Turner went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 11-6 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran third baseman brought home one run with his second-inning double and two more with a single in the fourth, helping the Dodgers build a big early lead. Turner hasn't posted an OPS below .860 since 2016, and even at 37 years old there's no indication he's about to slow down any time soon.

Turner is noticeably slimmer this spring, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner has typically clocked in over 200 pounds in recent seasons, but he reportedly got down to as low as 192 pounds as the result of a diet that the veteran hopes will help make him "lighter, more mobile and more durable." Manager Dave Roberts noted that Turner has improved his defensive range as a result of the weight loss, though it remains to be seen if it will have an effect on his offense. The third baseman is slugging .278/.395/.472 with one home run and six RBI in Cactus League play.

Turner may see more down time in 2021, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner turned 36 in November and has missed time with injuries in each of the last four seasons, so it makes sense for Los Angeles to allot him a considerable number of off days in order to ensure his health for the team's annual postseason run. Manager Dave Roberts mentioned the desire to get Edwin Rios more opportunities at third base, and the apparent lack of a DH in the NL in 2021 means Turner won't be in the lineup most days when Rios plays, especially since Roberts also ruled out the possibility of Turner seeing time at first base.

Turner announced via his personal Twitter account Saturday he is re-signing with the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old has spent the past seven seasons in Los Angeles, and it's not a major surprise to see him returning to the team after winning the World Series in October. According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Turner will receive $34 million over two years, and the deal also includes a $14 million club option for a third year. He had a .307/.400/.460 slash line with four homers, nine doubles and 23 RBI in 42 games last season, and he should continue to operate as the Dodgers' starting third baseman in 2021.

Turner was removed from Game 6 of the World Series against the Rays on Tuesday due to a positive test for COVID-19, per the FOX telecast.

EDGE Analysis

The news comes as the Dodgers celebrate their first World Series title since 1988, putting the finishing touches on a roller-coaster 2020 season. Turner started at third base and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before being replaced in the field for the start of the eighth inning for what was a previously-unknown reason. The win by Los Angeles helps MLB avoid some serious logistical problems regarding a potential Game 7.

Turner went 2-for-5 with one home run, one double, one RBI and two runs scored in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Turner provided the Dodgers with a lead they never relinquished, smacking a solo home run in the opening inning. He also played a key role in the team's rally in the third frame, doubling and also coming around to score. Turner hasn't hit particularly well throughout the playoffs, though he has an extra-base hit in each of the first three games in the World Series.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs during Friday's win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Turner launched a solo blast against Andrew Heaney in the third inning, bringing the Dodgers within one run. The 25-year-old third baseman then tacked on his second homer of the night against Heaney in the fifth inning. Turner now has four home runs on the season to go with a sturdy slash line of .310/.402/.469.

Turner (hamstring) is starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner has been limited by a left hamstring injury recently, and he was scratched from Tuesday's lineup as a result. However, he'll return to the starting lineup Wednesday, batting third and playing third base.

Turner (hamstring) hopes to return to the lineup Wednesday against Oakland, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts said the team will see how Turner's hamstring responds Wednesday before making a decision on the lineup. He missed 14 games with a strained left hamstring and was then scratched Tuesday with a cramp in the same hamstring. While making Turner the full-time designated hitter could be one route to go during this final week, Roberts said the goal is for him to be able to play the field, at least on a part-time basis.

Turner was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the A's with left hamstring discomfort, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner returned from the injured list last week from the left hamstring strain and appears to have aggravated the injury. The 35-year-old served as the designated hitter in all of his five starts since being activated and was scheduled to play third base Tuesday before the late scratch. The veteran infielder should be considered day-to-day until the team specifies the severity of the aggravation.
