Turner is heading to extended spring training to continue rehabbing his broken wrist and resume baseball activities, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Several important tests will follow, but this report seems to indicate Turner is on schedule. The important run producer is expected to resurface with the major-league club sometime in May.

Turner (wrist) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner is expected to miss the first 5-to-8 weeks of the season after suffering a broken wrist in a Cactus League contest earlier in March. A more concrete timetable should emerge once he resumes baseball activities. Meanwhile, Logan Forsythe is expected to hold down the hot corner until Turner is healthy, leaving Chase Utley, Enrique Hernandez and Austin Barnes to cover second base.

Turner said Tuesday that he will not need surgery on his broken left wrist, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is probably the best-case scenario for Turner, who was diagnosed with a broken wrist after being hit by a pitch in Monday's Cactus League contest. The third baseman is now expected to wear a brace on his wrist for the next couple of days before beginning a range of motion exercises. He's still expected to open the season on the disabled list, but his absence may be on the shorter side of his roughly estimated 6-to-9 week timetable. In the meantime, Logan Forsythe is expected to shift over to third base with Turner sidelined, leaving Chase Utley, Enrique Hernandez, Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor to cover second base.

X-rays confirmed that Turner suffered a broken left wrist after being hit by a pitch Monday against Oakland, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner exited Monday's game after being hit by a pitch, and after being taken for x-rays, it was confirmed that he broke his wrist. This is not what the Dodgers were hoping for with Opening Day approaching, as their star third baseman will likely begin the season on the disabled list. The timetable for his return is about six-to-nine weeks, meaning he would be eligible to return sometime in May.

Turner left Monday's contest against Oakland after being hit by a pitch on the left hand, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner went down in pain after getting drilled on the hand and promptly left the game. The extent of his injury is unclear at this time, but more news should be released after further examination by the training staff.

Turner went 2-for-3 with his second home run of spring training in Saturday's victory over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The slugging third baseman has picked up where he left off after what was seemingly a never-ending hot streak during the 2017 campaign. Despite being 33 years old, Turner is showing no signs of slowing down and appears to still be in his prime as a hitter. He will spend the majority of the season in heart of a young and potent Dodger lineup, giving him one of the higher floors amongst the top-tier third basemen in fantasy.

Turner (undisclosed) is starting at third base and batting second for Game 1 of the World Series against the Astros on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Turner is in the lineup for Game 1 despite being held out of team workouts over the past two days. He'll look to continue his remarkable postseason, as he's hitting an impressive .387/.500/.677 with three homers, 12 RBI and a 5:6 K:BB in 31 at-bats so far.

General manager Farhan Zaidi said Turner -- who was held out of Sunday's practice -- is a little "banged up" after the NLCS but expects to be ready for Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zaidi downplayed Turner's absence from Sunday's workout, equating it to a maintenance game the third baseman would take during the regular season to rest his chronically inflamed knees. He was seen doing agility drills in the outfield Monday, and assuming everything checks out fine, he should be good to go for Game 1. Turner has started all eight of the Dodgers' playoff games so far, hitting a ridiculous .387/.500/.677 with three homers, 12 RBI, one stolen base and a 5:6 K:BB in 31 at-bats.

Turner (finger) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Turner (finger) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was expected to rejoin the Dodgers' lineup for Monday's series opener, but it appears his injured thumb is still bothering him enough to keep him sidelined for a fourth game. He's scheduled to take batting practice Monday to test his thumb, so he'll hopefully have a clearer return date afterwards. While Turner would like to get some games in before the regular season ends, he said he doesn't want to rush back before the NLDS. Logan Forsythe will continue to man third base in his absence.
