The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated Justin Turner from the 10-day injured list and optioned Josh Sborz back to their alternate training site at USC. Turner had been sidelined by a left hamstring strain since Sept. 1 (retroactive to Aug. 29).
He suffered the injury on a stolen base attempt in the series opener against the Texas Rangers. The Dodgers initially hoped Turner was only dealing with a cramp but then determined he’d sustained what manager Dave Roberts described as a ‘low-grade’ hamstring strain.
Turner remained active for the ensuing two games against the Rangers but was held out of both contests.
