Phillies Shortstop Trea Turner Faces Uncertain Future After Hamstring Injury
8 Sep
Summary
- Trea Turner injured his right hamstring on Sunday
- Turner leads NL in batting average, hits, and RBIs
- Phillies hold 7-game lead in NL East as of 2025-09-08

On 2025-09-08, the Philadelphia Phillies received concerning news about their star shortstop Trea Turner. During Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins, Turner sustained a right hamstring injury while running out a ground ball. He was forced to leave the game, and the team has now scheduled an MRI for him on Monday.
Turner, a three-time All-Star, has been a driving force behind the Phillies' success this season. As of 2025-09-08, he leads the National League in batting average (.305), hits (179), and RBIs (69). His solo home run in the sixth inning of Sunday's game was not enough to secure a win for the Phillies, who fell 5-4 to the Marlins.
The Phillies currently hold a 7-game lead over the New York Mets in the NL East division. However, the potential loss of Turner for an extended period could significantly impact their playoff push. Edmundo Sosa, who replaced Turner at shortstop on Sunday, is the likely candidate to fill in should Turner need to be placed on the 10-day injured list.
