In what’s an annual occurrence, the Dodgers have held veteran third baseman Justin Turner out of the lineup while he deals with a nagging core injury. Turner injured himself in a game back on July 21st and was held out of the lineup for a week while he rested up what was termed a rotational abdominal injury.
He was finally back in the lineup on July 27th and hasn’t seen the field again since.
Now he finally heads to the injured list. The move is retroactive to July 30th.
In his place, top hitting prospect Miguel Vargas was called up and added to the active roster.
