Including Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers have played their past three games without Justin Turner in the lineup. He sat out the series finale against the San Francisco Giants due to a sore left ankle, then was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday.
Turner was deemed available off the bench for both contests, though he did not appear in either. With the Dodgers having secured a seventh consecutive National League West title, he was given another night off rather than return to play through the minor injury.
Had it been a game of consequence or the postseason, Turner would have played.
