Justin Turner is not in the Dodgers starting lineup on Friday due to tightness in his calf.
It isn't expected to be a major issue, and the Dodgers are considering him day-to-day. Chone Figgins will get the start at the hot corner on Friday and hit eighth against Chase Anderson and the Diamondbacks.

Justin Turner's two-run single in the sixth inning broke a 2-2 tie and pushed the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory against the White Sox on Monday.
Turner's weak hit was emblematic of a peck-peck-peck five-run sixth inning against Jose Quintana that benefited from two errors (all the runs were unearned). With the bases loaded in a tie game, Turner poked a ball into right center which barely got over the glove of a leaping Gordon Beckham. The 29-year-old utility man continues to impress as Juan Uribe's fill-in, going 19-for-54 (.352) with three homers and 10 RBI in his last 18 games. He's collected exactly two RBI in three straight games, and all three of those long flies have come in his last nine contests. NL-only owners ought to ride the wave until Uribe's return causes it to unceremoniously recede back into the body of water that houses it.

Justin Turner belted his third home run of the season in Sunday's loss to the Pirates.
Turner finished the night 2-for-3, delivering an RBI single off Edinson Volquez to get the Dodgers on the board in the second inning, and taking him deep in the fourth to provide the team's second run. He has been on a tear offensively over the past few weeks, hitting .360 (18-for-50) with three homers and eight RBI in his last 17 games.

Justin Turner went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
The home run was Turner's second of the year and second in his last three games. Turner also singled and scored in the sixth inning to back up Josh Beckett's no-hitter. The infielder, playing third base in Juan Uribe's stead, is hitting .239 for the year.

Justin Turner went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Mets.
Turner, a former Met, provided the Dodgers' only thunder in the lineup, homering off of Jon Niese in the seventh inning to knot the game up at 3-3. However, the Mets would score once in each of the seventh and eighth innings to take the win. The blast was Turner's first of the season and he now has a .225/.281/.313 slash line serving as a back-up infielder.

Justin Turner will start at second base and bat second on Opening Night Saturday against the Diamondbacks.
Turner has landed on his feet after the Mets cut him over the winter, beating out a group including $28 million man Alexander Guerrero, former shortstop Dee Gordon and veteran Chone Figgins to function as the Dodgers' starting second baseman in Game 1. Turner, who should be a useful piece in NL-only formats, was non-tendered in December after hitting .280/.319/.385 with a pair of homers and 16 RBI in 214 plate appearances last season.

Justin Turner went 2-for-3 and scored a pair of runs in Saturday's loss to the White Sox.
The 29-year-old infielder also drew a walk in the ballgame. He's off to a nice start this spring, hitting .333 (10-for-30), but will only be relevant in NL-only formats unless injury strikes in the Dodgers infield.
