Turner has been taking part in baseball activities but has yet to begin running, casting uncertainty on when he will be activated, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Recent reports had Turner on track for a minimum IL stay and Tuesday return, but that scenario now appears unlikely given the fact that the veteran has yet to test his strained left hamstring in running drills. Manager Dave Roberts echoed that sentiment Saturday, stating that he doesn't know when Turner will be activated despite the third baseman's steady progress. "Yesterday was a pretty good day," said Roberts. "He took grounders on his knees, he threw to about 120 feet, took swings in the cage, did a little bit of moving around as far as running with the strength guys. When he's ready, it's a day-to-day thing. When we feel that Justin's ready to be activated, he'll be activated. I just don't know when that's going to be." There is little reason for the Dodgers to rush one of their core players back since they sit comfortably in playoff position with MLB's best record (30-11).

Turner (hamstring) is expected to come off the injured list before Tuesday's game against Arizona, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 29) on Sept. 1. The Dodgers have an off day Monday, so a Tuesday return would mark a minimum IL stay for the third baseman. While Turner's return is imminent, the team is likely to take a cautious approach to his playing time down the stretch given his recent history of hamstring injuries. "We certainly have some off-days looking out later to September, so there's the balance of not red-lighting him, but also you got to ramp him up to get ready for the postseason so he's sharp," manager Dave Roberts said. "We'll thread the needle with that."

Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.
EDGE Analysis
Turner underwent a pre-game workout Tuesday to determine whether a trip to the injured list would be necessary, and he apparently needs more than a couple days before returning to full health. The 35-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but he'll be eligible to be activated Sept. 8. Edwin Rios (hamstring) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move and will start at third base, though Enrique Hernandez, Chris Taylor and Max Muncy could all see time there during Turner's absence.

Turner (hamstring) will work out prior to Tuesday's game to determine whether he'll be able to return in a couple days or will require a trip to the injured list, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old hasn't seen game action since exiting Friday's contest with the hamstring issue. Regardless of the pre-game workout, Turner won't play in Tuesday's game and also seems unlikely to be available Wednesday, even if he avoids the injured list.

Manager Dave Roberts said the "best-case scenario" is to have Turner (hamstring) serve as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran third baseman hasn't seen game action since exiting Friday's game against the Rangers with a hamstring injury. Given Roberts' description, it wouldn't be surprising to see the team play it safe and hold Turner out of the lineup again Tuesday if he isn't 100 percent.

Turner (hamstring) won't start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's injury was initially described as a cramp, but manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he's dealing with a low-grade strain. He'll sit for a second straight game Sunday and be evaluated for Tuesday's contest. Chris Taylor or Max Muncy could fill in at third base.

Turner left Friday's game against the Rangers with a hamstring injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts said after the game that Turner was dealing with a hamstring issue, but he said that the issue was likely a cramp rather than a strain. Turner won't play Saturday, but the team will reassess his status afterward.

Turner exited Friday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Turner went 4-for-6 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's loss against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Turner took advantage of Monday's day off to rest his sore hamstring, and he made quite an impact on offense with his first four-hit performance of the season. The slugging third baseman has hit safely in 15 of the Dodgers' last 17 games and his consistency at the plate has been nothing short of spectacular, as he's slashing .339/.431/.484 in that 17-game stretch.

Turner (hamstring) is starting at third base and batting third Tuesday at San Francisco, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old sat out Sunday's contest with a sore hamstring after being hit by a pitch a day prior, but he's good to go coming out of Monday's scheduled off day. Turner has a .272/.372/.408 slash line with two homers through 28 games this season.
