Washington Nationals send Trea Turner out on rehab assignment with High-A Potomac

Washington Nationals’ shortstop Trea Turner got four games in this season before he broke the index finger on his right hand when he squared to bunt in the first at bat of an April 2nd game against the Philadelphia Phillies in the nation’s capital.

A year after playing in all 162, Turner’s 2019 campaign got off to a rough start, and the 25-year-old shortstop has been out of action ever since, though he did step up the rehab in recent days as he waited for the finger to heal.

Trea Turner has been progressing and improving quite a bit,” GM Mike Rizzo told 106.
