Turner is unlikely to make his scheduled spot start Friday after pitching in relief Wednesday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Turner was initially expected to take Joe Ross' turn in the Nationals' rotation, the 25-year-old tossed 54 pitches across four scoreless innings of relief Wednesday, essentially ruling him out as Friday's starter against the Phillies. A.J. Cole is now expected to make the start, while Turner should continue to provide length out of the bullpen for the time being.
