Dodgers 2018 Player Review: Justin Turner

Justin Turner had a career season for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017, developing into one of the best and most reliable hitters in all of baseball.

Turner went into the 2018 season looking to repeat that, but it looked like the opportunity was taken away from him before he ever got the chance. While in the midst of a monster Spring Training, Turner got hit with a pitch by Oakland Athletics pitcher Kendall Graveman near the end of Cactus League play.

The pitch struck Turner right in the left wrist, fracturing it and causing him to miss the first six weeks of the regular season.
