Turner got put on the disabled list on May 19th, and up to that point he was hitting a very productive .379, and that includes his ludicrous .404 batting average against right-handed pitching. Every Dodgers‘ fan out there must have felt like the team was headed for disaster.
And with good reason, because besides from playing outstanding defense, Turner was tearing up opposing pitchers. While the power numbers haven’t exactly been there this year, there is no arguing that he’d been having one of the most productive offensive seasons up until his hamstring injury in May.
