    Edmundo Sosa replaced Turner as the baserunner and at shortstop.

    Turner strained his left hamstring early last season and was sidelined for six weeks.

    “Hopefully, not as bad as that,” Turner said. “Try to get back as fast as you can and get ready for that last little stretch and hopefully, the postseason push.”

    Turner, 32, leads the National League in batting average at .305 and also has a league-leading 179 hits this season.

    The NL East-leading Phillies open a four-game home series against the second-place New York Mets on Monday. The Mets trail the Phillies by seven games.

    “It’s never a good time, but having something like this late is not fun,” Turner said. “When these games obviously really matter, you need to be out there. More frustrating than anything is coming down the stretch, big games and not being able to be out there. Hopefully, it’s not too many.”
