The Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday announced the return of Justin Turner from the disabled list. Turner will immediately return to the lineup, batting third and playing third base in Friday night’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.
Before being placed on the DL with a right hamstring strain, Turner was leading the major leagues with a .379 batting average. Turner, who missed 19 games while on the disabled list, appeared in one rehab game with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Monday going 1-for-3 with an RBI. He also participated in a sim game on Wednesday, and reported no issues with his hamstring after either game.
