Manager Dusty Baker said Friday that Turner's promotion "is a weekend thing," James Wagner of the Washington Post reports.
The Nats brought up the heralded prospect Friday with Ryan Zimmerman going on paternity leave, and there has been speculation Turner could stick long term now that the organization has gained an extra year of control. Baker indicated Turner will go back to Triple-A once Zimmerman returns, although it shouldn't be long before Turner's up for good, and he projects as a prolific source of speed once in a regular role. Turner is starting at second base and batting second Friday with Daniel Murphy at first base.
