Turner, who was summoned for jury duty Wednesday morning and missed a team workout, returned to camp that afternoon, Ben Cosman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was informed his services weren't required, and ended up only missing a few hours of camp. Turner's services are very much required by the Nats as he looks to build on last season's impressive rookie campaign, so the club can consider themselves fortunate he didn't get dragged into a case that lasted for weeks.

Turner skipped Wednesday's team workout because he was summoned for jury duty, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner understands that even MLB superstars must fulfill their civic obligations. He shouldn't miss more than a few days as he returns to D.C. Turner, the Nationals' starting shortstop, is coming off a breakout year in which he finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting.

Turner will be the Nationals' starting shortstop in 2017 following the acquisition of Adam Eaton and the trade of Danny Espinosa to the Angels, The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Turner is a defensive downgrade at shortstop from the slick Espinosa, the Nats got a major upgrade in offense with the moves. Given that Turner hit .342 with a .937 OPS last season despite mostly playing out of position in center field, it's possible the move back to shortstop might even help him at the plate, in addition to adding to his 2B and OF eligibility in most fantasy formats.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo shot, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The fifth inning blast, his 13th home run in just 72 big league games this season, proved to be the difference in the game. Despite the late callup, Turner has put himself firmly in the conversation for NL Rookie of the Year with a .342/.367/.569 slash line, 53 runs scored and 32 steals.

Turner is out of Sunday's lineup against the Pirates, Dan Kolko of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After clinching the NL East on Saturday, Turner will have Sunday off. He has an impressive .336 batting average for the season, but has gone just 7-for-31 (.226) over the last seven games. With Turner out, Ben Revere will start in center field and hit leadoff.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a home run in the Nationals' 8-3 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner had been hitless in the first two games of the series against the Marlins, a slump by his standards this year. Turner has done it all for the Nationals since being called up from Triple-A, hitting .342 with 12 home runs and 27 steals in 62 games for the Nationals.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo homers, walk and stolen base in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
The dynamic leadoff man continues to terrorize pitching around the majors and was the only member of the Nationals line to have an impact Saturday. He led off the game with a 374-foot solo shot to left and followed up with a 389-foot encore in the fifth to get Washington to within 3-2. Turner has five multi-hit outings in his last six games and 10 overall in what has been an outstanding September so far. He also has three homers in his last pair of contests and is now slashing .356/.377/.585 in 253 at-bats.

Turner went 4-for-5 with two RBI, a home run, two stolen bases and four runs scored.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has been the catalyst for a Nats offense that has come alive over the second half after a lackluster first. A player who can hit for power, run, steal bases and play defense will always will always find a good home in fantasy lineups.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and a game-winning solo shot in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The dynamic leadoff man was the hero, blasting a ninth-inning solo shot off reliever Frank Herrmann to send the Nationals home winners. Turner had also extended the Washington lead to 4-1 in the seventh with a 409-foot two-run shot that plated Danny Espinosa. After an August where he slashed .357/.366/.571, Turner has now started September with multi-hit outings in five of his first eight games of the new month, including three homers and eight RBI over that span.
