Returns to lineup Turner (hamstring) is starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Turner has been limited by a left hamstring injury recently, and he was scratched from Tuesday's lineup as a result. However, he'll return to the starting lineup Wednesday, batting third and playing third base.

Eyeing Wednesday return Turner (hamstring) hopes to return to the lineup Wednesday against Oakland, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts said the team will see how Turner's hamstring responds Wednesday before making a decision on the lineup. He missed 14 games with a strained left hamstring and was then scratched Tuesday with a cramp in the same hamstring. While making Turner the full-time designated hitter could be one route to go during this final week, Roberts said the goal is for him to be able to play the field, at least on a part-time basis.

Out with hamstring discomfort Turner was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the A's with left hamstring discomfort, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Turner returned from the injured list last week from the left hamstring strain and appears to have aggravated the injury. The 35-year-old served as the designated hitter in all of his five starts since being activated and was scheduled to play third base Tuesday before the late scratch. The veteran infielder should be considered day-to-day until the team specifies the severity of the aggravation.

Late scratch Tuesday Turner was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the A's, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact The 35-year-old was scheduled to play the field at third base for the first time since coming off the injured list last week, but he's been removed from the lineup a couple hours before first pitch. The team has yet to provide an official reason, but the obvious worry is that Turner aggravated the hamstring strain he just returned from. Edwin Rios takes over at the hot corner Tuesday for the Dodgers.

Expected to return to field Tuesday Turner will likely play third base Tuesday for the first time since returning from the injured list, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Turner will start at third base in Tuesday's game against Oakland. The veteran has served as the designated hitter during each of his five starts since returning from the injured list Sept. 15, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with three walks over that span.

Sitting Friday Turner is not in the lineup Friday against the Rockies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Turner started three straight games as the designated hitter after returning from the injured list Tuesday. A.J. Pollock (hamstring) fills that role Friday, with Edwin Rios starting at third base.

Big impact in return Turner (hamstring) went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Padres.
Impact Turner's first game back from an injured-list stint was a big success. He plated Mookie Betts with an RBI single in the first inning. Turner got on base with another single in the third and came around to score on a Cody Bellinger single. The 35-year-old Turner served as the designated hitter Tuesday, but he should take some playing time from Edwin Rios at third base going forward. Turner has two homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 33 games this season.

Shifts to 10-day IL Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.
Impact Turner underwent a pre-game workout Tuesday to determine whether a trip to the injured list would be necessary, and he apparently needs more than a couple days before returning to full health. The 35-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but he'll be eligible to be activated Sept. 8. Edwin Rios (hamstring) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move and will start at third base, though Enrique Hernandez, Chris Taylor and Max Muncy could all see time there during Turner's absence.

Impact The 35-year-old hasn't seen game action since exiting Friday's contest with the hamstring issue. Regardless of the pre-game workout, Turner won't play in Tuesday's game and also seems unlikely to be available Wednesday, even if he avoids the injured list.
