EDGE Analysis
Turner will get the day off after appearing in 14 straight games, going 12-for-46 (.261) with a homer and five RBI over that span. Logan Forsythe will slide over to third base in his stead, opening up a spot for Chase Utley to start at the keystone.

Turner came off the bench in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres, delivering a two-run home run in an eventual 6-5 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was able to make a fantasy impact despite not being in the starting lineup, taking San Diego's closer Brad Hand deep in the top of the ninth to tie the game at five apiece. It was all for not, as the Friars would come back to walk it off in the bottom of the inning. Turner started the night cap, going 1-for-3 with an RBI double. The 32-year-old has hit safely in seven consecutive contests and appears to be breaking out of his brief late-August slump.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's victory over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers' third baseman had gone through a bit of a hitting slump -- by his standards -- in August (.245 in 26 games), bringing his batting average "down" to .332 on the year. Friday's three-hit performance extended a modest five-game hitting streak, giving Turner a shot to make a late push for the National League batting title. He currently trails Charlie Blackmon by eight points with 29 games remaining in the regular season.

Turner is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's performance Tuesday was out of character, as he went 0-for-5 at the plate. He'll be withheld from the lineup Wednesday for the first time since Aug. 2 while Logan Forsythe fills in at the hot corner and Chase Utley heads to second base.

Turner led the charge for the Dodgers' offense on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in a 6-4 win over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old went deep twice in the same game for the second time this week, bringing his season total up to 17. After a slow start to the season in terms of power, it appeared that Turner wouldn't be able to match the career-high of 27 homers he set last year, but a strong second half has resurrected fantasy owners' hopes of a repeat in that department. His impressive .346/.436/.573 triple slash is proving that 2016's breakout was no fluke.

Turner launched a pair of solo homers in four at-bats Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
He's now left the yard in three straight games, a span in which Turner has gone 6-for-13 with four long balls, a double, five RBI and seven runs -- and a couple steals, too. That's a heck of an impressive run from a guy who was already easily pacing the National League in batting average. Turner's now pushed his OPS up to a sizzling 1.009, too -- only Bryce Harper, Paul Goldschmidt and Joey Votto are ahead of him in that category, and not by all that much.

Turner hit his 13th home run of the season in Sunday's 8-0 road win over the Mets. It was his second homer in as many games.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman had a great night in Queens, going 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI, two stolen bases -- which doubled his season total -- and three runs scored. Turner is now hitting an unbelievable .349 through 298 at-bats this year as he continues his push for the National League batting title. He currently holds a 14-point lead over the Nationals' Daniel Murphy (.335) for the NL lead, and is second in baseball behind Jose Altuve of the Astros (.364).

Turner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Braves, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's batting average has dropped 12 points since his last off day on July 22, so he'll get another night off Wednesday. Logan Forsythe will slide over to cover the hot corner in his stead, allowing Chase Utley to pick up a start at the keystone to round out the lineup.

Turner (illness) is back in the lineup Sunday against the Braves, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner is dealing with a bout of bronchitis, but declared himself ready to play prior to Sunday's contest. He's apparently one of several Dodgers that is a bit under the weather at the moment, but will return to the lineup nonetheless to snap a one-game absence.
