10 Justin Turner 3B

Turner went 3-for-4 with three doubles and a strikeout in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.

Turner notched three of the club's five hits on the day and scored the only run, coming around on a Manny Machado single in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old is working on an eight-game hitting streak -- six of which have been multi-hit efforts -- and is slashing a terrific .436/.511/.795 in 39 at-bats since the calendar flipped to August.

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.

Turner went 1-for-2 with a walk, two-run home run and three runs scored Thursday against the Brewers.

Turner returned from the disabled list Thursday and wasted no time making his presence known, blasting his sixth home run of the season in the sixth inning. He has managed to accumulate only 168 at-bats this season, and taking into account his lengthy struggle with injury, the Dodgers' may limit his playing time given the depth of their infield. When he has managed to take the field, Turner has managed a .262/.362/.417 slash line.

Turner (groin) was activated from the 10-day disabled list and will man third base and bat third against Milwaukee on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Turner will immediately return to action after spending the minimum 10 days on the DL with a right groin strain. Across 50 games this year, he's hit just .259/.354/.398 with five home runs and 20 RBI, and will likely cede some starts to Max Muncy and Manny Machado at the hot corner as the dog days of August begin.

Turner (groin) is expected to return from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Turner landed on the disabled list July 23 with a right groin strain, but he'll come off the shelf after missing the minimum. He figures to resume his role as the everyday third baseman, even with the additions of Manny Machado and Brian Dozier.
