Manager Dave Roberts said Turner was diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain Wednesday and will miss the rest of the playoffs, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner pulled up while attempting to beat out a double play during Game 4 on Wednesday, and he was removed from the contest after limping off the field. The 36-year-old went 1-for-3 with a run before leaving the game and struggled overall in the postseason this year, going 4-for-34 with a solo homer and three runs. He'll have three-plus months to get healthy for the start of spring training in February, while Chris Taylor is likely to fill in at third base for Los Angeles for the rest of the playoffs.

Turner was removed from Wednesday's Game 4 of the NLCS against Atlanta due to a left hamstring injury, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner suffered the injury during the bottom of the seventh inning when attempting to beat out a double play. The 36-year-old has struggled throughout the playoffs and went 1-for-3 with run before leaving Game 4. The Dodgers will need to make a decision whether to keep Turner on the NLCS roster or remove him, which would rule him out for the World Series should they advance.

Turner (neck) will bat fifth and play third base Tuesday in Game 3 of the NLCS against Atlanta, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was on the bench for Game 2 due to a neck stinger. He hasn't looked like himself throughout the postseason, hitting .107/.194/.214 in eight games, but the Dodgers seemingly believe he's healthy enough to be one of their best options Tuesday.

Turner (neck) is expected to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's NLCS Game 3 matchup against Atlanta, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has struggled to a .107/.194/.214 line through eight games so far this postseason, a performance which could be related to the neck issue which forced him to the bench for Game 2 on Sunday. He was able to appear as a pinch hitter in that contest and should be involved from the start Tuesday.

Turner is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the NLCS against Atlanta on Sunday due to a stinger on the right side of his neck, Tyler Kepner of The New York Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has apparently been experiencing some difficulty turning his neck, so he'll be limited to pinch-hit duties off the bench for Game 2. Manager Dave Roberts said he expects the veteran third baseman to be back in the lineup for Game 3 on Tuesday, so it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. Chris Taylor will start at the hot corner in his absence Sunday.

Turner is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the NCLS against Atlanta on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
No injury has been reported for Turner, so it appears to just be a day off for the veteran third baseman. He has yet to find much of a rhythm in the playoffs, going 3-for-28 with a solo home run, a walk, an additional run scored and seven strikeouts in seven games. Chris Taylor will start at the hot corner in his place Sunday.
