## Resource

Trea Turner’s back in the leadoff spot for the Phillies after a brief stint in the two-hole didn’t ignite his bat — he slashed just .203 in 18 games there and was hitting just .063 with six strikeouts in his last 16 at-bats. Manager’s decision to move him back to the top of the order, with Kyle Schwarber now batting second, is both a confidence boost for Turner and a strategic move to protect Schwarber, who’s been intentionally walked three times with runners on and two outs since the switch. While Turner’s overall stats are down from last year — .216 average, plummeting OPS — his speed and ability to set the table with runners ahead make him vital. The Phillies are winning now, but they know deep playoff runs hinge on Turner rediscovering his form. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
