Turner (thumb) took swings in the batting cage Sunday and will rejoin the starting lineup Monday against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was held out of the lineup Sunday with his right thumb contusion, but manager Dave Roberts confirmed that the third baseman would be ready to suit back up Tuesday. He should be deployed in fantasy lineups with confidence upon his return.

Turner (thumb) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Turner suffered a right thumb contusion during Thursday's game against the Phillies. The Dodgers will continue to be cautious with their third baseman and will withhold him from the lineup for the third consecutive day. He'll remain a day-to-day case, with Logan Forsythe drawing the start at third base Sunday.

Turner (thumb) is not in the lineup Saturday for the second straight day, according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was held out Friday after suffering a bruised thumb the day before, and with the Dodgers needing only a couple wins to lock up home field advantage in the postseason, it's likely he will not play Saturday either. Logan Forsythe will make another start at third base in Turner's place.

Turner (thumb) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
A Mark Leiter pitch hit Turner on the thumb during his first at-bat Thursday, and Turner was eventually forced to leave the game. Fortunately, X-rays were negative, so it seems Turner should be able to return relatively quickly, although his status for the rest of the weekend is up in the air. Logan Forsythe will take over at third base in the meantime.

X-rays on Turner's right thumb came back negative, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a big sigh of relief for Turner and the Dodgers, as the third baseman seems to have avoided a potentially more serious injury after getting hit by a pitch on his right thumb in the first inning Thursday. While he was initially able to stay in the game after being checked on by trainers, the Dodgers removed him in the following inning and sent him for tests to make sure he wasn't dealing with anything more than a bruise. Everything checked out, which is good news, but his status for the Dodgers' weekend series against the Giants remains up in the air. With the Dodgers close to clinching home-field advantage in the playoffs -- despite their recent struggles and the Nationals' surge -- they may not be in a rush if Turner isn't 100 percent. Logan Forsythe would likely see some starts at third base in Turner is forced to miss any time.

Turner was removed from Thursday's game against the Phillies after getting hit by a pitch on his right thumb, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was plunked in the top of the first inning Thursday, and while he was initially able to stay in the contest after getting checked out by trainers, he was ultimately replaced by Austin Barnes prior to the second inning. The severity of the injury is still unclear, but more should be known once he is reevaluated following the conclusion of Thursday's game.

Turner was hit by a pitch in the chest and right hand, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. However, he's staying in the game after being checked on by trainers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears Turner has dodged an immediate catastrophe but will be monitored as the game goes along. Stay tuned for updates later today.

Turner went 1-for-4 with his 21st home run of the season in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Turner followed up Chris Taylor's inside-the-park homer with a more-traditional variation of the long ball in the first inning. The veteran third baseman is unlikely to match last year's high water mark of 27 homers, but his .539 slugging percentage is actually 46 points higher than his previous career best.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a solo homer Friday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Turner blasted his 20th homer of the season to give the Dodgers a first-inning lead they'd never relinquish. He's hit safely in all but two games this month, and he's been an elite fantasy option over the course of the season, as evidenced by his .325/.416/.539 slash line.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers have fallen into a late-season skid, but no one is pointing fingers at Turner and his .324/.390/.622 slash line over his last 10 contests. The 32-year-old has been one of the most-consistent third base options this season with a .328 batting average, 19 homers, 64 RBI and 65 runs in 113 games.
