While the Los Angeles Dodgers have the depth to physically fill the void left by Justin Turner, there’s no replacing his production in the lineup. Turner was confident the team would press ahead just fine while he recovered from a fractured left wrist, but that’s been tough sledding.
Upon suffering the injury in March, the Dodgers and Turner maintained there wasn’t a specific timetable for his return. General manager Farhan Zaidi said the club was informed Turner’s stint on the disabled list would be weeks, not months.
Turner said he was told the fracture could take anywhere from one month to 10 weeks to fully heal.
