Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner has found great success at the plate this season. He has logged a base hit in all eight of the Dodgers' games this season, going 12-for-34 with seven RBI during that span. The 28-year-old has been especially dominant during the team's current series against the Reds. Against Cincinnati, Turner is 7-for-13 with a triple, home run, and four RBI. He has posted a 72nd-percentile xBA, 98th percentile sprint speed, and done a good job spraying the ball to the opposite field. He is the No. 1 player in fantasy baseball right now and there's no indication that he'll slow down anytime soon.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner said that there has been nothing new in contract-extension talks between him and the team. Turner is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2022 season, but he said at the start of spring that he'd be open to signing a long-term contract to remain in LA. The 28-year-old won the National League batting title last year with a .328 average, and if he reaches the open market next winter, he could be one of the most coveted players in free agency. Turner also set career-highs in home runs (28) and RBI (77) while finishing fifth in the National League MVP voting. He has hit .303 and led the majors twice in hits in his seven-year career, and he has 203 career steals as an elite fantasy asset. With or without an extension, Turner is RotoBaller's top-ranked player in fantasy.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $21 million deal. Turner was acquired from the Washington Nationals last year and played second base upon his arrival to LA. But now that Corey Seager is with the Texas Rangers, Turner will be the Dodgers everyday shortstop. With Fernando Tatis Jr. out for three months with a fractured wrist, Turner has become the obvious choice at No. 1 overall in fantasy drafts. An All-Star in 2021, the 28-year-old hit .328/.375/.536 with a .911 OPS, 28 home runs, 77 RBI, 107 runs scored and a league-high stolen bases in 646 plate appearances with the Nationals and Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will make it a priority to sign shortstop Trea Turner to a contract extension, in the opinion of The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Turner is under contract for the 2022 season, but after that he'll become a free agent. The 28-year-old led all position players in Wins Above Replacement (6.9) last year and won his first batting title by hitting .328. Turner was also two home runs shy of a 30-30 season. With Corey Seager now playing for the Texas Rangers, Ardaya thinks it's even more imperative that the Dodgers lock Turner up for the long term. Turner is going as high as pick No. 1 in fantasy drafts this year due to his consistency in all five traditional categories, and adding second base eligibility only helps his cause.

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Trea Turner has been red hot at the plate lately. After going 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored on Wednesday, he extended his hitting streak to 15 games. He hit three home runs this past weekend and he had recorded three straight multi-hit efforts prior to Wednesday's game. The 28-year-old is slashing .333/.389/.559 over the month of September as a whole.

Turner is scoring runs at a much higher rate with the Dodgers as he has 27 runs over 40 games, compared to 66 runs over 96 games with the Nationals, but he may still be getting adjusted to his new surroundings a bit.

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Trea Turner went 3-for-4 with a walk, four runs and one stolen base in Sunday's victory versus the New York Mets. Turner had been struggling with his new club until yesterday, but he showed everything he could do and how dangerous of a player that he is when he is going right. Turner has been playing second base for the Dodgers and that only increases his already high value. The former Washington National is hitting .265 with 10 runs, three RBI and two stolen bases in nine games with the Dodgers. For the season, Turner is hitting .318 with 18 home runs, 52 RBI and 23 stolen bases. Turner is settling in as a Dodger and managers should expect him to help across the board in the one of the best lineups moving forward.

Making his second start for the club, the 28-year-old went 1-for-4 during the 8-2 win, smacking a double to left field during his first plate appearance and collecting two runs in total. It appears as if the acquisition of Turner from the Washington Nationals has worked out well so far. He should continue to be a reliable fantasy producer, especially if he consistently bats at the top of the order moving ahead.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Trea Turner will bat leadoff against the Angels on Saturday night. The 28-year-old will enter the starting lineup with his new team for the first time and make the move over to second base, as expected. Turner has been out of commission since the end of July after testing positive for COVID-19, so fantasy managers have been eagerly awaiting his return. Managers should continue to view him as a must-start option, obviously.

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Trea Turner (COVID-19) has been activated from the COVID-19 injured list and is available off the bench on Friday night, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com. Turner was acquired by the Dodgers at the trade deadline, but has been out of action after testing positive for COVID-19 at the end of July. Over 96 games this season, Turner is slashing .322/.369/.521 with 18 home runs, 21 steals, 49 RBI and 66 runs scored. He should see a potential boost in value with the Dodgers, and reports earlier in the day on Friday say he will be taking over primarily at second base. He'll likely make his first start on Saturday, and managers should slot him back into their lineups.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Trea Turner (illness) could be available for Friday's matchup against the Angels. Turner, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 a few weeks ago, will be in uniform as a bench option if cleared for his debut. The 28-year-old has been fantastic this season, batting .322, with 125 hits, 66 runs, 49 RBI, 21 stolen bases, and 18 home runs, so fantasy managers should be ready to activate him and ready to roll throughout the weekend.

Turner could be activated on Friday, manager Dave Roberts said he won't start until Saturday. Turner has been having a great season and is hitting .322 with 18 home runs, 49 RBI and 21 stolen bases. Turner's move to the Dodgers will not only place him in a much better lineup around him, but he will also be more versatile for managers with his move to second base.

Javier Báez joining the Mets, Craig Kimbrel crossing town to the White Sox, José Berríos moving north of the border. Now this truly was an All-Star trade deadline day. After a run-up that saw the likes of Nelson Cruz, Anthony Rizzo, Joey Gallo and Adam Frazier swapped, even more big names changed teams during a whirlwind Friday. From contenders boosting their roster to the also-ran Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals gutting theirs, this was a monster day for moves. “They all feel busy, but today was nonstop,” said Cleveland president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti, who made three trades. “We executed a number of trades but there were probably at least another dozen other ones that we contemplated seriously at different points in time and exchanged different ideas,” he said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kris Bryant was the face of the Chicago Cubs for a long time. His new bosses in San Francisco were thrilled that joining the Giants meant so much to him, despite the emotions of leaving the only major league team he's ever known. Bryant grew up in Las Vegas and loved to watch Giants slugger Barry Bonds — and now the versatile star will get a chance to play not only in the home run king's former spot in left field, but all over the diamond. The first-place Giants made a big splash just before the trade deadline Friday by acquiring Bryant from the Cubs for two minor leaguers. “Could not be more excited to be a Giant,” president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said. “I’ve had a number of phone calls after trades with players. Never spoken to a player more excited to be coming to a new organization.” The 29-year-old Bryant, whose NL MVP season of 2016 helped the Cubs win their first World Series title in 108 years, got word while wearing his Chicago uniform and was...

A look at what’s happening around the majors Saturday: ___ EIGHT IS ENOUGH Joey Votto has homered in seven straight games and the Cincinnati Reds star can match a major league record by going deep against the New York Mets. Votto connected for a solo shot to center field off Mets reliever Drew Smith during Cincinnati's 6-2 victory Friday night at Citi Field. The six-time All-Star and 2010 NL MVP became the eighth player to homer in at least seven straight games and first since Kendrys Morales did it for the Toronto Blue Jays in August 2018. Dale Long (1956), Don Mattingly (1987) and Ken Griffey Jr. (1993) are the only players to go deep in eight consecutive games. Votto has nine homers and 15 RBIs during his streak, which began last Saturday and includes just one hit that wasn’t a home run — an infield single against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. ___ REVISED ROSTERS Plenty of big-name players are in different uniforms this weekend after a whirlwind of activity before MLB's trade deadline...
