Turner (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with High-A Rancho Cucamonga.
EDGE Analysis
Reports had surfaced stating that Turner could start an assignment later in the week, but it seems that he's feeling better than initially expected. No word has come forth as to how long he'll remain with the Quakes, but if all goes well, he could be back with the Dodgers later in the week.

Turner (hamstring) will likely begin a rehab assignment later this week with the possibility of being activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to the Dodgers' upcoming road trip beginning June 13, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has been sidelined with a hamstring strain since May 19 but has progressed enough in his rehab to soon begin a minor-league rehab assignment. If all goes well during his rehab games, it's possible that the 32-year-old will be ready to rejoin the Dodgers their six-game road trip beginning on June 13 in Cleveland. Additional updates on his condition should become available over the coming days. Logan Forsythe will continue to hold down the third base position in his absence.

Turner (hamstring) ran the bases at Miller Park on Friday, which was the last hurdle for him before heading out on a rehab assignment, gurnick reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is unlikely to return to the big-league lineup until sometime next week, but he could begin a rehab assignment as early as Saturday. Turner was hitting .379/.453/.493 with one home run and two steals in 162 plate appearances prior to suffering the injury.

Turner (hamstring) is not expected to return during the Dodgers' current road trip, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team was hoping Turner would be ready to re-enter the lineup after a brief rehab assignment, but considering he has yet to embark on said assignment, it's unlikely that he'll be ready to go until Monday at the earliest. He was seen taking batting practice on Wednesday, however, so it doesn't seem like he's encountered any setbacks in his recovery at this point.

Manager Dave Roberts said Turner (hamstring) will need a short rehab assignment, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While no date has been set for his rehab assignment or his return to the big club, the Dodgers are hopeful he'll be able to rejoin the team before the end of next week's road trip, which ends June 4 against the Brewers. A clearer timetable should become available once his rehab game is scheduled.

Turner (hamstring) could potentially return from the disabled list in the minimum 10 days, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner is dealing with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, the most mild form of the injury. He was expected to need two weeks initially, but he has been able to take grounders on the field and appears to be progressing better than expected. Turner is eligible to return May 29. Even if he needs an extra couple days, a return sometime early next week seems likely at this point.

Turner (hamstring) took grounders Thursday for the first time since landing on the disabled list, J.P. Hoonstra of the Southern California News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a big milestone in Turner's recovery, but there are a few hurdles he'll need to clear before rejoining the Dodgers. Given the length of his absence, a rehab assignment could be in order for Turner as he makes his way back from a Grade 1 hamstring strain. The Dodgers will continue to use a platoon of Logan Forsythe, Enrique Hernandez, and Chris Taylor at third base while Turner is on the shelf.

Turner has a Grade 1 hamstring strain and is hopeful that he can return in a couple weeks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner underwent an MRI that thankfully didn't reveal major damage. Until Turner returns in early June, expect Logan Forsythe, who is expected to return to the Dodgers from an injured toe early next week week, to get the majority of the third base at-bats in Turner's absence.

Turner (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day DL on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The full extent of the injury remains uncertain as the Dodgers have not disclosed the results of Turner's MRI, but Turner did indeed strain his right hamstring while rounding third base Thursday night. Brett Eibner was recalled in a corresponding move. Logan Forsythe (toe), Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor will be the top candidates for playing time at third base in Turner's absence.
