Trea Turner, who missed two games in Washington with back spasms, will be back in the starting lineup tonight against the Colorado Rockies. Turner did not start Monday in the home opener, but later pinch hit and drew a walk.
Upon making an unexpected return, Trea Turner played a huge role in the Philadelphia Phillies winning their third game of the season.
Turner (back) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies. Turner will make his first start since Opening Day, as he's been battling lower-back spasms. He appeared as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-1 win and is back in the lineup for the second game of the series Wednesday.
Realmuto (bruised left foot) likely will return for the home opener on Monday. Turner (back spasms) could miss one more game.
