Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) is unlikely to play in his team's weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. Turner has missed seven of the past eight games while trying to get over the strained abdominal muscle that he sustained over a week ago while taking swings in the on-deck circle. Turner is "out of the woods" regarding the injury, according to manager Dave Roberts, but the team doesn't want to push him back too soon. With Turner out, Max Muncy will continue to see most of the playing time at the hot corner.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This marks the seventh time in the Dodgers past eight games that Turner has missed due to an abdominal injury. Turner said that he is just playing it safe, so expect a return to the lineup this weekend. It is unfortunate timing for Turner and his fantasy managers, who will miss out on a game at hitter-friendly Coors Field at a time when Turner is hot at the dish, slashing .400/.485/.545 in July. Keep an eye out this weekend and get Turner back in your lineup if he returns.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) is back at third base and is hitting fifth in the starting lineup on Wednesday against Washington Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin. The 37-year-old veteran sat out the last five games with an abdominal injury, but he'll return on Wednesday in a great matchup against a struggling pitcher in Corbin. Turner has been hot in the month of July, too, going 21-for-52 (.404) with two home runs, 12 RBI and eight runs scored in 15 games played. Fantasy managers will be hoping he can pick up where he left off on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) will miss his fifth consecutive game on Tuesday as the team takes on right-hander Josiah Gray and the Washington Nationals. Jake Lamb will be getting another start at designated hitter for the game. Turner is currently dealing with tightness in his abdomen. He went through full baseball activities on Monday. The team stated late on Monday that Turner would likely return on Tuesday or Wednesday. Now that Tuesday is no longer in the cards, we'll see if the veteran can make his return for Wednesday's series finale.

Turner is hitting .256 with eight homers and 53 RBI on the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner single-handedly helped the team beat the division-rival San Diego Padres on Thursday night, going 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored in the 3-1 victory. It was Turner's first multi-homer game of the season, and he hit only .236/.320/.360 with the two home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 25 games in the month of July. Fantasy managers will be hoping that the 37-year-old veteran can build off Thursday's performance moving into July, as he's hitting just .227/.298/.375 on the season with six home runs, 41 RBI, 33 runs scored and one stolen base in 289 plate appearances to this point in the year.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is at designated hitter on Sunday vs. the New York Mets. Turner was switched to DH because he has a tight hamstring, per manager Dave Roberts. It's not thought to be a serious issue but the team is being cautious, according to beat writer Jack Harris. Eddy Alvarez is starting at third base and batting eighth against Trevor Williams.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is getting the day off on Monday as the team takes on right-hander Joan Adon and the Washington Nationals. Max Muncy is shifting over to cover third base and Edwin Rios is filling in as designated hitter. Turner has been showing some signs of life lately after a dreadful April that saw him post a .525 OPS. Over his last five games, he's compiled two home runs, a double and six RBI. Over 38 games on the year, the 37-year-old is slashing .207/.265/.364.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner had arguably the best game of his season so far, going 4-for-5 in the 11-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He homered, doubled, and had four RBI with a couple of runs. It was the type of game the veteran needed, and he's now slashing .200/.252/.300 with a home run, 11 runs, and 17 RBI over 27 games. It's been an uncharacteristically poor campaign, as he hasn't posted an OPS below .832 since 2013. Hopefully, this gets Turner going and he can once again provide batting average and power for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner and catcher Will Smith are not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Turner, who is hitting just .206 with no home runs and three extra-base hits in his first 63 at-bats, will get his first day off of the season. Max Muncy is at the hot corner and hitting cleanup, while Edwin Rios enters the lineup as the designated hitter and is batting seventh against Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen. Smith will get a breather with Austin Barnes doing the catching and hitting ninth in the series finale in Arizona. Smith has gone 11-for-43 with two home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs in his first 13 games of the season as the Dodgers primary backstop.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner wasn't able to get anything going at the plate in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the game. The 37-year-old is hitting .225/.311/.275 over 11 games this year. He has only two extra-base hits so far, both of which were doubles. The sample size is of course small, but there are a few alarming underlying stats for Turner in the early going. Across 30 batted balls, he has yet to record a single barrel. Additionally, his 87.2 mph average exit velocity ranks in the 30th percentile and his .316 xSLG ranks in the 19th percentile. The veteran is hitting in a prime spot in the heart of the Dodgers' lineup, but he'll need to start making better contact soon in order to pay dividends for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner has been cold at the dish so far this spring. Over 10 spring games and 27 plate appearances, he's slashing just .154/.185/.308 with two extra-base hits (a home run and a double). The 37-year-old is coming off yet another productive year. Over 151 games in 2021, he slashed .278/.361/.471 with 27 home runs, 87 RBI and 87 runs. He had a career-high max exit velocity of 109.8 mph. RotoBaller ranks Turner just outside the top-100 as the 11th overall third baseman. He's a dependable option to target at the hot corner after all the elite third basemen are off the board.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring) has been replaced on the National League Championship Series roster by infielder Andy Burns after the veteran suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain in the Game 4 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Burns last appeared in a big league game on June 22 and appeared in nine games for the Dodgers in mid-June, collecting three hits and three walks. Like Turner, Burns hits right-handed, and third base was his primary position in the minors. The 31-year-old hit .237/.374/.425 with seven home runs in 58 games over two minor league levels this season. With Turner out for Game 5 on Thursday, Chris Taylor is starting at the hot corner and batting seventh against Braves left-hander Max Fried.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Justin Turner isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres and left-hander Ryan Weathers. Turner is enjoying another strong season in 2021, both for the Dodgers and fantasy managers. In 596 plate appearances, the veteran is hitting .274 with a .359 on-base percentage, 25 home runs, and two stolen bases. Instead, it'll be Chris Taylor starting at third base on Wednesday. Taylor is likely rostered in most leagues, but if you're looking for a streaming option from the Dodgers lineup, Gavin Lux is someone to consider in deeper leagues. The 23-year-old is hitting .400 with a .491 on-base percentage in his last 53 plate appearances. Lux is batting eighth against Weathers and the Padres.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The veteran is only hitting .208 over his past seven games, but he has hit four homers with nine RBI during that span. Turner should continue to be productive down the stretch for managers and is now hitting .275 with 25 home runs and 80 RBI.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran is batting .280 with a .369 on-base percentage, 23 home runs, and two stolen bases in 528 plate appearances this season. Max Muncy will move over to third base with Albert Pujols stepping in at first base and hitting seventh against Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help at first base as Pujols is batting just .178 with a .236 on-base percentage and four home runs in 140 plate appearances against right-handed pitchers this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner returned to the starting lineup on Sunday and went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run.

The aging veteran has shown no signs of slowing down this season and is now hitting .290 with 21 home runs and 68 RBI. Managers should continue to roll with Turner in their lineups.

Turner suffered a left groin injury on Sunday and has not played since, but manager Dave Roberts said earlier in the week that he doesn't believe Turner will need a trip to the injured list. The Dodgers have every reason to remain cautious with Turner and he will once again be replaced in the lineup by outfielder Billy McKinney. McKinney will bat eighth versus Taijuan Walker. McKinney has struggled offensively this season and is a dart throw in DFS on Saturday.
