Dodgers' Justin Turner near return from staph infection
/ STAFF WRITER
LOS ANGELES – What Justin Turner thought was an annoying bug bite turned out to be something much more serious.
On the DL with a skin infection for just more than two weeks, Turner rejoined the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Tuesday. After a rigorous pregame workout Wednesday, he revealed that the skin infection which started with an in-grown hair was diagnosed as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), a type of staph infection that is difficult to treat and can be very serious if it spreads.
