Despite dealing with a bone bruise on his right foot, Justin Turner is in the starting lineup for the Red Sox.
Turner suffered what was initially believed to be a heel contusion against the Royals on July 31. He missed a couple of games before returning to play on Aug. 5 against the Blue Jays, but has remained sidelined again since Aug. 7.
Turner, who will be the team’s designated hitter today versus the Tigers, expects to be dealing with the injury for a while.
Boston’s infielder and designated hitter told The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier on Wednesday he actually endured a bone bruise.
