MILWAUKEE -- Nationals manager Dave Martinez benched shortstop Trea Turner for Tuesday night's game at Miller Park after Turner didn't run to first base on a two-out bunt attempt that bounced fair in the fourth inning on Monday.
Martinez announced after Monday night's loss that he would likely discipline Turner for the lack of effort when he dropped his bat, threw his helmet down and began retreating to the dugout with the ball still in play. The two had not spoken about the incident prior to Tuesday's game.
"I haven't talked to him yet, but a conversation will be had," Martinez said.
