The good news for Trea Turner and the Phillies is this: Even as the NL batting leader is out because of a strained right hamstring that could cost him the rest of the regular season, Philadelphia's shortstop expects to be healthy in time to play in October.

Manager Rob Thomson said before Aaron Nola tossed six shutout innings in a 1-0 win Monday night against the New York Mets the MRI results on Turner's hamstring were "better than expected" and that the injury wasn't as severe as the strained left hamstring that sidelined him for six weeks last season.
