Turner will have an MRI on his sore left ankle, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays were inconclusive, but the ankle is still causing Turner discomfort so the Dodgers want to get to the bottom of the issue. Given that he needs an MRI Wednesday or Thursday, it seems unlikely that he would be able to return prior to this weekend's series against the Mets, at the earliest. The Dodgers have already won the NL West, so they can afford to be patient with Turner. Jedd Gyorko is starting at third base and hitting eighth Wednesday.

Turner (ankle) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has been out since Sept. 7 although X-rays on his ankle were negative. It's unclear if he is day-to-day or a little worse than that. Jedd Gyorko will start at third base and hit eighth.

Turner (ankle) underwent X-rays on Tuesday which came back negative, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was set to rejoin Tuesday's lineup from the sore ankle but later scratched and underwent the X-rays. The 34-year-old won't immediately undergo an MRI, but he could receive one if there's no noticeable improvement. The team didn't make any declarations, but Turner seems like a good bet to be held out again Wednesday.

Turner (ankle) was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Turner initially appeared to be ready to go after missing one day with a sore ankle, but he evidently needs a bit more time. Chris Taylor will move in to third base in his absence, with Enrique Hernandez moving to right field and Gavin Lux entering the lineup at second base.

Turner (ankle), who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, had his one-game suspension withdrawn following a successful appeal, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The suspension stemmed from Turner making contact with an umpire back in a Aug. 27 game against the Rockies, but Major League Baseball apparently ruled that his actions didn't warrant any further punishment beyond an undisclosed fine. While the Dodgers revealed Sunday that Turner was tending to a sore ankle, the veteran at least received some good news heading into the upcoming week. Following an off day Monday, Los Angeles expects to have Turner back in the lineup Tuesday, when the team begins a two-game set in Baltimore.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants due to a sore ankle, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's absence from the starting nine in the series finale was initially believed to be the result of a maintenance day, but the Dodgers later relayed that an injury was behind his move to the bench. Fortunately for the veteran third baseman and fantasy managers alike, the ankle issue is only viewed as a minor concern. After a team off day Monday, the Dodgers expect Turner to rejoin the lineup at either third base or designated hitter Tuesday in Baltimore.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's absence looks to be little more than a routine off day for the veteran, who had started nine of the Dodgers' past 10 games. Matt Beaty will step in for Turner at third base in the series finale.
