  Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run to help the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Giants on Friday. The 33-year-old's fifth-inning blast off Madison Bumgarner turned out to be the decisive blow in this contest, bringing his homer total up to 14 on the season. Turner has been limited to 354 at-bats due to injury in 2018, but he's put up fabulous numbers in the time he's been on the field, as he's boasting an elite .316/.409/.525 slash line.

• Dodgers' Justin Turner: Dealing with sore left thumb

  Turner required an X-ray on his left thumb following the Dodgers' 7-2 loss Wednesday to the Diamondbacks, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports. Though X-rays returned negative, manager Dave Roberts said the third baseman is "a little sore." Turner, who went 1-for-4 at the plate in the loss, hurt the thumb when he fielded a hard-hit ball off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth inning. Considering X-rays revealed no structural damage and Turner was able to shake off the injury and stay in the game, it doesn't look to be a major concern. He seems in little jeopardy of sitting out the Dodgers' three-game series in San Francisco to close out the season, especially with the team in a tight battle for both the NL West title and a wild-card spot.

  Turner (wrist) started and went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 5-0 loss to St. Louis. Manager Dave Roberts revealed that Turner was dealing with a sore wrist after being hit by a pitch in Saturday's tilt, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. The minor injury was not severe enough to hold the third baseman out of action, and his two-hit performance bodes well for his availability for the Dodgers' crucial upcoming series against the Rockies.
