Trea Turner not in lineup.
The Philadelphia Phillies will be without starting shortstop Trea Turner against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.
In the series opener on Monday, Turner left the game after being hit by a pitch. After the game, Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said they were hopeful it would be a minor thing and nothing serious.
However, as the Phillies announced their lineup for Tuesday’s game, Turner was noticeably not in it. Philadelphia’s lineup is as follows;
- B. Marsh LF
- K. Schwarber 1B
- B. Harper DH
- A. Bohm 3B
- B. Stott 2B
- J. Realmuto C
- G. Rincones Jr.
- RF J. Crawford CF
- E. Sosa SS
Instead of Turner playing shortstop, Edmundo Sosa is starting and batting ninth.
Turner, meanwhile, has struggled this season as he’s hitting .216 with 7 home runs and 21 RBIs.
