Turner put together his consecutive 3-for-5 effort in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Braves, with a triple, solo homer and three runs overall.

EDGE Analysis

The dynamic leadoff man was at it again, legging out his fifth three-bagger of the season and blasting his third homer in the third inning off starter Rob Whalen. The 23-year-old now has five multi-hit efforts and all three of his homers in August, and continues to provide outstanding multi-category fantasy production during a month in which he's slashed .313/.327/.625 over 48 at-bats.

Turner went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a pair of stolen bases and a run in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

The dynamic leadoff man was a bright spot in the loss, getting on base often and swiping two bags in the process. Turner also drove in Ben Revere with a third-inning single that opened the Nationals' scoring on the night. The 23-year-old now has four multi-hit efforts in August, along with his first two homers of the season and six RBI.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a double, solo homer and two runs overall in Friday's 5-1 victory over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The dynamic leadoff man is now adding the long ball to his already-impressive repertoire, as he's homered in back-to-back contests. The 23-year-old has also hit safely in each of the first four games of August, and has multi-hit efforts in three of those contests. Turner also has five RBI over that span and has already racked up 10 extra-base hits as part of an impressive .321/.353/.543 line over 81 at-bats.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old remains red-hot, with Saturday's effort marking his fourth multi-hit outing in the last five starts. The speedy Turner also has four stolen bases over that span, and continues to be a multi-category threat in all fantasy formats thanks to his blazing speed.

Turner is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, MASN's Dan Kolko reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a little surprising, as Turner has provided a spark atop the Nationals' order recently with eight hits and three steals in his last four games, but it seems manager Dusty Baker is intent on keeping Ben Revere involved. Turner still seems like the favorite for playing time in center field moving forward.

Turner once again hit leadoff and played center field during Thursday's win over the Giants, going 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base.

EDGE Analysis

He's now started three straight games in center and over Turner's last four games he's reached base 10 times (eight hits and two walks) while stealing three bases, scoring four runs and pushing his slash line on the season up to .333/.382/.510, albeit in just 51 at-bats. As long as the converted shortstop doesn't make any glaring defensive miscues in the outfield, Nats manager Dusty Baker will likely keep writing the rookie's name on his lineup card.

Turner went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's game against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Washington's been searching for production from the leadoff spot, and perhaps the club has found it with Turner. Hitting atop the lineup over the last three games, the 23-year-old sophomore is 6-for-13 with two doubles, one triple, three RBI, three runs and two stolen bases. Turner played the outfield for the second straight day in this one, but manager Dusty Baker wouldn't commit to playing Turner out there once the team returns to NL parks and loses the DH. If Turner does in fact earn an everyday spot, he's worth a pickup in most formats, especially if Baker inserts him in the leadoff spot.

Turner got the start in center field Tuesday and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and his fifth stolen base of the season.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals, who have lost six of their last eight games, are looking for someone to spark their offense and the speedy Turner might just fit the bill. All five of his steals have come in his last seven games, although he's hitting just .250 (8-for-32) during that stretch. With Ryan Zimmerman off the DL and Daniel Murphy shifted back to second base, Turner's best route to playing time will likely continue to be in center at the expense of the struggling Ben Revere.

Turner will make his first career start in center field on Tuesday, Dan Kolko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported on Monday that Turner could be making a transition to center field with the return of Ryan Zimmerman from the disabled list. Turner will lead off for the Nationals on Tuesday and will be accompanied in the outfield by Ben Revere in left and Bryce Harper in right. Jayson Werth will serve as the designated hitter as Washington is on the road facing Cleveland in interleague play. It will be interesting to see what Dusty Baker does with the lineup when he doesn't have the luxury of a DH this weekend.

Turner could transition to center field when Ryan Zimmerman (ribs) returns Tuesday, CSN Mid-Atlantic's Chase Hughes reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals have been open about the fact that Turner's days of being a regular in the infield will come to an end once Zimmerman returns, but he has worked a little in center field in the minors, and it is currently an area of need for the Nationals. Turner is hitting .282 with four steals and five runs in 10 MLB games this season and should already be owned in all formats. If he transitions to the outfield that would be a boon for his owners, otherwise he'll serve as backup infielder and pinch runner.
