Turner launched a pinch-hit, two-run home run versus the Rockies on Sunday.
The 30-year-old continues to rake in his part-time role, and now owns a 1.078 OPS on the season. Turner's chances of seeing consistent at-bats this season likely hinge on trade or injury, given the depth in the Dodgers infield.

Turner is starting at third base an hitting fifth Wednesday against the Brewers.
Turner is in a groove at the plate right now with three home runs in his last 12 at-bats, so it might be worth riding the hot hand in daily leagues. Once he cools down Juan Uribe should start getting back a bigger share of the workload at third base.

Turner got a rare start at third base Sunday against the Rockies and went 4-for-5 with an RBI and three doubles.
Turner had an excellent 2014 campaign in a reserve role. He missed out on a chance to start a couple of games at the beginning of the week due to a finger injury, but it's pretty apparent that he's healthy now.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that the team is "pretty confident" Turner (finger) is back to 100 percent, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.
Turner flied out in a pinch hit appearance Monday, two days after being spiked on a play at third base. X-rays were negative, and it doesn't sound like Turner is in danger of missing additional time.

Turner (finger) was able to field grounders Monday, Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles reports.
The Dodgers continue to regard Turner as day-to-day, but it doesn't sound likely that he'll be available off the bench for Monday's series opener against the Mariners. With Juan Uribe (hamstring) also out of the lineup, the Dodgers will turn to Alex Guerrero at third base.

Turner (finger) is unsure if he is available for Sunday.
Turner left Saturday's game after being spiked in the hand. Juan Uribe replaced him, and then left with a tight hamstring. Alex Guerrero is making the start Sunday. Turner could be available to return within the next few days.

Turner was diagnosed with left index finger stiffness and X-rays were negative.
He left Saturday's game after getting spiked on his left hand. Turner was replaced by Juan Uribe who then left almost immediately with a tight hamstring. With Turner and Uribe both ailing, Alex Guerrero (the Dodgers' third deployment at the hot corner Saturday) could be in line for a start or two, which is great for fantasy because he has the most fantasy upside of the trio, he just happens to be a shoddy defender. Turner is listed as day-to-day.
