The incident took place when Turner accidentally legged out a grounder on a throwing error by Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez. Turner went straight to the dugout and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

During the post-game interview, he said that he didn’t want to risk further injury and tried “to limit the damage,” citing his May 2024 left hamstring issue, which led to a lengthy IL stint.

“(My hamstring was) just kind of grabbing on me. It didn’t feel good, felt like if I could’ve kept going I would’ve, but (I wanted to) get out of there and try to limit the damage.”

The timing couldn’t be any worse for the Philadelphia Phillies to lose one of their key players during the postseason race. The severity of the right hamstring strain is yet unknown, but Trea Turner is praying for an early return.

“It’s never a good time, really... but something like this late is not fun. And when these games really matter, you need to be out there. (That’s the) more frustrating part with that more than anything -- is coming down the stretch, playing in big games and not being able to be out there. So hopefully it's not too many (games that I miss).”

The Phillies lost Sunday’s game 5-4. As of now, Turner is batting .305 with 15 HRs and 69 RBIs in 140 games this season.
