Turner is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Turner will get a scheduled day off with the Dodgers playing an afternoon game following a night game. In his place, Max Muncy is covering third base, with Joc Pederson at first and Matt Beaty in left. Over his last 10 games, Turner is slashing .250/.308/.417 with one home run and three RBI.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 3-2 victory against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This was Turner's first homer since June 14, and just his second of the month. Turner hit five long balls in May, but April was a very dry homer period too, as he only had one in that month. Turner's power has been increasingly deteriorating since he smashed a career-best 27 homers in 2016. Part of his decline has been the fact he hasn't been completely healthy the last couple years. He's on pace to hit between 15-20 homers this year, and so far, he's missed minimal time in 2019 because of injury. Turner is batting .300 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 38 runs and one steal in 260 at-bats this season.

Turner will sit for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers play a day game Wednesday coming off a night game, so manager Dave Roberts said Turner will get a maintenance day for the midweek road tilt with Arizona. Roberts said he hasn't decided who will man the hot corner in Turner's place, but Russell Martin has been taking reps at the position and is a potential option.

Turner was ejected from Friday's game against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was tossed following a Cody Bellinger home run, as he evidently said something to the home-plate umpire from the dugout that warranted his removal from the contest. Turner went 0-for-2 prior to getting ejected.

Turner went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old is still nursing a sore hamstring and looked limited on the basepaths -- at least one of the doubles could have been stretched into a triple had Turner been running at 100 percent -- but he still delivered his first extra-base hits since missing three games May 30-June 1 due to the issue. He's now slashing .312/.397/.450 with six homers and 27 RBI through 57 games on the year.
