Turner's injury creates roster domino effect

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Pedro Guerrero's ruptured left knee in 1986. Adrian Beltre's burst appendix in 2001. Jayson Werth's misdiagnosed left wrist in '05. Hanley Ramirez's right thumb torn in the World Baseball Classic in 2013. Andre Ethier's fractured right leg in '16.

And now Justin Turner's broken left wrist, the latest jarring reminder that the Dodgers' best-laid plans can be scrambled in a Spring Training instant.

A day off Wednesday was scheduled for rest, but it can serve the double purpose of resetting the psyche of a club so focused on October that it risked overlooking March, April, May, etc.
