  • Nico Hoerner homers, steals base in win Saturday
    Nico Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base in a 6-5 win over the Brewers.

    Advice: Hoerner put the Cubs on the board right away, taking Tobias Myers deep for a solo homer to lead off the first inning, his first homer of the season. He added a base hit to lead off the seventh, then stole second for his fifth steal of the season. The 26-year-old second baseman is heating up at the plate, with multiple hits in three of his last four games. Hoerner is slashing .286/.364/.397 with 20 runs scored and eight RBI across 143 plate appearances. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Turner expects to miss six-plus weeks with injury
    Trea Turner told reporters that he expects to miss at least six weeks with his hamstring injury.

    Advice: Turner told reporters that anything prior to a six-week return would “be a win.” It’s a significant blow for both fantasy managers and the Phillies — and Turner himself, of course — as the shortstop was once again playing at an elite level. Edmundo Sosa should see most of the reps at shortstop while Turner is out, but he’s a far cry from the player that Turner is. Rotoworld Today, 12:18 pm

  • Out at least six weeks
    Turner (hamstring) said Saturday that he expects to miss at least six weeks with his left hamstring strain and that a return sooner than that "would be a win," Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Turner strained his left hamstring Friday against the Cubs, and he was placed on the 10-day IL a day later. It's a big blow for the Phillies, as Turner has been one of their most productive players at the plate this season with an .852 OPS, second on the team behind Alec Bohm. Six weeks would take Turner to a potential return for mid-June, though the star shortstop could be out until July depending on how he progresses in his rehab. Philadelphia will turn to Edmundo Sosa to be the primary shortstop with Turner on the shelf, and Bryson Stott could shift over from second base in platoon lineups against right-handed pitching.

  • Starting Saturday
    Sosa is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Sosa is set to takeover as the primary shortstop with Trea Turner landing on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain. Sosa has appeared in nine games this season and is 6-for-21 with two runs, one double, one home run and two RBI over that span. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am
     
  • Headed to IL
    The Phillies placed Turner on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner left before the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Cubs after straining his left hamstring running bases in the fourth frame. The 30-year-old shortstop was off to a hot start this season, slashing .343/.392/.460 with 10 doubles, 10 stolen bases, two home runs and nine RBI over 148 plate appearances. Edmundo Sosa is slated to take over as the primary shortstop while Turner recovers from his injury. The Phillies recalled infielder Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

  • Turner heads to 10-day IL with hamstring injury
    Phillies placed INF Trea Turner on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner was removed from Friday’s game against the Giants with soreness in his hamstring, and the Phillies will be without the 30-year-old shortstop for the next week-plus — likely longer. Kody Clemens is up as the corresponding transaction. Edmundo Sosa will likely see most of the reps at shortstop while Turner recovers. Rotoworld Today, 10:49 am

  • Back up to majors
    The Brewers recalled Monasterio from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Monasterio has appeared in four games with the Brewers this season, going 0-for-7 with two runs and two walks. He's slashing .243/.362/.297 with seven runs, two doubles, six steals and four RBI over 47 plates appearances in Triple-A this season. Monasterio's move up to the majors corresponds with the Brewers placing Joey Wiemer (knee) on the 10-day IL. Rotowire.com Today, 9:55 am

  • Snags fifth steal
    Winn went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Winn reached on an error in the fourth inning, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch, but he was left there. The rookie shortstop has cooled off with no multi-hit efforts over his last 14 games, going 7-for-40 (.175) with three steals and a 9:12 BB:K in that span. On the year, he's slashing .279/.354/.372 with no home runs, seven RBI, 10 runs scored and five steals, offering solid speed but little else while batting in the bottom third of the Cardinals' order.
