Turner (wrist) will head to the Nationals' spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Fla. later this week to continue his rehab, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has already begun to do some light throwing and may soon start swinging a bat again with his fractured right wrist starting to show some improvement. The Nationals don't expect it to be long before Turner takes part in simulated games, followed by a rehab assignment soon after that. An exact return date hasn't been fleshed out for Turner, but with the news regarding his recovery sounding positive thus far, he's probably worth holding on to in most formats.

Turner (wrist) did some light throwing on the field prior to Saturday's game, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The throwing was described by Kolko as "very, very light," but this is positive development nonetheless. He has done conditioning work, lifting and even fielding of groundballs in recent days, but these are just the baby steps. Turner will remain without even a vague timetable until he progresses to more arduous activities.

X-rays on Turner's wrist showed healing, but he still hasn't been cleared to partake in baseball activities without the use of a wrist brace, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems like some progress has been made here, although it certainly isn't encouraging to hear that he can't shed the brace yet. That being said, he's been able to do a good amount of things while wearing the brace, such as weightlifting and fielding (without throwing), so it's not like this development completely hinders the speed demon's rehab. Unless things change drastically, it doesn't seem like he'll be ready until a good portion of August is already gone.

Turner (wrist) fielded groundballs with the big-league club Tuesday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is awaiting the results of X-rays he had earlier in the day, and while he was fielding grounders, he was not permitted to throw to first base. Turner is still wearing a brace on his wrist, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports. He did conditioning work and lifted weights recently in Florida, as he continues to make slow progress in his recovery.

Turner (wrist) will undergo follow-up X-rays in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo indicated Sunday that Turner has progressed from the fractured right wrist as anticipated, but the team won't have a clearer idea of the extent of his healing until the results of the X-rays are made available. Turner has yet to resume baseball activities and remains without a firm timetable for a return.

Turner (wrist) has begun rehabbing at the Nationals' spring training complex in West Palm Beach, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop has yet to be cleared for baseball activities, but he's running and staying in shape while he waits for the go-ahead to start fielding and swinging a bat. The Nats have yet to release a timetable for Turner's return, although the team has indicated that he's on schedule.

Turner (wrist) was put on the 10-day disabled list Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the least surprising move of the day, the Nationals placed their star shortstop on the DL following the fracture of his right wrist during Thursday's game. Adrian Sanchez was called up from Triple-A Syracuse in his place while Sammy Solis (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day DL to provide a roster spot. There is still no timetable for Turner's return, but more information will appear in the coming days.

Turner has been diagnosed with a broken right wrist and there is no timetable for his return, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is crushing news for the Nationals as Turner had been a key cog in the top third of the lineup and a game-changer on the basepaths. He suffered the injury late in Thursday's game when he was plunked on the wrist by a pitch and was sent for X-rays directly after the game. There's no timetable for him at this point, but this is an injury that could keep Turner on the shelf for awhile. Stephen Drew and Wilmer Difo stand to platoon at shortstop in Turner's absence unless the Nationals opt to look outside the organization for other shortstop options.

Turner is being sent in for X-rays on his right wrist, MASN's Dan Kolko reports.
EDGE Analysis
The results are set to be released later, but this is a concerning development regardless. Turner was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of Thursday's loss to the Cubs but was able to stay in the game until the top of the ninth before being replaced by Stephen Drew. More updates on Turner's status figure to be made available late Thursday or early Friday.

Turner was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cubs before the ninth inning, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
There has been no word of any injury at this point, but Turner was hit on the wrist by a pitch in the seventh inning, so there's a possibility that had something to do with his early removal. The move could have simply been precautionary, but more should be known following the conclusion of Thursday's contest.
