What was shaping to be a healthy month of September for the Los Angeles Dodgers has taken a turn of late with Alex Verdugo suffering a setback in his recovery and Justin Turner dealing with lingering soreness in his left ankle.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts first revealed the minor injury Turner is dealing with on Sunday when explaining why the third baseman wasn’t in the lineup. Turner was deemed available off the bench, though did not appear in the game.
He was then scratched from Tuesday’s lineup and held out the following night. Turner is set to undergo an MRI on his left ankle after an X-ray didn’t produce any conclusive results.
