Trea Turner Takes Batting Practice For 1st Time

Former NC State Shortstop Trea Turner took batting practice for the 1st time yesterday since suffering a broken wrist at the end of June.

So this is kinda good news. Trea Turner hitting on the field for the first time post-injury. pic.twitter.com/mCmEveTPc1

This was great to see, because up until this point he had been limited to rotational exercises and fielding exercises. While there is no timetable set for his return, there is a chance that he could be back on the field with the Nats by the end of the month.

P.S. Even though Trea has missed the past month-and-a-half, his 35 steals still rank 3rd in the Majors.
