Turner has been diagnosed with a broken right wrist and there is no timetable for his return, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.
This is crushing news for the Nationals as Turner had been a key cog in the top third of the lineup and a game-changer on the basepaths. He suffered the injury late in Thursday's game when he was plunked on the wrist by a pitch and was sent for X-rays directly after the game. There's no timetable for him at this point, but this is an injury that could keep Turner on the shelf for a while. Stephen Drew and Wilmer Difo stand to platoon at shortstop in Turner's absence unless the Nationals opt to look outside the organization for other shortstop options.
