Tampa, FL – March 14, 2025 – The Philadelphia Phillies were dealt a concerning blow during their latest spring training matchup, as star shortstop Trea Turner suffered an apparent ankle injury. The incident occurred in the third inning of Friday’s game against the New York Yankees at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Turner, who has been a key offensive force for the Phillies this spring, appeared to roll his ankle while rounding second base after a line drive to left field. He immediately signaled to the dugout and was attended to by the team’s medical staff before limping off the field under his own power.
Manager Rob Thomson addressed the injury postgame, stating, “Trea felt some discomfort, and we didn’t want to take any risks. We’ll evaluate him further and see where things stand.”
While the severity of the injury remains unclear, Turner’s status for the remainder of spring training is now in question. The Phillies are expected to provide an update following further medical examinations.
Turner, a two-time All-Star, has been a crucial part of Philadelphia’s lineup, contributing with both his bat and speed on the basepaths. Phillies fans and teammates will be hoping for a quick recovery as the regular season approaches.
