Phillies' Trea Turner: Slugs game-winning homer
Rotowire
Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in a 4-3 victory versus Atlanta on Wednesday.
Turner broke a 3-3 tie with his solo blast to left-center field in the ninth inning, and that run held up as the decisive margin of victory for the Phillies. It was a much-needed big hit for the veteran shortstop, as he entered play Wednesday with just one extra-base knock and one RBI through 33 plate appearances. Turner is off to a somewhat slow start to the campaign, but he has been impactful on the bases with four steals, and he holds a solid .395 OBP so far.

Turner went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win against the Rockies.
Turner didn't start in any of the Phillies' previous three games while dealing with back spasms, though he was able to pinch run Monday.

Turner has reached base safely in five of his first 11 plate appearance to begin the campaign.

Phillies' Trea Turner: Scores go-ahead run as pinch hitter
Rotowire
Turner (back) drew a walk and scored a run as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.
Turner hit for the left-handed-hitting Brandon Marsh against Rockies southpaw Scott Alexander, and he then crossed the plate for a go-ahead run on an Edmundo Sosa double in the seventh inning. Although Turner's appearance Monday doesn't necessarily guarantee he'll be back in the lineup for Wednesday's meeting with Colorado, the fact he was healthy enough to enter the contest suggests the star shortstop is nearly fully recovered from back spasms that scratched him from the lineup Saturday against Washington. Prior to Monday's matchup, Turner reported improvement and expressed optimism about returning Wednesday.

Phillies' Trea Turner: Could bat leadoff in 2025
Rotowire
Manager Rob Thomson said last week that he's considering moving Kyle Schwarber down to third or fourth in the Phillies' everyday lineup this season, potentially clearing the way for Turner to serve as the club's primary leadoff hitter, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
In 2024, Schwarber started 149 of the Phillies' 162 games out of the leadoff spot, with Bryson Stott (10 starts) and Whit Merrifield (three) setting the table in the other 13 contests. Merrifield wasn't re-signed in free agency, and Stott doesn't appear to be an ideal candidate to slot in atop the lineup when the Phillies are at full strength since it would create an imbalance atop the batting order with three lefties (Stott, Schwarber and Bryce Harper) in the first four spots. With Thomson having acknowledged after the past season, during Winter Meetings and last week that he feels Schwarber's power production would be better served in the No. 3 or 4 spot behind Harper, Turner represents the most logical candidate to fill the void atop the lineup. Turner batted exclusively out of the two-hole in 2024, but he made 15 starts out of the leadoff spot during the 2023 campaign and saw plenty of usage atop the order during his stints with the Nationals and Dodgers earlier in his career. A move to the leadoff spot could open up increased running opportunities for Turner, whose 19 steals in 2024 were his fewest in a season since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.
