Justin Turner hasn’t been the same player he was last season. After hitting .294/.370/.491 last season, Turner has begun the year with a slash line of .236/.337/.345, and is on pace for only nine HRs after hitting a career-high 16 last season. Tonight the Dodgers face right-hander Jake Arrieta, wh[...]

Justin Turner makes for an economical play Sunday. Who else can give you solid production at cheap price?

Justin Turner is getting a day off against the Padres, with Howie Kendrick starting in his place at third base. Kendrick really isn't a viable fantasy option and is not worth a pickup. Turner has been below average so far this year, and it appears manager Dave Roberts is hoping a little rest will he[...]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are not starting Yasiel Puig or Justin Turner tonight against the Los Angeles Angels. Turner will be replaced by Howie Kendrick, who will start at third base and hit third against Matt Shoemaker. Puig will be replaced by Trayce Thompson, who will start in the outfield and bat[...]

Justin Turner will get a night off as LA takes on the Mets tonight. Turner had been hitting over .300 his last 10 games and appears to have turned a corner. Turner and Adrian Gonzalez are centerpieces of LA's lineup, and their struggles have contributed to the Dodgers' ineptitude at the plate early [...]

Justin Turner turned in a rather unambiguous stat line last night, going 1 for 3. But LA's third baseman has been hitting better as of late, batting .318 in his last six games. The Dodgers need Turner to turn it around desperately, as he and Adrian Gonzalez are centerpieces to their lineup. Turner e[...]

Justin Turner is not actually afraid to play against Jose Fernandez tonight, but he is taking the night off. Howie Kendrick is going to play third base, while Carl Crawford, who recently returned to the active roster, will play left field. Fernandez has been very up and down so far this season. If y[...]

My recent article on over-hyped prospects advised fantasy owners against buying too high for relatively small or non-existent sample sizes. Baseball trumps every other sport, except possibly international soccer, in terms of labeling minor leaguers as future legends before they have proven their worth on the big stage. On the other side of the coin are players who have been written off by the age of 23 because they did not immediately live up to the lofty expectations set by scouts and the m[...]Keep on reading: Three Post-Hype Sleepers Primed for 2016 Breakouts

This article references Justin Turner and more! BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP: 313 ANALYSIS: Justin Turner, 30, had only eclipsed 400 PA once in his career (2011), and only got a shot in 2014 after injuries to Hanley Ramirez and Juan Uribe depleted the Dodgers' depth. He responded by hitting .340 in 322 AB. Considering his .404 BABIP, many folks called for regression. But one year after posting 21.4 runs above average, Turner posted 20.9. In just 117 more PA, he hit nine more homers (16) and drove in 17 more runs (60). Sure, t[...]Keep on reading: Justin Turner (3B, LAD) - Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
