Turner (groin) will start at third base and bat third Sunday against the Brewers, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making an appearance as a pinch hitter in Saturday's 4-2 loss, Turner indicated he would rejoin the lineup for the series finale. True to his word, he'll be back at the hot corner and join Manny Machado on the left side of the infield for the first time since the latter's acquisition. Turner could be rested once or twice a week with Machado capable of moving over to the hot corner as needed, but the 33-year-old should otherwise settle back into an everyday role if he comes out of Sunday's start without issue.

Turner (groin) remained out of the starting lineup Saturday, but he went 0-for-1 as a pinch-hitter in a loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
While Turner was unable to suit up Saturday, his pinch-hit appearance bodes well for his prospects to return to the starting nine in Sunday's series-finale against the Brewers. The 33-year-old will likely cede a handful of starts to the newly-acquired Manny Machado, but he should still see the bulk of starts at the hot corner once he fully heals from a minor groin injury.

Turner (groin) is not starting Saturday against the Brewers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner hasn't played since July 12 after suffering a groin strain. He was thought to have a good chance to return Saturday but evidently wasn't cleared after a workout. Max Muncy will start at third base in his place.

Turner (groin) will complete a workout before determining his status for Saturday's matchup against the Brewers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner will be held out of Friday's series opener, although manager Dave Roberts is optimistic that Turner will find a way to play Saturday. More updates on his status should emerge following his workout.

Turner (groin) is not in the lineup against Milwaukee on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner suffered a groin injury during last Thursday's game against the Padres and subsequently sat out the final three contests before the All-Star break. He will remain on the bench for the time being while Max Muncy gets a start at third base in his absence. Consider him day-to-day ahead of Saturday's affair.

Turner (groin) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the Dodgers will give Turner his third off day in a row while he tends to the left groin strain. The impending All-Star break will provide some extra time for Turner to heal up and stave off a trip to the disabled list, but the third baseman will have to prove he can run without any complications before the Dodgers clear him to return to the lineup. Per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Turner is running at about 70 percent speed and may only be available in a pinch-hitting role for the series finale.

Turner (groin) is unlikely to play Saturday or Sunday but is not expected to need a trip to the disabled list, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner tweaked his adductor Wednesday and hasn't started since, but the Dodgers don't believe the injury to be a serious one. They'll want to give him as much rest as possible but expect him to be ready to go right after the break.

Turner (groin/hamstring) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Turner tweaked his adductor Wednesday and has been out of the lineup for the next three games (though he did appear off the bench Thursday). He's considered day-to-day, but with just one day remaining before the All-Star break it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out again Sunday in order to get a full eight days' worth of rest. Max Muncy will be the Dodgers' third baseman in his absence.

Turner (groin/hamstring) will be considered day-to-day moving forward, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was held out of Friday's starting lineup against the Angels after tweaking a muscle Wednesday, although he'll be able to hit off the bench if needed. The Dodgers are likely being cautious with their star third baseman, especially since the All-Star break is right around the corner. Turner is set to receive medical treatment for the issue, and he'll likely be reevaluated prior to Saturday's tilt.

Turner (groin/hamstring) felt his left adductor tighten up in his lone plate appearance Thursday, and he will be forced to miss Friday's contest against the Angels, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts said that Turner tweaked the muscle Wednesday -- which could explain his absence from the starting lineup Thursday -- and the injury flared up again while running out a groundout in a pinch-hit appearance against the Padres. The severity of the injury is unclear at the moment, but it will cost the 33-year-old at least one more game. The Dodgers may play it safe with Turner and hold him out for the remaining three games leading up to the All-Star break.
