Dodgers News: Justin Turner Hopeful To Return In Series Finale Against Cubs

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ first look at the Chicago Cubs since the 2016 National League Championship Series included nearly a two-hour rain delay, two injuries, and ended in a walk-off loss.

Franklin Gutierrez, who was removed in the second inning on Monday, was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left-hamstring strain. Justin Turner, removed in the eighth inning with quadriceps tightness, avoided the DL on Wednesday but was not included in the lineup.

Turner provided more details on his injury and said he expects to return in the series finale against the Chicago Cubs, via Bill Plunkett of the Southern California News Group:

#Dodgers Justin Turner said quad issue is "like a charley horse," happened on dive for Lester FC Monday and got tighter as game went on

#Dodgers Justin Turner said it feels better already. "Hopefully another day of treatment and I'll be good to go."

— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) April 12, 2017

Turner went 0-for-3 in the Dodgers’ loss to the Cubs, though reached once via a hit by pitch. Prior to taking a ball off his left arm/elbow area, ESPN aired a replay that appeared to show a pitch graze his left pinky.

On the season Turner is batting .357/.400/.536 appearing and starting in seven of the team’s eight games entering play on Wednesday. Logan Forsythe started at third base in place of Turner, and Chase Utley filled in at second.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Turner is available to pinch-hit Wednesday night.
