MLB: Justin Turner Was 'Wrong' to Celebrate With Teammates Following World Series Win

Major League Baseball issued a statement saying Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner's decision to celebrate with his team on Tuesday night despite testing positive for COVID-19 was "wrong" and "put everyone he came in contact with at risk."

MLB said it learned of Turner's positive test results during last night's 3-1 Dodgers victory. The league says it immediately put Turner into isolation for the safety of those around him upon receiving notice of a positive test result.

Turner started Tuesday's game and went hitless in each of his three at-bats. He was removed prior to the start of the eighth inning.
