Shortstop Trea Turner will rejoin the Philadelphia Phillies for their regular-season finale Sunday against the Minnesota Twins , Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters Saturday.

Turner is on the injured list because of a strained right hamstring. He hasn't played since Sept. 7, although the National League East champion Phillies said at the time of the injury that he was expected back by the playoffs.

Thomson said Turner will play shortstop Sunday but isn't expected to go the full nine innings.

Turner leads the National League in batting average (.305), and his 179 hits rank second behind the San Diego Padres ' Luis Arraez entering Saturday. Turner also has 36 stolen bases.

Philadelphia lost to the Twins 5-0 on Saturday, locking it into the No. 2 seed in the NL playoffs
