Manager Rob Thomson said the team's medical staff is happy with Turner's progress.
ran around the outfield with an athletic trainer and did fielding drills on one knee with coach Bobby Dickerson.When Turner strained his left hamstring two weeks ago, he estimated that returning in less than six weeks “would be a win,” based on the information he got from team doctors.
Turner hasn’t been on the injured list for non-COVID reasons since 2019, when he broke his right index finger while playing for Washington. He joked that the athletic trainers will be eager for him to resume playing because he’s driving them crazy during the rehab.“Not really,” Thomson said. “The trainers are very happy with where he’s at. He’s doing stuff, he’s getting it done, and I think he’s being careful about it, too.
Walker “couldn’t even move his toe” after leaving Thursday night’s game in the fourth inning, according to Thomson. X-rays were negative.The Phillies are off Monday, but Thomson said he doesn’t plan to skip Walker’s spot in the rotation because he wants to give each of the starter an extra day of rest. If Walker is unable to pitch next week at home against the Rangers, Spencer Turnbull could be a candidate to make that start, likely Wednesday night.
Walker will throw a light bullpen session — “a little touch-and-feel,” as Thomson described it — Monday. But theIn four starts, Walker is 3-0 with a 4.91 ERA. He pitched into the seventh inning twice before completing six innings last weekend in Miami.
