The Philadelphia Phillies just completed a three-game sweep over the Minnesota Twins. Now, they are set to kick off their next series against the Miami Marlins on Monday.
The Phillies will be sporting a different-looking lineup against the Marlins than they did during their last game against the Twins. Most notably, they are getting one of their top stars back in Trea Turner.

Taking a Look at Trea Turner’s Season So Far With the Phillies
The Phillies getting Turner back is good news for them, as he is one of their top players when playing at his best. In 120 games this campaign with Philadelphia, he has recorded 17 home runs, 47 RBI, and a .247 batting average. This is after he posted 15 home runs, 69 RBI, and a .304 batting average in 141 games last season.
It will now be interesting to see how Turner performs after returning to the Phillies’ lineup from here. With the Phillies currently fighting to maintain their wild card spot, it is clear that they need players like Turner to be on their A-game.
