Trea Turner returned to the Washington Nationals’ lineup last night after missing a total of 38 games while he recovered from a broken right index finger he injured in just the fourth game of the 2019 campaign.
While they were still missing the likes of Ryan Zimmerman and Matt Adams, the Nationals got a step closer to full strength with Turner’s return.
Then, three innings into the series opener with the Chicago Cubs last night, 21-year-old outfielder Victor Robles took an 89 MPH cutter from Cole Hamels off his left wrist.
