Dodgers set NL homer mark for month at 57, beat Rangers 7-2
Cody Bellinger’s two-run homer gave Los Angeles the National League record for long balls in a month at 57, and the Dodgers beat the Texas Rangers 7-2AUGUST 30, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
May DH on Tuesday Manager Dave Roberts said the "best-case scenario" is to have Turner (hamstring) serve as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact The veteran third baseman hasn't seen game action since exiting Friday's game against the Rangers with a hamstring injury. Given Roberts' description, it wouldn't be surprising to see the team play it safe and hold Turner out of the lineup again Tuesday if he isn't 100 percent.

Won't start Sunday Turner (hamstring) won't start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact Turner's injury was initially described as a cramp, but manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he's dealing with a low-grade strain. He'll sit for a second straight game Sunday and be evaluated for Tuesday's contest. Chris Taylor or Max Muncy could fill in at third base.

Dealing with hamstring injury Turner left Friday's game against the Rangers with a hamstring injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts said after the game that Turner was dealing with a hamstring issue, but he said that the issue was likely a cramp rather than a strain. Turner won't play Saturday, but the team will reassess his status afterward.

Exits with apparent injury Turner exited Friday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Dominic Smith hits key homer as Mets beat Yankees 6-4
AUGUST 28, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Four-hit performance Turner went 4-for-6 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's loss against the Giants.
Impact Turner took advantage of Monday's day off to rest his sore hamstring, and he made quite an impact on offense with his first four-hit performance of the season. The slugging third baseman has hit safely in 15 of the Dodgers' last 17 games and his consistency at the plate has been nothing short of spectacular, as he's slashing .339/.431/.484 in that 17-game stretch.

Back in action Tuesday Turner (hamstring) is starting at third base and batting third Tuesday at San Francisco, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Impact The 35-year-old sat out Sunday's contest with a sore hamstring after being hit by a pitch a day prior, but he's good to go coming out of Monday's scheduled off day. Turner has a .272/.372/.408 slash line with two homers through 28 games this season.

Dodgers pound 7 homers, beat Rockies 11-3 to finish sweep

Likely to play Tuesday Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Turner (hamstring) to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Turner is sitting out Sunday's series finale in Colorado after he was hit in the hamstring by a pitch a day earlier, but his absence looks to be mostly precautionary, based on Roberts' comments. Even if the hamstring issue prevents Turner from starting at third base Tuesday, he could still be eased back into action as the Dodgers' designated hitter.

Out of Sunday's lineup Turner (hamstring) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 35-year-old is dealing with a sore hamstring after being hit by a pitch Saturday, and he'll take the day off Sunday. Turner will also have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery, so the Dodgers may just be exercising caution with the veteran. Max Muncy will move to third base while Matt Beaty starts at first in the series finale.

Receives treatment after HBP Turner was hit by a pitch during Saturday's win over the Rockies and could receive the day off Sunday due to a sore hamstring, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact The veteran third baseman never exited the contest and finished 0-for-1 with a run scored and two walks, so even if he does sit Sunday, it appears to be a minor issue. Turner could also serve as the designated hitter, but a day off would also make sense given he's started the past five games.
