The greater Dodger family was shocked and saddened by the injury sustained by Justin Turner on Monday morning. The All-Star was hit in the face by an up and in fastball out of the hand of Tigers starter Matt Manning. JT began bleeding almost immediately but was thankfully able to walk off the field under his own power.
The update came that he was taken to a local hospital where Turner’s wife Kourtney shared the update.
The veteran infielder lucked out, having sustained no facial fractures, according to Kourtney.
