Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
With his eighth-inning homer off Alex Colome, Turner extended his hitting streak to 12 games -- he's batting .404/.492/.731 in August. Turner also chipped in a rare stolen base, his second of the season and first since June 26. Now seemingly back to full health, Turner appears primed for a big final six weeks.

Turner went 3-for-4 with three doubles and a strikeout in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Turner notched three of the club's five hits on the day and scored the only run, coming around on a Manny Machado single in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old is working on an eight-game hitting streak -- six of which have been multi-hit efforts -- and is slashing a terrific .436/.511/.795 in 39 at-bats since the calendar flipped to August.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale at Colorado, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has a modest six-game hit streak (.417/.481/.583) but will get a day off Sunday. Manny Machado shifts to third base with Chris Taylor at shortstop for the Dodgers.

Turner is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers are just giving Turner a pre-planned rest after the third baseman played three consecutive games upon returning from the 10-day disabled list Thursday. Turner is slated to return to the lineup for the Dodgers' next game Tuesday in Oakland, serving in his usual role in the field or as the club's designated hitter.

Turner (groin) was activated from the 10-day disabled list and will man third base and bat third against Milwaukee on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner will immediately return to action after spending the minimum 10 days on the DL with a right groin strain. Across 50 games this year, he's hit just .259/.354/.398 with five home runs and 20 RBI, and will likely cede some starts to Max Muncy and Manny Machado at the hot corner as the dog days of August begin.

Turner (groin) is expected to return from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner landed on the disabled list July 23 with a right groin strain, but he'll come off the shelf after missing the minimum. He figures to resume his role as the everyday third baseman, even with the additions of Manny Machado and Brian Dozier.

Manager Dave Roberts said that Turner (groin) could return from the disabled list as soon as he is eligible Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts added that Turner's activation could come Friday or Saturday, but the projected return window is a positive sign for his fantasy owners. The veteran third baseman's production has been hampered by multiple injuries and corresponding trips to the DL, but he was showing signs of life at the plate (.304/.418/.482) over 15 starts before injuring his groin July 12. The Dodgers' recent acquisitions of Manny Machado and Brian Dozier will allow the club to give Turner some extra rest down the stretch, but he figures to see the lion's share of starts at the hot corner once he returns to full health.

Turner was placed on the disabled list with a right groin strain Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner will be eligible to return Aug. 2. The newly-acquired Manny Machado will slide over to third base to cover for him until then. Alex Verdugo was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Turner (groin) will likely need a trip to the disabled list after re-injuring his groin Sunday against the Brewers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner missed Saturday's game with the same issue, so it appears he still isn't quite over the right groin injury. Manager Dave Roberts stated there's a growing possibility he'll be moved to the disabled list, per Vassegh. Turner will likely be reevaluated prior to Monday's series opener against Philadelphia.

Turner exited Sunday's game in the third inning due to an adductor muscle issue, Pedro Moura of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner had been making his return from a six-game absence Sunday but only lasted two at-bats before he was pulled from the contest. The team hasn't disclosed the exact issue, but it's in the same region as the groin injury that kept him on the shelf. Consider Turner day-to-day as the Dodgers continue their road trip in Philadelphia on Monday. He was 1-for-2 before exiting, and replaced by Max Muncy at third base.
