Trea Turner Lands on Injured List with Hamstring Strain, Phillies Hope for Postseason Return

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a Grade 1 strained right hamstring, an injury he sustained running out a ground ball on Sunday. Manager Rob Thomson expressed optimism that Turner could return before the end of the regular season and certainly for the postseason, especially if the Phillies secure a first-round bye. Turner, 32, is having an outstanding season, leading the National League with a .305 batting average and ranking second with 36 stolen bases, alongside 31 doubles, seven triples, 15 home runs, and 69 RBI in 140 games. This is his second hamstring injury in two seasons, having missed six weeks last year with a Grade 2 strain.
