Turner is confident that his hamstring has mostly healed. Before the finale of the London Series, the star shortstop fielded grounders and took batting practice.
Injured Phillies shortstop Trea Turner prepares for fielding workouts before the London Series game against the New York Mets in London on Saturday, June 8, 2024.The Phillies are idle Monday, but well, you get the gist. Five weeks after straining his left hamstring, Turner is nearing a return. Before the finale of the London Series, the star shortstop fielded grounders and took batting practice.
Two weeks later, Turner guessed that he’s running at the same intensity as before the setback, “but a little better” because he hasn’t experienced soreness or tightness. “I don’t really care how fast I am, per se,” he said. “It’s more: Can I go run over there and not think about anything? That’s why we’re taking it a little slow. I could play in games at maybe a decreased intensity right now, but I want to make sure that I’m over that hurdle.”Besides, the Phillies are 23-8 since Turner went on the injured list. And as one of the fastest players in baseball, he relies on his legs.
