Turner went 3-for-6 with a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's rout of Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

That's now six hits and two steals in the last two games for Turner, who always seems to do well in Atlanta -- his career slash line between SunTrust Park and old Turner Field stands at .328/.376/.574 in 28 games with seven homers, 14 stolen bases 16 RBI and 27 runs. The shortstop is now slashing .288/.333/.466 on the year through 17 games, and Turner's a perfect 8-for-8 on steal attempts.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop did an excellent job setting the table for the Nats, even if his teammates couldn't find a way to bring him around. Turner is slashing only .245/.298/.321 through 12 games since returning from the IL, but Tuesday's performance could be a sign he's about to turn on the jets.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The double was Turner's fourth in his last five games, but otherwise he's been sluggish since coming off the injured list last week, slashing .243/.282/.351 with two steals, two RBI and four runs. The shortstop also committed two errors Friday, suggesting rustiness is an issue with his glove as well as his bat. Turner should snap out of it sooner or later, but his abbreviated rehab assignment -- he played only two games at High-A after missing six weeks with a broken finger -- is having an impact.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a stolen base Friday night against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Turner led off the game with a single up the middle, and he picked up another single in the sixth inning. He would then swipe second base before getting stranded on a double play to end the frame. Friday marked Turner's fifth game of the 2019 season, as he's finally returned to health following six weeks on the injured list due to a broken right index finger.

Turner (finger) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Turner had a two-game rehab stint at High-A Potomac earlier in the week, clearing the way for his return after missing the last six weeks with a fractured finger. The 25-year-old played in only four games before suffering the injury on a hit-by-pitch, and will slot into the leadoff spot in his first game back with the Nationals, per Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic.

Turner (finger) left his rehab assignment at High-A Potomac and rejoined the Nationals for a workout Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner's return to Washington wasn't believed to be the result of any setback he incurred with his fractured finger, so it could signal that the team intends to activate him from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener with the Cubs. The Nationals will presumably assess Turner's condition during the workout before determining whether he's ready to rejoin the big club or if he's in need of more at-bats on the farm. Turner played nine innings at shortstop on back-to-back days at Potomac, going 1-for-8 with a walk and four strikeouts between the two contests.

Turner (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Potomac on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports

EDGE Analysis

Turner has been out six weeks with a broken index finger. The length of his rehab assignment isn't currently known, but he appears to be closing in on a return to Washington.

Turner (finger) hit off a tee Sunday and fielded ground balls at shortstop Tuesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner resumed swinging Sunday for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair his fractured right index finger, so this is a sizeable step forward for the 25-year-old. The next step in his hitting progression figures to be batting practice.

Manager Dave Martinez said Turner (finger) could resume swinging this week, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez stated that Turner is progressing on schedule, though he failed to offer an updated timetable for the 25-year-old's return. Carter Kieboom should continue to fill in at shortstop until Turner is back to full health. Look for his estimated return date to come into focus once he's able to ramp up his baseball activities.

Turner was given a 4-to-8 week timetable to return from his broken finger by general manager Mike Rizzo on Friday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner had an estimated 4-to-6 week timetable when he suffered the injury, though nothing had come from the team directly. May 1 will be the end of four weeks, so Turner will be evaluated at that point to determine when he can return. Given the vagueness of Rizzo's estimate, it's possible Turner doesn't return until late May.
