It’s an opportunity for Turner to make an appearance at the hot corner, potentially for the final time in his career, at Dodger Stadium. The 40-year-old has been mostly limited to first base this season in his Cubs debut, hitting .222 (4-for-18) with three RBI in eight games. It’ll be rookie Matt Shaw taking a seat on Saturday night.

Shaw has gotten off to a slow start at Iowa, hitting just 5-for-26 in his first seven games. However, he has five walks and just one strikeout, and will most likely quickly show that he is too talented to remain at that level for long. It may just take another few weeks before that works itself out, which makes him hard to stash in most league types.

Pressly was tasked with facing the heart of the Phillies’ lineup and got right to work — getting Trea Turner on a ground ball to third base and Bryce Harper on a ground ball to shortstop. He then issued a two-out walk to Kyle Schwarber before retiring Nick Castellanos on a fly ball to end the inning. The right-hander showed no signs of his right knee issue bothering him and his velocity was exactly where you’d hope it would be. It looks like Pressly still has a lock on the closer’s gig for the time being.

The right-hander struck out two batters on the evening and did not issue a free pass. He induced a ton of weak contact and kept the Phillies’ hitters off-balance for much of the evening. The only run that scored against him came on an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third inning. Taillon got just four whiffs on 88 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 20 percent. The 33-year-old hurler now boasts a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 26/7 K/BB ratio over 33 2/3 innings through his first six starts on the season. He’ll take on the Brewers his next time out in Milwaukee on Saturday.

Raley also drew a walk. It’s nice to see him drive the baseball Saturday, as he is still just slugging .289 on the young campaign. Raley has been hot-and-cold for the past two-plus seasons, and the hope is that this is the start of a hot run for the 30-year-old outfielder/infielder.
