EDGE Analysis

His start at second base allowed manager Alex Cora to maximize the team's offensive potential. For one night, it worked.

Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that Turner will play second base about once per week.

Turner is starting at second base and batting third in Friday's game versus the Cubs, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner entered play Friday having seen eight innings of action at second base this season, but this is his first start at the position since all the way back in 2015. The goal of the move is to inject more offense into the lineup, as this allows Masataka Yoshida to be the designated hitter and both Jarren Duran and Adam Duvall to start in the outfield.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that Turner could play second base, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cora indicated he could deploy some creative alignments with the return of Yu Chang (wrist), who will serve as the team's primary shortstop when activated this weekend.

Turner currently rides a six-game hit streak, going 11-for-24 with two home runs, nine RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch.

His 49 RBI ranks second on the team behind Rafael Devers (66). The 38-year-old Turner has been clutch all season for Boston, posting a .350 average and .965 OPS with RISP.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Turner could be used at second base in the coming days as the team looks to jumpstart its offense, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner has made four appearances at second base this season, but his last start at the position came all the way back in September of 2015. Given that he's now 38, it would be a stretch to think he could handle the position regularly. It seems as if the Red Sox might be willing to give it a try, though, given how little they've gotten from the keystone from an offensive standpoint. Turner's fantasy managers would certainly welcome him picking up second base eligibility.

EDGE Analysis

Turner will get a breather after he went 5-for-14 with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs scored while starting all three games of the team's series with the Yankees, including both contests Sunday. The 38-year-old has been on a tear in June, batting .318 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base over 66 at-bats in 16 games during the month.
