Nationals' Trea Turner: Apparently will be called up Friday
Turner will apparently be called up by the Nationals on Friday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.
Manager Dusty Baker said the Nationals would make a roster move Friday, and Turner is reportedly on his way to New York, so it appears he will be the player getting the call. It's not immediately apparent where Turner will fit in the Nationals' lineup, or if he will remain with the team after the All-Star break, but he has spent time in center field of late, so he could be used as a super-utility player if he stays with the big league club for good. Turner will have eligibility at shortstop in most leagues, so it doesn't necessarily matter if he's not playing there this year, as long as he is getting steady at-bats. He brings a plus-plus hit tool and plus speed to the table, and would be worth an add in almost all formats if it starts to look like he'll get pretty regular playing time.
