Phillies expect Trea Turner back Monday after six weeks out

BALTIMORE -- The Philadelphia Phillies expect to have star shortstop Trea Turner back Monday, according to manager Rob Thomson.

Thomson said Sunday that Turner would be activated the following day "unless something weird happens." He hasn't played since May 3 because of a left hamstring strain.

Turner hit .343 with 10 stolen bases in 33 games before going on the injured list.

The Phillies have kept right on rolling without him. They led the NL East by eight games entering Sunday's series finale at Baltimore.

Philadelphia hosts San Diego on Monday in its first home game since June 5 -- immediately before the team traveled to London for a couple of games against the New York Mets.
