Turner landed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain after beating out an infield single and coming up awkwardly at first base.

An MRI confirmed the strain; the earliest he could return is Sept. 19 in the three-game set with Arizona, but a full return that soon isn’t expected as he ramps up with pole runs and catch work and will swing a bat soon.

Philadelphia will monitor progress and map a late-season plan to get Turner some at-bats before October, a move that could determine their postseason push and power the lineup in a tight NL race.

Old Mets habits meet the 2025 club in a tight playoff chase. Beltrán and Reyes urge aggression and trust, while 2007 veterans stress one-at-a-time focus and avoiding past mistakes. The current rotation is stretched, with Senga in the minors and rookies McLean, Tong and Sproat stepping in, just as a seven-game slide tests a team that once fought through a late-season collapse for a wild-card shot.

With 14 games left and an expanded format, this Mets can still rally, but it requires staying in the moment, as Delgado and Lo Duca advise about efficient at-bats and backing teammates. Alumni Randolph sees talent plus rhythm as the recipe to finish strong, turning a potential fade into a sprint toward the post-season.
