Turner (heel) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox are viewing Turner as day-to-day after he exited Monday's 6-2 loss to Seattle with a left heel contusion. The 38-year-old has remained a solid fantasy asset in his first season in Boston, particularly over the past two months. Since June 1, Turner leads the majors in RBI (50), and he's also contributed 11 home runs, 36 runs, two stolen bases and a .311 average during that stretch.

Turner exited Monday's game against the Mariners due to a left heel contusion, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner hurt himself while attempting to beat out an infield single during the ninth inning and had to exit in favor of a pinch runner. Turner is officially listed as day-to-day, so his injury likely isn't anything too severe, but there's a good chance he gets a day off Tuesday in order to recover.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's eighth-inning blast briefly put the Red Sox ahead 3-2. The infielder has been held hitless just twice over 22 games in July, batting .341 (29-for-85) for the month. He's up to a .287/.356/.483 slash line with 17 homers, 70 RBI, 66 runs scored, 25 doubles and four stolen bases through 101 contests. He started at first base Sunday, though he's spent more time at second base and designated hitter over the last week. Regardless of position, Turner is holding down a near-everyday role.
