Heading to Dodgers Turner (COVID-19) will be traded from the Nationals to the Dodgers on Thursday along with Max Scherzer, in exchange for Keibert Ruiz, Josiah Gray, Gerardo Carrillo and Donovan Case... Impact Turner has had a tremendous season, maintaining a .322/.369/.521 line across 420 plate appearances. Once he is eligible to return from the injured list, he'll add another explosive bat to the Dodgers' lineup. However, his fit with his new team will be interesting, as Corey Seager (hand) already occupies shortstop for the club. Though shortstop has been Turner's sole position since 2017, he had played second base and center field earlier in his career. His debut with the team will be delayed after he was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday.
