Turner went 5-for-5 with a run scored and a pair of doubles in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was able to score on an error in the third inning after smacking his second double of the game. His other three hits were singles, and he accounted for nearly half of the Nationals' 11 hits in total. During the shortstop's 14-game hitting streak, Turner is 27-for-57 (.474) with three homers, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases. For the season, he's slashing .350/.410/.617 with six homers, three steals, 17 RBI and 24 runs scored in 30 contests.

Turner went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 10-2 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He got the Nats' offensive eruption started with a two-run double in the third inning, extending his hitting streak to 13 games in the process. The streak has pushed Turner's slash line on the season up to .322/.388/.583, but if there were a blemish on his performance Friday, it's that he was caught stealing for the fourth time in seven attempts this year -- curiously poor numbers after he went 35-for-40 in 2019.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The steal was only his third of the season, but all three have come in the last nine games. Turner's been on a roll, hitting safety in 12 straight and posting a .404/.472/.745 slash line over that stretch with three homers, eight RBI and 15 runs, and his comfort level at the plate has extended to the basepaths as well.

Turner went 3-for-3 with a triple, three RBI and two runs in Sunday's win against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has swung a hot bat recently as he's now reached base safely in each of the past 14 contests. His three RBI in Sunday's win matched his highest single-game total of the season, and he now has 13 RBI and 12 extra-base hits while carrying a .949 OPS.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop took Elieser Hernandez deep in the third inning to bring the Nats to within a run of the Marlins, but neither team scored again. Turner is slashing .289/.350/.522 with five homers, 10 RBI and 15 runs, but his one steal in four attempts remains disappointing.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Turner crushed his fourth homer of the year for the Nationals' third and final run of the game. It's second consecutive three-hit effort, raising his slash line to .292/.305/.500 with eight RBI and 10 runs scored in 18 games. Turner has stolen 30-plus bases in each of the last four seasons, but he's 0-for-3 on the basepaths in 2020.

Turner went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 15-3 rout of the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Every Nats starter, and 11 players in total, got at least one hit on the night, but it was Turner who set the tone from the top of the order. The shortstop is red hot right now - over his last six games, he's hitting .370 (10-for-27) with a double, two homers, five RBI and seven runs -- but fantasy GMs invested in Turner won't feel comfortable with his performance until he finally steals his first base of 2020.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
He smacked the second pitch he saw from Rick Porcello -- an 89 mph fastball at the top of the strike zone -- the other way down the right-field line for a 356-foot homer. Turner has gone yard on consecutive nights, giving him three home runs on the year, but his .255/.288/.455 slash line -- as well as his 0-for-3 performance on steal attempts -- is still well below expectations.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 16-4 rout of the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
He took Steven Matz deep in the third inning, one of four homers the Nats launched on the night, for his second long ball of the year. Turner had gone just 1-for-20 over his prior five games, but the shortstop -- and nearly the entire Washington lineup -- woke up in a big way as the team began a 10-day road trip.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and a caught stealing in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
After a couple of shaky games to start the season, Turner flipped the switch and has now reeled off three straight two-hit efforts. He's still looking for his first stolen base of the campaign, but his .333/.400/.611 slash line through 20 plate appearances has given him plenty of fantasy value without the pilfers.
