Turner (hamstring, ankle) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Reds, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner missed Tuesday's game due to both an ankle bruise and hamstring tightness. He was expected to return Wednesday but evidently needs at least one more day. Max Muncy starts at third base in his absence.

Turner's omission from Tuesday's lineup is due to an ankle knock and hamstring tightness, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner fouled a pitch off his left ankle in batting practice and also felt tightness in his left hamstring, per Gurnick, which is why he'll sit for Tuesday's contest against the Reds. He should be considered day-to-day until more information becomes available.

Turner is out of Tuesday's lineup against Cincinnati, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner will get a breather after picking up a pair of hits in Monday night's win. With Turner riding the bench, Max Muncy will move to the hot corner, which opens up a spot at first base for David Freese.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Turner started the past five games at third base and went 5-for-19 with one double and one RBI, but will take a seat for the series finale. Max Muncy will start at third base and bat fifth while Cody Bellinger steps in at first base.

Turner is back in the lineup, hitting second and playing third base for Tuesday's contest against the Cardinals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner received a maintenance day on Monday, but he'll slide back into the second spot in the order and man the hot corner on Tuesday. The 34-year-old is hitting .293 with a .375 on-base percentage through 41 at-bats, although he is still looking to find his power stroke as he's slugging just .317 and is still looking for his first long ball.

Turner is not in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has started the last six games for the Dodgers, going 8-for-25 with a pair of RBI and three runs scored in those contests. He'll take a seat for Monday's series opener, allowing Alex Verdugo to pick up a start in the outfield while Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy man first and third base, respectively.

Turner is back in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Turner received a maintenance day Sunday, but he's back in action, hitting second for the opener of the Dodgers' series against the Giants. The 34-year-old veteran went 3-for-5 with five RBI in his last start, so he'll look to keep the momentum going against San Francisco lefty Drew Pomeranz.

Turner is not in the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Turner started each of the Dodgers' first three games and appears to be receiving a routine day of rest. He's coming a strong performance Saturday, in which he recorded three hits, drove in five and scored three runs. Max Muncy will take over at third base and bat fourth.

Turner has posted excellent numbers this spring, hitting .465/.574/.814 in 18 games.
EDGE Analysis
It's great to see Turner swinging the bat well so far, but the question with him for the past several years has always been health, not performance. This time last season, he had just recently broken his wrist, an injury which kept him out until mid-May. It's unwise to read too much into spring stats, but Turner certainly looks healthy right now and should produce numbers in line with his recent seasons for as long as he can stay on the field.

Turner did not practice Wednesday while resting his knee after an annual spring knee lubrication injection, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injection doesn't appear to be of any concern, as Turner undergoes the procedure every spring. He's expected to be back on the field Thursday.
