Eno and DVR discuss a hamstring injury for Trea Turner, who has built a strong case to be considered for NL MVP honors in his age-32 season. Plus, they take a look around the league after another busy weekend and take stock of the still crowded AL Wild Card race, the Dodgers' shrinking lead (one game) in the NL West, and a few waiver wire observations.
