Turner (elbow) will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Rob Thomson stated after the second half of Saturday's twin bill that Turner is fine, but he'll miss Sunday's matchup. He'll presumably be good to go for the Wild Card Series, though confirmation on his availability likely won't come until early next week.

Turner was removed from Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets due to a left elbow contusion, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was drilled by a pitch in the top of the seventh inning, though he was initially able to remain in the contest to run the bases. The early diagnosis brings good news, but the Phillies will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the star shortstop with the playoffs starting early next week. He'll be considered day-to-day and could be held out of the regular-season finale to help get him as healthy as possible for the postseason.

Turner will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies will be the fourth seed in the National League regardless of what happens over the weekend, so it's unlikely that they ask many of their star players to play twice in one day. Turner owns a 1.002 OPS with 16 homers since the start of August, entering the playoffs on a high note despite a rough start to his time in Philadelphia. Edmundo Sosa will take over at shortstop in his absence.

Turner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies punched their ticket to the playoffs with Tuesday's win over the Pirates, so Turner will receive Wednesday off after making 18 straight starts. The 30-year-old delivered an ugly first half but has a .308/.361/.621 slash line since the start of August to improve his season-long OPS to .770

Turner went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old continued his torrid play Tuesday, swiping his 27th base and launching his 26th homer -- a game-tying solo shot in the ninth inning off Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias. Turner has been a hit machine lately, recording multi-hit efforts in 12 of his last 15 games, including four straight. In 34 games since Aug. 4, the five-tool shortstop has posted a slash line of .388/.430/.820 with an incredible 16 home runs, 10 doubles, one triple, 41 RBI, 34 runs and six steals across 151 plate appearances. Turner's batting average has risen from a paltry .236 to a respectable .272 during that same time frame.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, walk, two runs scored and one steal in Friday's 3-2 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Turner had missed the past two games on paternity leave, but celebrated with a solo homer in his first at-bat to kick off the scoring. He later added a walk, a single, a stolen base and scored both Phillies' runs to complete an all-around effort in their loss. Turner is now slashing .265/.316/.458 with a career-high 23 homers, 68 RBI, 88 runs, 30 doubles, five triples and 26 steals in his inaugural season with the Phillies.

Turner was activated from the paternity leave list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner will be re-inserted into the lineup ahead of their weekend series at home against the Marlins. The star shortstop comes into action Friday on quite a heater, having homered seven times over his last seven games.

Turner was placed on the paternity list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Turner will likely miss the final two games of the Phillies' three-game set in San Diego as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. He went 2-for-6 with a homer and two RBI in Monday's series opener.

Turner went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and an additional run in Monday's 9-7 victory versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Turner put the Phillies ahead 6-1 with his two-run shot in the second inning. He had already singled at that point, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. Turner has nine multi-hit efforts during the streak and is slashing .358/.380/.881 with 10 homers, 23 RBI, 19 runs and three stolen bases over the impressive stretch.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop extended his hitting streak to 13 games with yet another impressive effort, and over that stretch Turner is slashing .357/.383/.929 with nine of his 21 homers and three of his 25 steals on the season. The 30-year-old has now posted his third straight 20-25 season, and he has yet to be caught stealing in 2023 -- in fact, he's nabbed 30 straight bags dating back to last September. Turner's career 85.9 percent success rate on the basepaths is the second-highest of all time among players with more than 200 attempts, behind only Carlos Beltran's 86.4 percent mark.
