Before he was placed on the 10-Day Disabled List on Wednesday, (retroactive to 4/9), Trea Turner was off to a slow start at the plate, going 3 for 19 (.158/.158/.211) with a double and seven strikeouts in five games.
Turner injured his right hamstring stealing second base on Saturday in Philadelphia, but the Nationals waited until Monday before making the decision to put the 23-year-old infielder on the DL.
In an interview with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies on Wednesday, Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo talked about the decision to DL Turner.
