Over the final few weeks of the regular season, the Los Angeles Dodgers juggled health with keeping positive momentum heading into the postseason. The bulk of the concern lied with Walker Buehler and Justin Turner, both of whom spent time on the 10-day injured list in September.
Turner was slowed by a left hamstring strain that sidelined him for two weeks. He sustained the injury on a stolen base attempt Aug. 28 and after missing the remainder of the series agains the Texas Rangers, was put on the IL four days later.
There was initial hope Turner would play in a three-game set at Chase Field during the second week of September.
