Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
What power outage? Turner hit only one home run through his first 34 games this year but now has four long balls in the last two, following up Tuesday's three-homer barrage with a 404-foot shot to left field off Jacob Webb in the eighth inning Wednesday. The performance has added 101 points to Turner's SLG, and he now boasts a .299/.385/.448 slash line on the year.

Turner went 4-for-5 with three home runs and six RBI in Tuesday's 9-0 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
It was basically a two-man show for the Dodgers, as Hyun-Jin Ryu tossed his second career shutout and Turner gave him more than enough run support by going deep in the first, fifth and eighth innings. The third baseman came into the game with only one long ball on the year, but otherwise he's been catching fire at the plate, slashing .415/.455/.756 over his last 10 games.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs and a walk in the Dodgers' 10-3 win over the Giants on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner had been in a prolonged power drought to start the season with no long balls in his first 100 at-bats, but he finally broke through against the Giants, touching up Ty Blach for a solo blast in the seventh inning for his first of the year. The veteran's slugging percentage still sits at just .337, but hopefully this breakthrough is a sign he's ready for a power surge.

Turner went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was one of the few Los Angeles hitters able to muster any offense against Jose Quintana, as his third-inning two-bagger was one of the just two extra-base hits on the night for the Dodgers. Tuesday's performance aside, Turner's power has been conspicuously absent through the Dodgers' first 25 games, as he has zero homers and only three doubles to his name. Turner is at least sporting a strong batting average and on-base percentage, and a career-best 50.8 percent hard-hit rate offers hope that his slugging percentage could soon be on the upswing, too.

Turner (ankle, hamstring) is starting at third base and hitting third Thursday against the Brewers, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner missed Tuesday's game due to an ankle bruise and hamstring tightness, but he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance Wednesday and reported no issues, clearing the way for him to rejoin the starting lineup. The veteran third baseman, who is slashing .297/.382/.328 with eight RBI through 18 games this season, will face right-hander Zach Davies in his first game back.

Turner (ankle, hamstring) made a pinch-hit appearance in the Dodgers' 3-2 win over the Reds on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman has been held out of the starting lineup for the last two games after fouling a ball of his ankle and feeling hamstring tightness, but he came off the bench for Joc Pederson in the eighth inning of this contest. This is a good sign Turner's injuries are minor and he should be able to rejoin the starting lineup in short order.
