Turner (groin) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts speculated Sunday that Turner may miss the beginning of the series in Philadelphia, and that is indeed the case. It's unclear whether the 36-year-old will be available off the bench Tuesday. Chris Taylor starts at third base and bats seventh.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday after the Dodgers' 8-2 win over the Angels that Turner (groin) will be "down for a few days, and then we'll re-evaluate," Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers are off Monday, but Roberts' comments would seem to hint that he isn't banking on Turner returning to the lineup for Tuesday's series opener in Philadelphia, after the third baseman exited early Sunday with left groin discomfort. Turner is still being viewed as day-to-day, so for the time being, Los Angeles is optimistic that he'll avoid the injured list.

Turner exited Sunday's game against the Angels due to left groin discomfort, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner appeared to suffer his injury while making a diving play in the top of the second inning, and he was removed in the bottom half of the frame. The 36-year-old is considered day-to-day, and he'll have at least one day to recover since the Dodgers have a scheduled day off Monday.

Turner was removed in the bottom of the second inning of Sunday's game against the Angels with an apparent leg injury, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers have yet to provide an update on Turner's condition, but he appeared to hurt himself while making a diving play on a grounder and then throwing out Jose Iglesias for the out in the top half of the second, according to Eric Stephen of SBNation.com. Turner went 0-for-1 with a stolen base and an RBI before Albert Pujols pinch hit for him when his second turn through the order came up in the bottom of the second. Consider Turner day-to-day until manager Dave Roberts offers more information about the third baseman's health.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in an 8-3 victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner singled in the first and launched a go-ahead two-run home run in seventh that gave Los Angeles the lead for good. The homer was the third baseman's 19th of the season and he's on track to at least approach his career high 27 along with an excellent .295/.385/.499 slash line.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two RBI in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Turner got on the board in the third with a solo blast to left center to put the Dodgers up 4-1. He's been on an elite tear this month, slashing .387/.458/.710 with six homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 4:8 BB:K over his last 18 games. He is one of the toughest outs at the plate and continues to be one of the best fantasy assets year in and year out.

Turner (knee) is starting at third base and batting third Thursday against the Giants, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran third baseman took the day off Wednesday after suffering a bruise on his left knee during Tuesday's contest, and he'll rejoin the lineup after missing only one game. Turner is 5-for-20 with two homers, two doubles, five RBI and five runs in six games since the All-Star break.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Giants that Turner (knee) won't start Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner will get Wednesday off to heal up after he was forced out of Tuesday's game when he was struck in the left knee with a pitch. He was diagnosed with nothing more than a bruise after the game, leaving the Dodgers optimistic Turner will avoid a trip to the 10-day injured list. Turner could still be available off the bench Wednesday, but Roberts would presumably prefer to stay away from him, if possible.

Turner was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants after being hit by a pitch on the left knee, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran third baseman was struck by a pitch during the third inning but remained in the game for a few frames before exiting the contest. According to Eric Stephen of SBNation.com, the initial diagnosis is a knee bruise, and Turner should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.
