NEW YORK -- As Nationals manager Dusty Baker has tinkered with his lineup since the start of Spring Training, he has kept one constant: Trea Turner as his leadoff hitter.
That remains true, even though Turner batted second Saturday against the Mets in his first start since a right hamstring strain landed him on the 10-day disabled list. Turner was activated from the DL Friday, but Baker still wants to monitor Turner's legs. So he slotted Turner into the No. 2 spot in the lineup and hit Adam Eaton leadoff, a change that Baker said was temporary.
