He was drafted in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft out of NC State by the San Diego Padres and subsequently was dealt to the Washington Nationals in an eleven-player three-team deal.
After seven seasons in Washington and two with the Los Angeles Dodgers—via a 2021 trade deadline deal that included Max Scherzer—the Phillies signed Turner to an 11-year, $300 million contract in the 2022 offseason.
Last season, Turner helped lead Philadelphia to its third consecutive postseason and earned his first All-Star selection as a member of the organization.

During Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to the Houston Astros, Isaac Paredes hit a ball towards Turner in the first inning that was initially ruled a hit and produced a run.

Today, MLB decided to overturn that call, officially charging Turner with an error on the play.
Turner has otherwise enjoyed a solid defensive campaign; this marks just his second error in his last 52 games.
In 2025, he has mashed nine home runs, compiled a .295 batting average, posted a .790 OPS and swiped 19 bases, blending speed and power in his offensive production.
A three-time All-Star and World Series champion, Turner will look to bounce back as Philadelphia opens a series against the division rival Atlanta Braves. The Phillies managed just one run in that series sweep by Houston; with the offense sputtering, Turner now faces added pressure to rebound and help maintain the team’s push for a fourth consecutive trip to the postseason.
