The Washington Nationals will promote Trea Turner on Friday to replace Ryan Zimmerman, who will be placed on the paternity list, according to two sources.

Turner is one of Washington's top prospects -- rated by MLBPipeline.com as No. 2. The infielder is hitting .310 with three home runs, 24 RBIs, 17 stolen bases and a .376 on-base percentage for Triple-A Syracuse.
