Turner will join the Nationals in Cincinnati on Friday for their series against the Reds, William Ladson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rumors surfaced Thursday about a potential promotion for Turner after he was left off the lineup card at Triple-A Syracuse. Ladson reports that Ryan Zimmerman will likely be placed on the paternity list Friday, which would open up a spot on the roster for Turner. However, given that a player can only be on the paternity list for up to three games, this could potentially be an abbreviated debut for Turner. Once the move is made official, Turner's role with the team moving forward should come into focus. The hyper-talented prospect has 21 extra-base hits in 197 at-bats at Triple-A this season.
