Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner returned to the lineup for the first time in three weeks when he strained his right hamstring and was set to clinch his second career NL batting crown.
Turner was activated off the injured list ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota for the NL East champion Phillies and will bat leadoff. Turner is the only player in the National League batting above .300 headed into baseball's final day of the season.
In a corresponding move, right-hander Max Lazar was optioned to the rookie-level Florida Complex League Phillies.
