With Justin Turner sidelined for the start of the 2018 season, Kyle Farmer benefited with extra playing time early on. He was among three catchers featured on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Opening Day roster, but what solidified Farmer’s inclusion was his ability to play either of the infield corner positions.
Farmer, along with Logan Forsythe, was part of the contingent to see time at third base in Turner’s absence. He initially impressed on the defensive side, which allowed him to remain with the Dodgers through the first two months of the season.
Farmer was sent back to the Minors in early June and didn’t return until rosters expanded in September.
