games to drop his season slash line down to .234/.283/.345 with a .628 OPS. The 32-year-old three-time All-Star has only four home runs, 13 RBI, 24 runs scored, and four steals in his first 171 plate appearances. Sosa should be avoided in the nine-hole in DFS. He's hitless in just three career at-bats against Gray, too.

Across his first 78 plate appearances of 2026, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is hitting .260/.308/.397 with two home runs, seven RBI, 13 runs scored, and one stolen base. The 32-year-old has a long track record of strong MLB production, so it's too early in the season for fantasy managers to panic. However, Turner is showing some signs of age-related decline. For one, his strikeout rate has risen from 16.7% to 21.8% while his barrel and hard-hit rates currently sit at just 3.6% and 28.6%. Perhaps most concerningly, Turner has attempted just one stolen base across 18 games played after going 36-for-43 as a base stealer across 141 games in 2025. The veteran shortstop is locked into everyday playing time at the top of the Phillies' order. He should be able to rack up counting stats and has plenty of time to heat up as the season progresses. Still, Turner's fantasy value is trending in the wrong direction in the midst of a relatively slow start to the year.

For the second straight season, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Tre Turner missed time with a hamstring injury, limiting him to 141 games. Turner still managed to win his second batting title (.304 batting average), but he was unable to reach the 20-homer mark (15 dingers) for the first time in a full season since 2019 with the Washington Nationals. In addition to his 15 homers and .304 average, the 32-year-old three-time All-Star had 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases in his third season with the Phillies. Injuries are a concern for Turner, but he proved last year that he still has the sprint speed to swipe 30-plus bags as he nears his mid-30s. And if he manages to stay healthy, the counting stats should be there as the table-setter for a very potent Philly offense. Turner is a borderline top-25 fantasy asset and is the No. 5-ranked fantasy shortstop at RotoBaller going into the 2026 season.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) will come off the 10-day injured list before the team's regular-season finale against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. Manager Rob Thomson said the plan is to give Turner a few innings at shortstop as the second-seeded Phillies gear up for the playoffs. They've gone about three weeks without Turner, who strained his right hamstring in a loss to the Miami Marlins on Sept. 7. The three-time All-Star is in position to win his second National League batting title and has slashed .305/.356/.458 with 15 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases in 140 games and 637 plate appearances.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) had another encouraging day of work on Friday, but he will not come off the 10-day injured list to play on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins, according to Lochlahn March of the Philadelphia Inquirer. However, Turner may return on Sunday. The 32-year-old All-Star and likely National League batting champion in 2025 has been sidelined since Sept. 8 with a right-hamstring strain. The Phillies have not rushed him back after already locking up a playoff spot and a first-round bye, but they would like him to get some at-bats this weekend before the end of the regular season. Barring a setback, Turner should be a lock to play in Game 1 of the Division Series on Oct. 4. They will be hoping that Turner can pick up right where he left off before his injury. He's currently hitting .305 (179-for-587) on the year with 15 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs, and 36 steals.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) will not play on Friday and isn't guaranteed to come off the 10-day injured list for the final series of the regular season this weekend against the visiting Minnesota Twins at Citizens Bank Park, according to manager Rob Thomson. "Still not sure about the weekend, but we know that he'll be ready for the playoffs," Thomson said. Turner has faced live pitching and will add in some running and agility drills on Thursday. He's been out since straining his right hamstring on Sept. 7, but he's making progress and is on the cusp of a return. The Phillies are set to have a first-round bye in the postseason, so their first game in October won't come until Oct. 4 in Game 1 of the NLDS. The 32-year-old Turner is currently in line to win the NL batting title with a .305 average, and he also still leads the NL with 179 hits, so it's great news that the Phils will have him in the playoffs.

The Athletic's Matt Gelb writes that Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) "could be activated for the final series of the season against the Minnesota Twins," which starts on Friday. The Phillies have been "thrilled" by Turner's recovery from a strained right hamstring and would love to get him some at-bats this weekend before the postseason begins in October. The 32-year-old All-Star is scheduled to face live pitching on Tuesday and Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park, and if he gets through that without any setbacks, it could pave the way for him to be cleared to come off the 10-day injured list on Friday. Despite being out the last two weeks with his hamstring injury, Turner still leads the National League with 179 hits on the year. He's leading the league with a .305 average, 15 homers, 69 RBI, and 36 steals in 140 games. Philly is going to need Turner fully healthy if they want to get back to the World Series.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) is progressing well in his recovery from a strained right hamstring and could return during the final week of the regular season, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. After Turner took grounders at shortstop over the weekend, manager Rob Thomson said that "it looks like he's ahead of schedule." Turner's progress since going on the 10-day injured list on Sept. 8 is highly encouraging for the Phillies as the postseason approaches. The Phillies hold an insurmountable 12-game lead in the NL East, and the 32-year-old is among the reasons for that. Turner leads the NL in batting average and has slashed .305/.356/.458 with 15 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases over 637 plate appearances. Edmundo Sosa (groin) initially took over for Turner at short, but he was out of the lineup with a groin injury over the weekend. That left Bryson Stott to handle short, while Donovan Walton and Weston Wilson split time at second.

The Philadelphia Phillies are placing shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a hamstring strain, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The New York Post's Jon Heyman is reporting that the Phillies "seem hopeful" that Turner might be back for the playoffs, and even potentially right before. With the 32-year-old going on the shelf after getting hurt in Sunday's loss to the Miami Marlins, first baseman Bryce Harper will lead off for the Phils in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets. With Turner unlikely to play again in the 2025 regular season, fantasy managers in single-year leagues can now drop him for a replacement. Edmundo Sosa is starting at the 6 in Turner's place on Monday and should see the majority of starts at the position with Turner out for the remainder of September. UPDATE: Turner was diagnosed with a Grade 1, according to manager Rob Thomson. It's less severe than the Grade 2 strain he dealt with in 2024.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber reports that Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) is headed for an MRI exam on his right hamstring on Monday after he left in the seventh inning of Sunday's loss to the Miami Marlins with a hamstring strain. Either way, Turner probably will not play in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets, and fantasy managers should be well prepared for the 32-year-old veteran to land on the injured list. If Turner needs to go on the IL, there's a chance we may not see him again until the playoffs in October, which would obviously be terrible news for fantasy managers still playing for a title. If Turner must miss extended time, Edmundo Sosa is the top candidate to take over everyday duties at the 6 in Philadelphia.
