Trea Turner Undergoes Surgery On Index Finger

By Dylan A. Chase | November 16, 2019 at 5:42pm CDT

Nationals shortstop Trea Turner underwent surgery this weekend on his index finger, according to an Instagram post from the player’s profile relayed by Todd Dybas of NBC Sports (link).

The shortstop originally suffered a fracture to the digit while trying to bunt in an Apr 2 game against the Phillies. Though the break required Turner to sit on the IL for roughly six weeks, the 26-year-old ultimately returned to action and gutted out another strong season. If Turner was hindered by only having full use of nine fingers, his .298/.353/.497 slash line over 569 PAs certainly indicated otherwise.

While the bad hand didn’t seem to dampen Turner’s output at the plate, his defense certainly may have suffered as a result; the NC State product logged a -10 DRS and -7 UZR at short in 2019 after recording slightly above-average fielding metrics in 2018. Still, Turner’s overall performance was good enough for 3.5 fWAR and 2.4 bWAR valuations on the year.

While D.C. may have to address the departure of key contributors like Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon, and Howie Kendrick this offseason, the shortstop position projects to be a source of stability for the next several years. After avoiding his first trip through arbitration last year by agreeing to a $3.725MM salary figure with the Nats, Turner is projected to take home a $7.5MM arbitration award in his second trip through the system this offseason. Washington retains control of Turner through the 2022 season.

          The Padres traded Trea Turner in a 3 team trade with the Nats and Rays and the big piece they landed was Wil Myers

          And let’s not forget the Rays flipping Turner for Steven Souza rather than just keeping him.

        Trea Turner was drafted in the first round by the Padres (before Preller) then dumped by Preller immediately

      Don’t forget the Nats also snagged Joe Ross from the Friars too. Nats traded away Stephen Souza and got Trea Turner and Joe Ross in return. Will go down as Rizzo’s single greatest trade.

    I guess he sprained his finger holding it up to signal the Nationals being #1.

          I was thinking Tre. He is under control for one additional year, he is an above-average SS, and he will only make $7m next year while Lindor will make around $20m. I suppose Washington would include a couple of prospects since Lindor is so much better.

        Lana Turner, wasn’t she the inventor? Pioneered radar, I think?

          Nah, it was Lana…she had those giant blips…..registered on every radar…..and it was a matched set, even….

          Heddy Lamarr is the Hollywood actress who was also an inventor.

    Preller’s legacy will include this mess of a trade. While he’s no Tatis, I’m sure Turner would have scooted over to second base when the time was right.

    Myers is useless. Possibly a clubhouse cancer.

    I know this is knitpicking but “certainly may have”?. If it’s just a possibility, how can there be certainty?

    Some more details about the injury and surgery would have been nice. You break a finger in April and have surgery in November? Clearly the bone has healed, so did he have tendon damage too? What did the surgery address?
    Get well soon Trea
