Daily News | Rob Thomson gives struggling Trea Turner a day off in finale against Orioles
After Trea Turner made two errors and got ejected for arguing a called third strike in the sixth inning Monday night,”No way,” Turner said. “I want to play.”But Thomson also said Tuesday that he was thinking of sitting Turner one day this week to give him a two-day breather with Thursday’s off-day. True to his word, he plans to rest Turner in Wednesday night’s series finale against the Orioles, Thomson said in his weekly interview with 94-WIP, the team’s flagship radio station.
It will mark only the second game that Turner has not started. The Phillies have no plans to give him additional rest. Thomson also has stuck with Turner in the No. 2 spot in the order. ”He’s going to play his way out of this,” Thomson said Tuesday. “As long as he mentally feels strong and good, then I’m good with it.”
