Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Turner (groin) will likely be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Mets, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Roberts sounded as though Turner would be held out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive game Saturday, his availability off the bench would still be an improvement on his status since he didn't appear in any of the last four contests. The 36-year-old has been dealing with groin discomfort since Sunday but would likely avoid a trip to the injured list if he's ultimately available Saturday.
