Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Turner (illness) to play Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner is dealing with an upper respiratory issue, but he will be available off the bench Saturday and it sounds like he should be fine for the series finale. Confirmation as to Turner's status against lefty Sean Newcomb should come no later than the early afternoon with the game set for a 4:10 ET start.

Turner is under the weather but will be available off the bench Saturday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Logan Forsythe is penciled in at third base with Turner feeling less than 100 percent, but Turner's availability off the bench offers hope that he could return for Sunday's matchup against lefty Sean Newcomb. Turner is batting a ridiculous .443/.523/.841 against left-handed pitching this season.

Turner is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday's absence marks Turner's first since the All-Star break. He has managed 10 homers since his return from the DL on June 9 and continues to hit and get on base at an excellent clip, but the first-place Dodgers can afford to rest Turner here and there as they look to ensure his availability for the postseason.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI during Sunday's win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Turner has an impressive 10 homers, 22 RBI and 24 runs through 29 games since returning from the disabled list June 9. He's sporting an elite .374/.469/.584 slash line for the season, and Turner projects to remain a high-end fantasy asset hitting in the heart of the dominant Los Angeles lineup.

Turner hit two home runs Sunday, powering his team to a 5-2 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Turner played co-hero with Clayton Kershaw in this one, as Kershaw backed up Turner's pair of bombs with a 13-strikeout, complete-game victory. The third baseman had a whale of a first half, finishing with a ridiculous .377 average and 1.056 OPS over 228 at-bats. That said, despite Turner's amazing contact numbers, he's provided just 37 RBI and 10 homers, which has prevented him from joining the truly elite fantasy producers.

Turner is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Logan Forsythe will shift over to third base, opening the door for Chase Utley at the keystone. Turner, a first-time All-Star this year, has been red hot since his return from the DL in early June, collecting 31 hits and seven homers in his last 81 at-bats. However, the Dodgers have been sitting him once a week or so, and that figures to continue as they look to preserve his health for the stretch run.

Turner went 2-for-4 with his eighth home run and a pair of RBI in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Turner has now homered seven times in 21 games since returning from the disabled list June 9 after recording just one through his first 39 contests. Even with this recent power binge, the career-high mark of 27 round-trippers he set last season seems out of reach, but he is no longer just an empty batting average.

Turner went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

A trip to the disabled list couldn't even cool off Turner's bat, as he is batting .415 (27-for-65) since returning June 9, maintaining his NL-best .390 batting average on the season. The veteran third baseman has contributed five homers over that span, supplying the power that was missing prior to his layoff.

Turner is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears to be a routine day off for Turner, who has started five straight games for the Dodgers. Logan Forysthe will slide over to the hot corner in his absence, while Chase Utley draws the start at second base.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The homer, a third-inning shot off Steven Matz, was Turner's third off a southpaw this season. He has been punishing left-handed pitching this season after struggling against lefties to the tune of a .209/.303/.337 line last year. Turner was said to be dealing with "heavy legs" Wednesday, but it's not an issue which is expected to require significant maintenance.
