Turner went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and four stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Little more than a week after setting a new franchise record with four steals in a game, Turner does it again. The 23-year-old now has 11 swipes in his last 15 games, pushing him to the top of the MLB leaderboard with 32 on the year -- one more than Billy Hamilton.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk and four stolen bases in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
With Mets hurler Jacob deGrom and closer Addison Reed limiting the Nationals to four hits on the afternoon, Turner was given the green light by manager Dusty Baker to try and manufacture runs with his legs. While Turner was stranded in scoring position in three of his four plate appearances and never crossed home plate, his aggressiveness on the basepaths allowed him to establish a new franchise record for steals in a game. With 26 swipes on the season, Turner is just three shy of the Reds' Billy Hamilton's major-league leading total, which is even more impressive when considering that Turner missed nearly two weeks in April with a strained hamstring.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and three stolen bases in Thursday's win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old is arguably the hottest leadoff hitter in the league right now, and Turner has put together a .390/.432/.488 slash line with 10 steals and nine runs in his last nine games. Expect him to continue racking up big numbers in those fantasy categories from atop a very potent Nats offense.
