On the night the Los Angeles Dodgers activated Adrian Gonzalez from the 10-day disabled list, they saw Justin Turner, another cornerstone in their infield and lineup, exit early due to injury.
An MRI the following day revealed Turner suffered a hamstring strain, and he was put on the DL. While the loss was significant for the Dodgers, there was some comfort taken in the fact that Turner’s injury was classified as a Grade 1 strain — the most-mild case.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts projected his third baseman would miss two weeks. While Turner, who suffered a similar injury in 2014, was hesitant to put a timeline in place, he believed Roberts’ estimate was sensible.
