Manny Machado To Play Third With Justin Turner Out rotoballer.com Mon 7/23/18 1:40 PM
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Manny Machado will play third base until Justin Turner (groin) returns from the disabled list. It's great for Machado's fantasy value going into next year, as this should allow him to retain both third base and shortstop eligibility. With Machado at third, Chris Taylor can move back to shortstop. Max Muncy is starting at first and Cody Bellinger is in the outfield on Monday.
Justin Turner Placed On DL, Alex Verdugo Recalled rotoballer.com Mon 7/23/18 1:09 PM
Updating a previous report, the Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Justin Turner (groin) on the 10-day disabled list with a right groin strain and recalled outfield prospect Alex Verdugo from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Turner's 2018 season has been marred by injuries after his breakout in 2017. It's likely he'll be out well beyond the 10 days, but fantasy owners need to be patient with him. Max Muncy is the most likely candidate to fill in at the hot corner with Tur[...]

Justin Turner Expected To Land On DL rotoballer.com Sun 7/22/18 3:00 PM
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said third baseman Justin Turner (groin) is likely to land back on the disabled list after aggravating his injury on Sunday. Turner's 2018 season has been defined by injuries, and he was returning after 11 games on the sidelines due to his right groin injury. Before Sunday, Turner was hitting just .256 with five home runs and 19 RBI on the year. Keep him stashed everywhere, but the Dodgers probably won't be rushing him back if he goes back on the DL.
Justin Turner Re-Injures Himself Sunday rotoballer.com Sun 7/22/18 12:20 PM
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) left the game early in the third inning on Sunday after re-injuring his groin. It was his first start in 11 days. Turner broke out in 2017 but hasn't been able to recapture that magic this year, mainly due to injuries. He was batting only .256 with five home runs, 19 RBI and 21 runs in 164 at-bats coming into Sunday's game. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him land on the disabled list now. Logan Forsythe would be the main beneficiary at [...]

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner will return to the lineup to bat third against the Brewers Sunday. Turner had not been starting for the past few games while nursing a groin injury but will start and play third base. Max Muncy will move over to play first while Cody Bellinger (rest) will get the day off against lefty Brent Suter, as he is hitting just .222 against lefties this season. Both Turner and Muncy are everyday fantasy starters and should be deployed as such. Bellinger[...]
Justin Turner Expected To Return To Lineup On Sunday rotoballer.com Sat 7/21/18 7:56 PM
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hip) is expected to return to the team's lineup on Sunday. He had been out of the lineup since July 12 with a tight left abductor. He was able to pinch-hit during Saturday's contest and it looks like he'll be ready to go come Sunday. The Dodgers infield is a bit crowded with the addition of Manny Machado, however, Turner should be able to find his way into the lineup on most nights. He is hitting .258 on the season with five home runs and 19 RBI[...]
Justin Turner Miss Fifth Straight Game rotoballer.com Fri 7/20/18 4:05 PM
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hip) was not in the team's lineup on Friday, missing his fifth straight game. Turner has been sidelined with an abductor injury and was replaced at third by Max Muncy.

Manny Machado - New Team, New Fantasy Outlook rotoballer.com Thu 7/19/18 3:10 AM
After weeks of rumors, analysis, endless speculation, and a brief snag, it has finally happened: baseball's most-prized trade target is finally moving to a new home. The Baltimore Orioles have traded shortstop phenom Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers for outfielder Yusniel Diaz (Dodgers No. 4 prospect), third baseman Rylan Bannon (No. 27), pitchers Dean Kremer (No. 28) and Zach Pop, and second baseman Breyvic Valera, per MLB.com.

Justin Turner Out Again Sunday rotoballer.com Sun 7/15/18 10:17 AM
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is absent from the starting lineup for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday. Turner has been dealing with a hip injury that's been sidelining him and the Dodgers want to play it safe and rest him up heading into the All Star break so that he is hopefully healthy by the end of it. Turner has been a pretty big disappointment this season batting just .258 with a .747 OPS after hitting .322 with a .945 OPS last year. [...]
