The Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He has been sidelined since July 27 with an abdominal strain.

Gallo should see an uptick at-bats while Turner is sidelined.

Fri Jul 29 202221:46Justin Turner Unlikely To Play This Weekend
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.

Fri Jul 29 202218:16Justin Turner Back On The Bench Friday
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.

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 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.

Mon May 23 202218:12Justin Turner Getting A Breather On Monday
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.

Tue May 10 202222:04Justin Turner Collects Four Hits Tuesday
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.

Wed Apr 27 202212:37Justin Turner, Will Smith Resting Wednesday
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.

Wed Apr 20 202209:16Justin Turner Goes 0-For-3 In Tuesday's Loss
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.

Mon Apr 4 202209:14Justin Turner Hitting Just .154 This Spring
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.

Thu Oct 21 202118:31Justin Turner Replaced On NLCS Roster After Hamstring Injury
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.

Wed Sep 29 202119:11Justin Turner Is On The Bench Wednesday
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.

Tue Sep 14 202108:59Justin Turner Hits 25th Homer
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Turner gave the Dodgers some insurance with a blast off of Brandyn Sittinger in the bottom of the seventh inning to extend the Dodgers lead to 5-1. 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.
