After microfracture surgery, Justin Turner expects to be 100% ready for opening day

LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner said on Saturday that he has had no setbacks in recovery from his left knee surgery in October, and expects to be 100-percent ready for opening day.

Turner had the procedure on Oct. 22 in Los Angeles, with team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache performing the surgery, which was to remove loose bodies from the knee but also included a microfracture procedure that had Turner a little uncomfortable at first.

"They told me there were some loose bodies floating around, but I didn't know why until we got the MRI results," Turner explained on Saturday.
