Question

Will Turner be ready for opening day?

The Dodgers are playing things cautiously with Turner after he had microfracture surgery on his left knee, and even holding him out of the first week or so of Cactus League games. But Turner is still able to participate in workouts, both running and fielding, and he has been hitting in batting practice along with everyone else, with no restrictions.
