Phillies' Turner, Realmuto Injured Ahead of Series Finale vs. Nationals

The Philadelphia Phillies are facing potential lineup challenges as shortstop Trea Turner and catcher J.T. Realmuto are both sidelined due to injuries. Turner was scratched from Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals due to back spasms, which he attributes to a prior hip issue that worsened while fielding ground balls during warmups. Meanwhile, Realmuto left Saturday's game after fouling a ball off his foot, but X-rays returned negative, indicating his injury may be minor. Manager Rob Thomson emphasized caution regarding both players' injuries, stating he won't risk their health. Edmundo Sosa will continue to fill in for Turner at shortstop, while Rafael Marchán is expected to catch if Realmuto is unable to play. The Phillies are looking to maintain their winning streak after opening the season with two victories against the Nationals.
