While the Los Angeles Dodgers have shuffled players all over the diamond and relied on platoons, one constant has been Justin Turner since he returned from a fractured left wrist suffered during Spring Training.
Turner missed another brief stretch due to a groin strain but has been in the lineup on essentially an everyday basis since being activated back on Aug. 2. He carried the Dodgers into September, earning National League Player of the Month honors for August.
In addition his steady production at the plate, Turner has been equally reliant at third base. However, there’s been a recent drop off as he’s uncharacteristically committed five errors in the past five games.
