Turner was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the A's, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old was scheduled to play the field at third base for the first time since coming off the injured list last week, but he's been removed from the lineup a couple hours before first pitch. The team has yet to provide an official reason, but the obvious worry is that Turner aggravated the hamstring strain he just returned from. Edwin Rios takes over at the hot corner Tuesday for the Dodgers.

Turner will likely play third base Tuesday for the first time since returning from the injured list, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Turner will start at third base in Tuesday's game against Oakland. The veteran has served as the designated hitter during each of his five starts since returning from the injured list Sept. 15, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with three walks over that span.

Turner is not in the lineup Friday against the Rockies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner started three straight games as the designated hitter after returning from the injured list Tuesday. A.J. Pollock (hamstring) fills that role Friday, with Edwin Rios starting at third base.

Turner (hamstring) went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's first game back from an injured-list stint was a big success. He plated Mookie Betts with an RBI single in the first inning. Turner got on base with another single in the third and came around to score on a Cody Bellinger single. The 35-year-old Turner served as the designated hitter Tuesday, but he should take some playing time from Edwin Rios at third base going forward. Turner has two homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 33 games this season.

Turner (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list as expected Tuesday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman had been out since late August with a strained hamstring. His .794 OPS in 32 games prior to the injury would be his lowest mark since 2013, though it's still a respectable number. He should fill a near-everyday role upon his return, though the Dodgers can afford to be cautious with the oft-injured veteran with their playoff spot already nearly secured. Josh Sborz was optioned in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis
It was reported earlier in the day that Turner may be ready for a Tuesday return, and manager Dave Roberts confirmed this report following Monday's contest. Turner has been dealing with a hamstring injury for the last two weeks.

Turner (hamstring) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has been on the injured list for two weeks to allow him time to fully recover from a left hamstring strain. However, manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Turner could potentially return to action Tuesday as the designated hitter. The 35-year-old had a .384 OBP with 10 extra-base hits and 20 RBI prior to his injury.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Thursday that the team is targeting early next week for Turner's (hamstring) activation from the injured list, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thanks to a healthy division lead and a firm grasp on a playoff spot, the Dodgers have had the luxury of allowing Turner to take his time healing a strained left hamstring. The third baseman has been on the injured list since Sept. 1, and though initial reports suggested he was slated for a minimum stay, he has only recently started running at about half effort. Turner could work his way back into form by serving as designated hitter with the expectation that he'll be back at the hot corner by the start of the postseason.

Turner (hamstring) has only tried running at 50-60 percent so far, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner is eligible to return from the injured list, but he requires more time as he continues to work his way back from a left hamstring strain. Manager Dave Roberts was optimistic that he could return within a week, although it's likely that he'll be limited to serving as the designated hitter to begin his time back on the active roster.

Turner (hamstring) took swings during a simulated game Sunday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner stood in against reliever Pedro Baez during the latter's sim game as both players progress toward a return to the active roster. Though facing live pitching is a tangible step in a positive direction for Turner, he has yet to clear his biggest hurdle -- running -- in his recovery from a left hamstring strain. The timeline for his return remains uncertain.
