SEPTEMBER 22 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Eyeing Friday return Turner (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday ahead of the final series of the regular season against the Twins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact Turner is progressing well from a right hamstring strain and will face live pitching Tuesday and Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park. If that goes well, he appears likely to rejoin the Phillies' active roster Friday. The 32-year-old has been sidelined for the past two weeks of action.

Set to face live pitching this week Turner (hamstring) is scheduled to face live pitching Tuesday and Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park, Bob Cooney of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Manager Rob Thomson adds that Turner is recovering well from his Grade 1 right hamstring strain, and that the star shortstop will be reinstated from the injured list once he's able to run close to 100 percent. A return before the end of the regular season for Turner remains in play, though his earliest possible activation date appears to be Thursday based on the next steps in his rehab.

Goes through full workout Monday Turner (hamstring) went through a full workout in Philadelphia on Monday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Turner is not with the team in Los Angeles on Monday for the start of their road trip, and the Phillies hope the star shortstop will return to action before the regular-season finale on Sept. 28 against Minnesota. Philadelphia won't travel back home until the Sept. 23 contest versus the Marlins, so Turner, who's nursing a Grade 1 right hamstring strain, appears unlikely to make his way back into the lineup for at least another week.

Phillies' Trea Turner nears return, ready to swing bat after hamstring injury | Sporting News Trea Turner is nearing a return from the 10-day IL
SEPTEMBER 13 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
May swing bat soon Turner (hamstring) did some pole running and played catch Saturday, and he may swing a bat Sunday or Monday, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Turner appears to be making progress from the hamstring strain that caused him to go on the 10-day IL on Sept. 8. It doesn't seem likely that the veteran shortstop will be ready to return when first eligible, but the hope remains that he'll be able to get some games in before the postseason. Edmundo Sosa had been filling in at shortstop most days for Philadelphia, but he's currently dealing with a groin issue, so Bryson Stott is starting at the position Saturday.
