It was Turner's first multi-homer game of the season, and he hit only .236/.320/.360 with the two home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 25 games in the month of July. Fantasy managers will be hoping that the 37-year-old veteran can build off Thursday's performance moving ...

It's been an uncharacteristically poor campaign, as he hasn't posted an OPS below .832 since 2013. Hopefully, this gets Turner going and he can once ...

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner has been cold at the dish so far this spring.

We keep expecting Turner's age (he's now 37) to catch up with him, but that surely did not happen in 2021. He played a full season (612 PA), posting a very competitive .278/.361/.471 slash line with 27 homers, 87 runs, and 87 RBI. That is a season that would make for a top-100 hitter easily if he were ten years younger. But, of course, he is not younger and eventually the production will grind to a halt. If that process will begin in 2022 is anybody's guess, but last season shows no evidence ...
