Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 1-for-4 with a run scored, a stolen base, and two strikeouts in a 4-2 loss to the New York Mets on Thursday. Turner and the Phillies didn't have much going on offense in this one as they mustered just six hits as a club. The 29-year-old did manage to steal his eighth base of the season and score a run, though. The lone hit snaps an 0-for-11 for Turner and gets his June off to a decent start after a lackluster May in which he hit just .208 with a .625 OPS. Overall, he's slashing just .236/.279/.369 to go along with five home runs, 15 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 233 at-bats.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is getting the day off on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. Turner has yet to sit out of a game this season so this is a much-needed breather for the 29-year-old dynamo. Edmundo Sosa is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs. Turner has been a pretty big letdown here in the early going, slashing just .257/.302/.390 with five home runs, 10 RBI, and five stolen bases across 187 at-bats. He could get hot at any time so fantasy managers will obviously stick with him but it's safe to say he hasn't lived up to expectations thus far.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner had a successful day at the plate after going 2-for-5 in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants. He ripped a single in the first inning and picked up a knock to right fielder Michael Conforto in the eighth inning. Turner did strike out twice but had an encouraging day at the plate overall. He hasn't been hitting to the tune of a $300 million contract, and the Phillies were expecting Turner's bat to make a drastic improvement in the lineup. He is slashing .262/.308/.707 on the season along with just 10 RBI. His swinging choices have not been his usual hacks, which could be the root of his struggles. Turner posts a 26.3% strikeout rate, which is a notable leap from last season's 18.5% mark. The Phillies hope that Turner can right his ship at the plate as the season carries on.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in the seventh inning of Saturday's loss to Boston. Turner, the first overall pick in many fantasy leagues earlier this spring, got off to a fine start in registering a .321 batting average through April 19, which was also the last time that the speedy 29-year-old stole a base. Following Saturday's two-hit effort, Turner has a decent seven-game hitting streak active, but still only a mediocre .262 average on the campaign by the former batting champion's lofty standards. Fantasy managers surely like to see the power out of the reigning Silver Slugger, but they expected more in the speed department, as Turner has just four swipes spanning across 145 at-bats in 2023.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday night's loss to the Texas Rangers, and he's hitting .385 (5-for-13) with a double, two triples, an RBI, two runs scored, one walk and two strikeouts in his first three games of the season in his first year with the team. His fantasy managers are still waiting on his first home run and stolen best, but rest assured, they will come shortly. The 29-year-old star shortstop also swung the bat well for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and is one of the most valuable players in fantasy. Leave him in your starting lineups and hope that he can continue to stay hot with the lumber for Philly.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner played his part offensively for Team USA in Monday's 12-1 World Baseball Classic win over Team Canada. Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI. The 29-year-old signed an 11-year, $300 million deal this off-season after slashing .298/.343/.466 with 21 HR, 100 RBI, and 27 stolen bases with the Dodgers. Turner's combination of average, power, and speed make him one of fantasy's top overall picks, and he should continue to find success in a strong Phillies' lineup.

The San Diego Padres had a high level of disappointment when shortstop Trea Turner chose to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday for 11 years and $300 million, according to multiple sources. The precise terms of the Padres' offer to Turner weren't known, but two people not directly involved but familiar with the dealings said the Padres offered Turner more than the Phillies. San Diego drafted Turner 13th overall in 2014, only later to trade him to the Washington Nationals in a three-team deal that brought Wil Myers to the Friars. Turner and his wife were said all along to prefer the East Coast since they're both from Florida. A team source said Monday that the Padres are no longer in the market for a shortstop and were always really only in it for Turner, who since the start of 2016 has led baseball in steals (228) and ranked ninth in batting average (.303).

According to a tweet from ESPN's Jeff Passan on Monday morning, the Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly "in agreement on a contract" with free-agent shortstop Trea Turner. Kiley McDaniel reported that the deal is for 11 years and $300 million and includes a full no-trade clause. The 29-year-old hit .298 last season in 708 plate appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers while also logging a .343 on-base percentage, 21 home runs and 27 stolen bases. One of fantasy baseball's elite options, both in general and at the shortstop position, Turner also turned in 100 or more runs and RBI with 101 runs scored and 100 RBI this past season.

The San Diego Padres have met with free-agent shortstop Trea Turner twice in person before next week's Winter Meetings in San Diego, according to major-league sources. It's unclear exactly when the Padres met with Turner, but the fact that there have been multiple meetings suggests some level of mutual interest. The Padres have also expressed interest in another top free-agent shortstop in Xander Bogaerts. Turner is a candidate for possibly $300 million, and he appears to be San Diego's preference. The Padres already have two shortstops in Fernando Tatis Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim and two $300 million players, but they cannot be ruled out as a factor for Turner. The Friars traded Turner to the Nationals in 2015 and have indicated notable interest in a potential reunion in recent years.

