Turner is batting fifth for the Phillies in Friday's game against the Nationals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first time all season that we've seen Turner hit lower than second. He is entering play Friday sitting on a season-low .648 OPS following a 4-for-29 stretch. How long this new Phillies lineup sticks -- it features Kyle Schwarber in the leadoff spot against right-hander Josiah Gray, who was part of the package going the other way in 2021 when Turner and Max Scherzer were shipped from the Nats to the Dodgers -- remains to be seen, but the move may not be great news for Turner's immediate fantasy value.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a steal in Thursday's loss against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Turner is now 8-for-8 on stolen base attempts this season. He's continued to struggle at the plate, however, going 5-for-38 (.132) over his last nine games. It's been a tough first year in Philly for the All-Star shortstop. Turner's now slashing just .236/.279/.369 with five homers, 28 runs scored and 15 RBI.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

He drove in what proved to be the game-winning run with a fifth-inning two-bagger and also stole his seventh base of the year in the third. Turner hasn't changed his habits on the basepaths in 2023 despite the new steal-friendly rules, but he has yet to be caught stealing this season and is on pace for his seventh career campaign with 20 or more thefts.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Turner smacked a two-run, two-out homer off Jose Ruiz to tie the game 5-5 in the bottom of the ninth before the Phillies would win it in extras. It's Turner's fifth home run of the season and his first since May 6. The clutch hit may be what Turner needed to get his season going -- he's still slashing just .250/.295/.392 with 25 runs scored, 13 RBI and six stolen bases through his first 217 plate appearances with the Phillies.

Turner will be on the bench Saturday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The start to Turner's first season in Philadelphia hasn't gone as he or the team would have hoped, but Saturday's off day (the first of the season for Turner) looks like nothing more than a routine one. After slashing .302/.355/.487 across his first eight seasons, he's hitting just .257/.302/.390 this year, and his five steals are a disappointing total given the explosion of stolen bases across the league. He's also developed an uncharacteristic strikeout problem, with 18 strikeouts in his last 12 games raising his season strikeout rate to 26.6 percent. The Phillies will hope the day off allows him to reset and get back to his old self.

Turner went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Turner's 11-game hitting streak came to an end, but he still managed to be productive. The steal was his first since April 19 versus the White Sox, which was also the last time he scored multiple runs in the same game. The shortstop is slashing .256/.307/.402 with four home runs, 10 RBI, five steals and 24 runs scored through 39 contests.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Turner accounted for the final run of the contest with a solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. He extended his hitting streak to seven games, though this was the first time during the streak that he's collected multiple hits. Turner may not be entirely living up to the 11-year, $300 million contract he signed in the offseason just yet, but he's been fine with a .262/.301/.414 slash line, four homers, nine RBI, 20 runs and four stolen bases though 153 plate appearances.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 13-1 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies mustered only two hits Tuesday, with Turner's blast off Julio Urias accounting for the visitors' lone run. After hitting .298 with an .809 OPS with the Dodgers last year, Turner's Phillies career is off to a slower start. He's slashed .262/.304/.392 with three homers, eight RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases over 138 plate appearances, but he's also striking out at a 24.6 percent rate. He's shown signs of turning things around by hitting safely in each of the last four games.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Turner opened the scoring with a leadoff homer in the first, marking his second long ball of the season. Through 23 games, he has eight extra-base hits, seven RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double, a steal and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Turner led off the game with a solo home run, his first of the season. He added a single in the third and proceed to steal second before coming around to score on a Nick Castellanos RBI single. In the fourth, the shortstop extended Philadelphia's lead to 5-2 with an RBI double. Through 19 games, Turner has six extra-base hits, six RBI and four steals.
