"Phillies shortstop Trea Turner made an early departure during the seventh inning of today's game with the Marlins due to what the Phils announced as a right hamstring strain. A throwing error from Miami shortstop allowed Turner to reach base, but Turner immediately left the field and headed into the Phils' dugout, and was replaced by pinch-runner Edmundo Sosa."
"Manager Rob Thomson will provide more of an update in his postgame meeting with reporters, but it surely looks like Turner is heading for the injured list. The only question now is the severity of the strain, and whether or not Turner's availability for the playoffs is now in question. Philadelphia entered today's action with a healthy seven-game lead in the NL East, and with the second-best record of the division leaders, the Phillies would receive a first-round bye if the postseason began today."