The San Diego Padres have plenty of offseason needs -- first base, a starting pitcher, bullpen, bench -- but major-league sources continue to suggest that they are indeed in the shortstop market, possibly even for Trea Turner. General manager A.J. Preller traded Turner to the Washington Nationals as a player to be named in 2015 and has coveted Turner ever since. To make it work, Ha-Seong Kim could move to second, Jake Cronenworth could go to first and Fernando Tatis Jr. could go to left field. But the Padres are already very close to the first luxury-tax threshold and may not be able to outbid the Philadelphia Phillies. Turner is one of the top fantasy commodities in all of baseball, regardless of where he lands in free agency.

Free agent shortstop Trea Turner is "likely" the Philadelphia Phillies' top target among all available players at the position, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. Turner would provide defensive stability to a generally weak overall defense while adding to an already-strong lineup. This move would also allow for a reunion between Turner and Bryce Harper, who were former teammates with the Washington Nationals. The 29-year-old will remain a top fantasy option regardless of where he signs, as he slashed .298/.343/.466 with 21 home runs, 100 RBI, 101 runs scores, and 27 stolen bases with the Dodgers in 2022.

X-rays came back negative on Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner's finger on Friday night, and he said he just jammed his finger while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt late in the Game 3 loss to the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series. In the first three games of the series, Turner has gone 4-for-13 with two home runs, a double, two RBI, three runs scored and four strikeouts at the plate. But he's mostly been noticed for his mishaps on defense, recording two errors already at shortstop with the Dodgers facing elimination in Game 4 on Saturday. Hopefully, his jammed finger won't negatively impact his ability to swing the lumber for the rest of the series.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (back) is back at shortstop and is hitting second in the batting order for Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Turner was hit in the back on a throw in Game 1 as a precaution, but it obviously wasn't a serious issue at all since he's back in there for the nightcap. The 29-year-old had a hit in three at-bats before leaving Game 1 to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. The fact that he's back in the Game 2 lineup is great news for fantasy managers that had him locked into their lineups after Game 1. Turner continues to be one of the best all-around players in baseball, both in real life and in fantasy.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (back) left the first game of a doubleheader early against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday after he was hit in the back by a throw in the fifth inning. With the Dodgers having already clinched the National League West, it's highly unlikely that Turner will play in the nightcap against Arizona. Before departing, he had gone 1-for-3 at the plate. The 29-year-old was replaced at the 6 by Hanser Alberto. The 29-year-old is one of the most valuable players in fantasy and real life, so the Dodgers will be hoping it's just a minor injury. Turner came into the day slashing .304/.347/.482 with an .830 OPS, 20 home runs, 97 RBI, 93 runs scored and 25 stolen bases in a league-high 593 at-bats.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres, marking the first time this season that Turner won't start for the Dodgers. It is a bit surprising that they'd sit the star shortstop against a division rival, but the Dodgers have had the top seed locked up for a while now, and might just be giving their regulars some time off. Turner has been tremendous at the dish again this season, slashing.306/.351/.478 with 82 runs, 86 RBI, 18 homers, and 22 steals. He is the best five-category contributor in fantasy baseball. Expect Turner to return to the lineup Saturday, barring any injury news.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner recorded a walk on Wednesday. It was his first since August 1, bringing his 13-game streak without a free pass to an end. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the contest. Turner has reached base in 11 of his last 12 games and is now 15-for-51 (.294) during that span. Even as his offensive numbers take a small dip, he continues to boast massive talent and upside, making him one of the most appealing players to roster in fantasy baseball.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-4 with a double in the team's 4-1 loss to the Washington Nationals on Monday. The 29-year-old is currently in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak that dates back to July 9. Over the 13 games, he's racked up four home runs and 13 runs. Turner owns a .306/.352/.496 slash line on the season to go along with 15 home runs, 17 stolen bases, 69 RBI and 56 runs. He's currently maintaining a career-low 42.9% ground ball rate to go along with a career-low 1.23 GB/FB rate.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner filled the stat sheet Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored against the St. Louis Cardinals, but it wasn't enough to avoid a 7-6 loss. Turner has been consistently outstanding all season, and he now has 12 home runs to go with an .835 OPS, 17 steals, 49 runs scored and 63 RBI in 372 plate appearances. He's very much delivering a solid return on his first-round ADP.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and three strikeouts in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The stolen base was his 14th of the year and his lone hit of the day, a single, extended his hit streak to 12 games. Over the course of his current hit streak, he's tallied four home runs, four stolen bases, seven RBI and eight runs. The 28-year-old is in the midst of yet another standout season. Across 65 games, he's slashing .301/.352/.480 with nine home runs, 49 RBI and 33 runs.
