Designated hitter Justin Turner is day-to-day with a left heel contusion (h/t Chris Cotillo of MassLive). He left Monday’s recreation in opposition to the Seattle Mariners after he jammed his foot operating to first base within the ninth inning.

This harm doesn’t seem like severe, with supervisor Alex Cora providing just a few phrases of optimism to reporters after the sport.

“They’re gonna verify on him however he must be superb,” Cora mentioned, per Cotillo. “It was his [heel] when he hit the bag so we’ll see how he feels.”

The Pink Sox have been on fireplace for the reason that summer time started, and Turner is a big a part of that. He has totaled a serious league-leading 49 RBIs since June 1 and has been hitting .341 with a 1.020 OPS since that month ended. He has single handedly stored the Pink Sox offense in a number of video games this season, twice in opposition to the San Francisco Giants this weekend.

This isn’t Turner’s first baseball harm this calendar yr, and it actually isn’t the worst. A fastball hit him within the face throughout a spring coaching recreation on March 9, however he was again in motion two weeks later.

As of Tuesday morning, Turner is questionable for Tuesday evening’s recreation in opposition to the Seattle Mariners. No matter Turner’s standing, the sport will begin at 9:40 p.m., when Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller will take the mound and oppose Brayan Bello and the Pink Sox.
