Turner hit by pitch, exits game with right calf contusion

June 18th, 2026

PHILADELPHIA -- It's been a painful week for .

The Phillies shortstop exited Thursday night's series opener against the Mets in the third inning after being hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom of the first. The club said Turner exited with a right calf contusion, though no further update was immediately available.

That came just three days after Turner left Monday night's game against the Marlins after being hit by a pitch on the right wrist. He sat out Tuesday's game, but returned on Wednesday to go 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base.

Hoping to build off his three-hit effort, the struggling Turner instead once again had his night cut short after Sean Manaea plunked him with a 79 mph sweeper on his third pitch of the game.

Turner initially stayed in to run the bases, and ultimately came around to score on Alec Bohm's RBI single. While Turner then took the field in the top of the second inning, he did not return in the third.

Turner was replaced at shortstop by Edmundo Sosa, who started the game in left field. That set off a series of changes, with Justin Crawford entering the game in center, Derek Hill shifting from center to right and Brandon Marsh moving from right to left.
