He is currently batting .219 with 63 hits, seven home runs, 21 RBIs, 41 runs and 14 stolen bases in 70 games.

Looking At Turner’s Career
Turner was picked in the 1st round of the 2014 MLB Draft.
He spent the first 6.5 seasons of his career with the Washington Nationals.
They won the 2019 World Series title.
Following Washington, Turner had a brief stop with the Los Angeles Dodgers (1.5 seasons).
He made the 2022 MLB All-Star Game with Los Angeles.
At one point, Turner was among the most valuable shortstops in baseball.
The Phillies will need Turner to return to form if they want to make a run at a World Series title over the next few seasons.
They have one of the best rosters in the National League.
Phillies Right Now
The Phillies are currently the second-place team in the National League East with a 38-33 record in 71 games.
On Monday, they will open up a series with the Miami Marlins (at home).
