LOS ANGELES -- Third baseman Justin Turner was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday, retroactive to July 27, with a right-thigh skin infection.
Turner was in the emergency room Tuesday to treat the infection with antibiotics but was released from the hospital before the end of Tuesday's game against the A's. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly didn't expand on any diagnosis and didn't have an explanation as to how the infection occurred.
"He's going to need extended time from the standpoint of taking care of this thing," Mattingly said. "{Trainer} Stan [Conte] was talking another six or seven days before he can even start doing stuff.
