Turner is back in the leadoff spot Tuesday versus the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Bryson Stott took a turn at leadoff Monday, with Turner hitting second, but the Phillies will return to their typical top-of-the-order setup Tuesday against the Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Stott is batting eighth.

Turner went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

After singling to left field in the seventh inning, Turner swiped his first bag of the year in close fashion -- the throw from Kyle Higashioka beat him, but his slide jostled the ball out of Anthony Volpe's glove. Turner has had a blistering start to the season at the plate, batting .391 (9-for-23) through five games with a double and two triples, and after stealing 27 bases on 30 attempts in 2022, MLB's rule changes to boost the running game could allow the 29-year-old shortstop to challenge his career high of 46 steals, set back in 2017 with the Nationals.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Though he didn't hit any home runs or steal any bases in the Phillies' season-opening series versus the Rangers, Turner still looks to be dialed in at the dish on the heels of his standout performance during the World Baseball Classic earlier this spring. He recorded five hits over the three games in Texas, including a pair of triples.

Turner hit a solo homer in Tuesday's loss to Japan in the World Baseball classic final.

EDGE Analysis

Turner gave USA a 1-0 lead with a blast over the left-field wall. The shortstop homered five times in the tournament, and was arguably the best player in the loaded USA lineup. It just wasn't enough for the United States to take home the title. Turner now returns to camp for the Phillies to get ready for his first season as a member of the Philadelphia roster.

Turner hit a grand slam to help Team USA to an 9-7 win Saturday over Team Venezuela in the quarterfinals of the World Baseball Classic.

EDGE Analysis

With Team USA trailing 7-5, Turner crushed a Silvino Bracho offering over the left-field fence to give USA the lead and ultimately the victory. The star shortstop has his second home run of the tournament, and he's slashing .286/.375/.714 in the WBC thus far. Turner and Team USA will face Cuba on Sunday in the semifinals.

Turner is likely to open the season as the Phillies' leadoff hitter, manager Rob Thomson said Thursday, per John Foley of 2008Philz.com.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson indicated that things could change when Bryce Harper (elbow) returns around midseason, but initially Turner appears pegged for the top of the batting order. His RBI total could take a hit in the role after he drove in 100 runs for the first time in 2022 while batting primarily second and third for the Dodgers. However, Turner will score a ton of runs from the leadoff spot and might also be more aggressive as a base stealer after going 27-for-30 on stolen-base attempts last season.

Turner agreed Monday with the Phillies on an 11-year, $300 million contract, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. The deal includes a full no-trade clause.

EDGE Analysis

Turner, who began his big-league career with the Nationals in 2015 before spending the past season and a half with the Dodgers, will return to the National League East after slashing .298/.343/.466 with 21 home runs, 100 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 2022. Heading into his age-30 season, Turner should maintain enough to range to spend at least a few more years as an everyday shortstop. He'll likely hit either first or second in Philadelphia's lineup, providing a significant boost near the top of the order for last season's World Series runners-up.

Turner (finger) will bat second and play shortstop Saturday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Turner jammed his right ring finger sliding back into first base on a pickoff attempt in Game 3, though he was able to remain in the game. His X-rays were negative, and while it's possible the injury affects him in some fashion, the fact the he's cleared not just to hit but also to throw is seemingly a good sign.

Turner suffered nothing worse than a jammed finger in Friday's NLDS Game 3 loss to the Padres, as his X-rays were negative, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner appeared visibly hurt after diving back into first base on an eighth-inning pickoff attempt, but he was able to get his fingers wrapped during a delay while the play was being removed and did not have to leave the game. It's possible the jammed right ring finger will affect his performance going forward, but he remains in line to start Saturday's Game 4 as long as he's able to grip a bat.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday in a 6-1 victory versus Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Turner reached the 100 RBI mark for the first time in his career with a three-run homer in the fifth inning. The speedy shortstop was one of nine major-leaguers to go 20/20 this season, finishing with 21 long balls and 27 thefts. He slashed .298/.343/.466 and ranked second in the league in hits (194) behind teammate Freddie Freeman.
