Trea Turner lands on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, adding lineup uncertainty for the Phillies as the playoff clock ticks. Turner says it’s milder than last year and expects to rebound before October, easing some worries but leaving fantasy managers eyeing the fill-ins. Edmundo Sosa starts at short in Turner’s absence, while Philadelphia leans on a deep bullpen and a fortified rotation to press toward a first-round NL bye and a pivotal series with the Mets.

Turner’s illness is a reminder of how a small setback can tilt a pennant race. The Mets series looms large for seeding, and Aaron Nola’s efficient work and the bullpen’s steadiness will be tested as Turner recovers. The timeline for Turner’s return remains the key fantasy variable, with bets hinging on a healthy post-season burst if he’s back at full speed.
