The bodies started coming and going Friday, new players arriving, familiar ones being sent down, or in the case of Justin Turner, placed on the 15-day disabled list.
The Dodgers are doing roster adjustment in piecemeal fashion.
The Turner move buys them some time. He last played Sunday, afterward coming down with an infection in his right thigh. His DL move can be retroactive to Monday. There are three off days in that 15-day period.
Right-hander Mat Latos had yet to report Friday, so the Dodgers only had to create three openings for left-handed starter Alex Wood, right-handed reliever Jim Johnson and left-handed reliever Luis Avilan.
