Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Mariners. With his eighth-inning homer off Alex Colome, Turner extended his hitting streak to 12 games, and he's batting .404/.492/.731 in August. Turner also chipped in a rare stolen base, his second of the season and first since June 26. Now seemingly back to full health, Turner appears primed for a big final six weeks.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale at Colorado, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Turner has a modest six-game hit streak (.417/.481/.583) but will get a day off Sunday. Manny Machado shifts to third base with Chris Taylor at shortstop for the Dodgers.

Turner is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros. The Dodgers are just giving Turner a pre-planned rest after the third baseman played three consecutive games upon returning from the 10-day disabled list Thursday. Turner is slated to return to the lineup for the Dodgers' next game Tuesday in Oakland, serving in his usual role in the field or as the club's designated hitter.
