Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than a routine maintenance day after the 39-year-old had started in each of the Blue Jays' last nine games. Daniel Vogelbach will fill in for Turner as Toronto's designated hitter.

Turner is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Turner's third day out of the lineup thus far this season, as the Jays look to keep the veteran fresh. He is hitting .350 with one home run, seven runs and five RBI in 40 at-bats. Daniel Vogelbach is starting at designated hitter and batting cleanup against righty Dakota Hudson.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's absence doesn't appear to be anything more than a maintenance day as the Blue Jays and Yankees wrap up their series with an afternoon contest that begins at 1:35 p.m. ET. With Turner on the bench, George Springer will get a day out of the outfield and will serve as Toronto's designated hitter.

Turner went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a walk in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Turner cranked a pair of doubles off Framber Valdez early in the contest. The 39-year-old veteran would later draw a two-out walk against Josh Hader in the ninth before coming around to score on Davis Schneider's eventual game-winning homer. Turner's gotten off to a nice start in Toronto, logging two three-hit games in his last three matchups. Overall, he's 7-for-20 with a homer and four RBI while serving as the Blue Jays' primary DH.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, double and a walk, driving in four runs and scoring two.
EDGE Analysis
Turner had collected just one hit in the first three games of the season but tripled that figure Sunday. He drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single in the first, then added a two-RBI double in the third and a solo homer in the fifth. The 39-year-old off-season signing from Boston is the primary third baseman for the Blue Jays and can still bring it at the plate after hitting .276 with 23 homers and 96 RBI last season

Turner went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger got hold of a Roansy Contreras offering in the first inning and launched it down the left-field line for his first homer of the spring. Turner is batting .333 (8-for-24) in Grapefruit League action with a 5:4 BB:K, and the 39-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down as he gets ready for his first season in a Blue Jays uniform.

Turner went 3-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
New York didn't send its A-listers to Dunedin for the contest -- Turner's singles came off Dennis Santana, Duane Underwood and Clayton Andrews -- but it was still a nice performance from the 39-year-old slugger. Turner is batting .333 (7-for-21) through 10 spring contests with a 5:4 BB:K, although his only extra-base hit so far is a double. He's expected to spend most of the season as the Blue Jays' DH while hitting in the heart of the order.
