Shortstop Trea Turner is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies conclude their three-game series against the Washington Nationals on Sunday afternoon.
Turner was scratched from the Phillies’ 11-6 win over the Nationals on Saturday with a back spasm.
Catcher J.T. Realmuto fouled a ball off his left foot in that game and exited in the seventh inning. X-rays came back negative for Realmuto, who also is out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale.
Edmundo Sosa will receive his second straight start at shortstop and bat sixth in the lineup, while Rafael Marchan will be behind the plate and bat ninth for Philadelphia on Sunday.
The Phillies won the first two games of the series and will send veteran right-hander Aaron Nola to the mound to try to complete a sweep. He will be opposed by left-hander Mitchell Parker, who is beginning his second season in the majors.
