Turner required an X-ray on his left thumb following the Dodgers' 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports. Though X-rays returned negative, manager Dave Roberts said the third baseman is "a little sore."
EDGE Analysis
Turner, who went 1-for-4 at the plate in the loss, hurt the thumb when he fielded a hard-hit ball off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth inning. Considering X-rays revealed no structural damage and Turner was able to shake off the injury and stay in the game, it doesn't look to be a major concern. He seems in little jeopardy of sitting out the Dodgers' three-game series in San Francisco to close out the season, especially with the team in a tight battle for both the NL West title and a wild-card spot.

Turner (wrist) started and went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 5-0 loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts revealed that Turner was dealing with a sore wrist after being hit by a pitch in Saturday's tilt, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. The minor injury was not severe enough to hold the third baseman out of action, and his two-hit performance bodes well for his availability for the Dodgers' crucial upcoming series against the Rockies.

Turner went 3-for-3 with a walk, a hit by pitch and a pair of runs in Saturday's 17-4 victory over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The hit by pitch appeared to have potentially injured Turner, but he remained in the game for several more innings, and X-rays were negative, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. The third baseman has now gone 11-for 23 (.478) over his last seven games.

Turner is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears to be a rare day off for Turner, who has started 25 consecutive games for the Dodgers, slashing an impressive .374/.470/.707 with seven homers, 20 RBI and an 18:15 K:BB over that stretch. Manny Machado will slide over to the hot corner in this one, allowing Chris Taylor to pick up a start at shortstop.

Turner went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs Sunday in the Dodgers' 9-6 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
After supplying a .280 on-base percentage over his past six games, Turner busted out of the slump in a major way in the series finale, reaching base in five of his six plate appearances. Despite the brief skid, Turner has remained hot for the most part since returning from the 10-day disabled list Aug. 2, supplying a 1.185 OPS and contributing 28 runs and 23 RBI over 33 contests during that stretch.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Turner played the role of hero in a crucial NL West matchup against Arizona, taking Zack Grienke deep in the eighth inning to put the Dodgers up for good. The 33-year-old has been unconscious at the plate since returning from the disabled list Aug. 2, slashing .402/.491/.722 with six homers and 20 RBI over that span. Injuries limited Turner's fantasy production for the majority of the season, but he is looking every bit of the top-tier third baseman we have become accustomed to down the stretch.
