Turner was placed on the disabled list with a strained hamstring, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington had said that Turner was expected to miss a few games after suffering a hamstring injury Saturday, but it appears that he's due for a more extended absence. At this point in time, there's no timeframe for his return, but it's possible that he'll be able to return shortly after becoming eligible if his recovery doesn't incur any setbacks. With Turner out, Stephen Drew will likely see an increase in playing time at shortstop.

Turner (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This comes as no surprise, as the speedy shortstop pulled his hamstring during Saturday's game. Turner isn't expected to miss extended time and will be replaced by the veteran Stephen Drew on Sunday.

Turner's injury that forced him to leave Saturday night's game against the Phillies is a pulled hamstring, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dusty Baker said there's no defect in the muscle, and that Turner will miss a couple of days.

Turner was removed from Saturday's game with an apparent leg injury, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilmer Difo came in to replace the 23-year-old, who was lifted from the game after he apparently pulled up while advancing to third on a single. More should be known about Turner's status after the game.

Turner went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Friday's win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old shortstop has stumbled out of the gate, going 2-for-18 (.111) through four games and failing to cross the plate despite the fact that he's been hitting leadoff for a Nats team producing five runs a game so far. Turner has stolen two bases, though -- not bad for a guy who's only reached base twice -- so fantasy owners who bought into his preseason hype should be patient when it comes to getting a return on their investment.

Turner went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Both long balls came off Seth Lugo, and Turner is now slashing .279/.323/.459 on the spring in 61 at-bats with three homers and six steals in six attempts. The 23-year-old appears to be more than ready for Opening Day.

Turner went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

He also committed his second error of the spring, but for the most part Turner's looked sound defensively at shortstop. His .222/.301/.343 line through 35 at-bats isn't impressive, but the 23-year-old seems locked in as the Nats' leadoff hitter and will be looking to prove his explosive rookie campaign was no fluke.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and his first two stolen bases of the spring in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

He's just 2-for-11 to begin the spring, but both Turner's hits have gone for extra bases. The 23-year-old could have an adjustment period with his glove to begin the season as he settles in as the Nats' starting shortstop, but his bat and legs should remain very productive from the top of the order.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

He once again hit leadoff, and Nats manager Dusty Baker seems committed to keeping him in that spot despite the offseason acquisition of Adam Eaton, who hit sixth in this one. Turner could have a hard time repeating his 2016 numbers at the plate given last year's .391 BABIP, but he should still provide plenty of value hitting at the top of a potent Washington offense.

Turner will hit leadoff Saturday in the Nationals' Grapefruit League opener against the Mets, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nats manager Dusty Baker made it clear that he hasn't decided on an Opening Day batting order, but Turner will most likely hit first or second during the regular season. The 23-year-old, who is 35-for-43 (81.4 percent) on the basepaths in 100 games to begin his big league career, figures to get frequent green lights in 2017 no matter what slot in the order he occupies.
