Turner will start at designated hitter and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Kyle Tucker jammed his finger in Sunday's contest and will miss at least one game as a result. Tucker's absence will clear a spot in the lineup for Turner, who serves as the Cubs' DH while Seiya Suzuki covers Tucker's usual spot in right field. Turner has yet to get going this season with a .210/.302/.272 slash line across 96 plate appearances, though he could still see an uptick in playing time if Tucker is forced to miss additional games.
