Turner went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

After going 1-for-7 in his first two games since returning from the DL, Turner found his stroke again. The 24-year-old hasn't supplied quite as much power or batting average as he did in 73 games last year, but his 37 steals in 71 games in 2017 have still given him plenty of value when he's been healthy.

Turner (wrist) was officially activated from the 60-day DL on Tuesday and is leading off and starting at shortstop against the Marlins, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It had already been confirmed that Turner was on track to be activated, and the Nationals waste no time deploying him back atop the lineup. With a little over a month left in the season, Turner still has plenty of time to make a significant impact in all five roto categories -- most notably steals and runs. He hit .279/.324/.422 with seven home runs and 35 steals in 68 games prior to suffering the injury.

Turner (wrist) will return to the Nationals on Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner struggled during his rehab assignment, as he went just 2-for-21 over seven games. His performance is less important than how his wrist felt after those games, though, and Turner is apparently feeling good enough to make his way back to the majors. The Nationals will be able to work Turner back slowly, as Wilmer Difo has performed admirably in his absence, but Turner's line drive ability, baserunning and defense are too good to leave on the bench down the stretch. Expect an official roster move to be made sometime Tuesday, as the Nationals will need to clear a 40-man roster spot to get Turner off the 60-day DL.

Turner (wrist) played five innings at shortstop and went 0-for-3 at the plate in his first rehab game with Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After being moved to the 60-day disabled list earlier this month, Turner won't be eligible for activation until Aug. 29, so it's expected that he'll remain with Syracuse for at least the next week. Unsurprisingly, Turner was eased back into action in his first game action since June 29, when he fractured his right wrist after being hit by a pitch. Turner should eventually play full games with Syracuse on back-to-back games before the rehab assignment comes to an end, at which point the Nationals will reinsert him back into the lineup in an everyday role at shortstop or center field.

Turner (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has been out since June 29 with the wrist injury, and since he is on the 60-day DL, he cannot be activated prior to Aug. 29. Once activated, he should take over as the everyday shortstop in an effort to get locked in prior to the postseason. He was hitting .279 with seven home runs and 35 steals in 315 plate appearances before the injury.

Turner (wrist) was moved to the 60-day disabled list prior to Wednesday's game, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

As Kolko acknowledged, this move will not impact Turner's timetable whatsoever, as the 24-year-old is still a couple weeks away from his return, at the earliest. The club transferred Turner to the 60-day DL due to Brian Goodwin's placement on the disabled list (groin), in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Alejandro De Aza.

Turner (wrist) took batting practice on the field Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a huge step for Turner, as he had previously been limited to rotational exercises and fielding exercises. There is no specific timetable for his return to the big-league lineup, but it's possible he will be able to return before the end of the month.

Turner (wrist) has progressed to rotational exercises, but hasn't been cleared to hit as of yet, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner was able throw from 60-to-75 feet Wednesday while working on grounders and his tosses from second base prior to Washington's game against the Marlins. This provides another key step in Turner's recovery, as he believes that he can make it back to the big-league club in time for 30-to-40 games before the end of the regular season. While that may be a tad premature, all that's left between the 24-year-old and a rehab assignment is being cleared to start hitting again. He will likely require an extended rehab assignment, but a late-August return date isn't out of the question.

Turner (wrist) was able to take grounders and throw from second base prior to Washington's game against the Marlins on Wednesday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner has been easing his way back into the fold during his time on the disabled list, with Wednesday marking the first time that he's been able to field ground balls on the diamond. The 24-year-old will continue ramping up his efforts, as he's expected to begin hitting in the very near future. He still has a way to go before rejoining the club, but these activities provide a positive sign for Turner's progress.

Turner (wrist) may be cleared to resume hitting in the coming days as he continues to progress during his rehab, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals will likely ease Turner into hitting activities slowly, with the 24-year-old presumably getting some work in with a tee and in soft toss before progressing to batting practice. The nature of Turner's injury will leave some question about his ability to drive the ball with authority once he eventually comes off the disabled list, but even if he's slow to regain power, he'll still likely offer enough production in terms of runs and stolen bases to bring value to fantasy owners.
