Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner looks to be getting a well-deserved veteran's day off after he had started at either first base or designated hitter in each of Boston's last 18 games. Masataka Yoshida will get a chance to rest his legs as Boston's DH rather than playing his usual spot in left field while Turner rests.

He's posted multiple hits in three straight games, raising his slash line to .286/.377/.389 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored and seven doubles through 33 contests.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was a tough out Sunday but did most of his damage in an eight-run eighth inning. He led off the frame with a solo blast to left center and then later walked with the bases loaded and came around to score on a grand slam off the bat of Masataka Yoshida. The 38-year-old is sporting a four-game hit streak during which he's walked three times and hasn't struck out. He's been productive overall in the early going, slashing .286/.390/.417 with two homers, eight RBI, 13 runs and a 12:11 BB:K over 100 plate appearances.

Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's absence from the starting nine looks to be little more than a veteran's day off while the Red Sox and Angels conclude their four-game series with a day game that begins at 11:10 a.m. local time. Outfielder Masataka Yoshida will get a day out of the field to fill Turner's usual spot as Boston's designated hitter.
