Washington Nationals place SS Trea Turner on DL

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

Turner could miss only eight games with off days factored into the equation and manager Dusty Baker said Turner should be ready to play in a matter of days.

Turner was replaced on the 25-man roster by outfielder Michael A. Taylor, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.

Turner left Saturday's game against the Phillies in the first inning with the injury.
