Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run single in a win over the Astros on Wednesday, extending his on-base streak to 20 games.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has also reached safely in 24 straight starts, and he owns a .302/.396/.500 slash line with a 14.2 percent walk rate and 17.0 percent strikeout rate over that span. Those numbers are reminiscent of vintage Turner from the pinnacle of his career with the Dodgers, and his contributions have played an integral part in keeping the Mariners in contention for an AL wild-card spot.

Turner (knee) will start at first base and bat fifth Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Turner fouled a ball off his knee Saturday and was forced to leave the game, but apparently it's not bad enough to cost him a start. As he approaches his 40th birthday in November, Turner's MLB future is uncertain, but he's shown signs of life with a .303/.398/.494 batting line and four homers in his last 26 games for Seattle.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran turned on a Kumar Rocker offering in the fourth inning and sent it 401 feet to center field for his 10th home run of the season and the Mariners' first run of the game. Turner has now reached safely in eight consecutive contests and in 12 straight starts overall, mustering a .279/.407/.535 slash line with five extra-base hits, five RBI, 10 runs and an impressively modest 13.0 percent strikeout rate over the latter span (54 plate appearances).

Turner went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was a late lineup replacement for Victor Robles (elbow) and made good use of his inclusion into the starting nine, pushing his season OBP to a stellar .344 with his trio of trips on the basepaths. The 39-year-old is showing he still has plenty of life in his bat, now having authored three multi-hit efforts in his last eight games and furnishing a .321 average and 1.031 OPS across 33 plate appearances in that stretch.

Turner is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The 39-year-old was poised to sit Sunday in St. Louis but will instead start the contest since Victor Robles (elbow) was scratched. Turner is off to a slow start in September, as he's gone 4-for-20 with four walks, a double, an RBI and two runs in six games.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a double in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran extended his recent stretch of hot hitting with Friday's production, which pushed his average over the last seven games to .320 (8-for-25). Turner has three of his five extra-base hits with the Mariners in that span, and he's also striking out at just a 10.0 percent clip within that sample of 30 plate appearances.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Turner had started in six of the Mariners' previous seven contests, but all but one of those came against left-handed starting pitchers. The 39-year-old looks like he'll fill the short side of a platoon at first base with Luke Raley while Seattle has all of its key bats available.

Turner went 3-for-5 with two solo homers in Saturday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Turner launched a leadoff shot to left field in his first trip to the plate to put Seattle on the board before then adding a second leadoff homer in the fourth to give his team the lead. The first baseman would go on to reach three times in the contest while posting his first three-hit effort as a member of the Mariners. It marked Turner's second two-homer performance of the season, and he's now driven in and scored at least one run in back-to-back games. The long balls were only his eighth and ninth of the campaign.

Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After going 3-for-15 at the dish while starting in each of the Mariners' last four contests, Turner will head to the bench for the series finale. Three of Turner's previous four starts came against left-handed pitchers, and the Mariners are seemingly viewing him as more of a short-side platoon player at this stage of his career.
