The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Trea Turner and placed Victor Gonzalez on the 10-day injured list due to right knee inflammation prior to the opener of the Freeway Series. Turner is now available off the bench and expected to be in the lineup at second base on Saturday.
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and manager Dave Roberts were reluctant to outline where Turner may play until getting a chance to speak with him in person. Although the trade with the Washington Nationals was finalized last week, Turner didn’t arrive in L.A. until Friday because of being in MLB’s protocol after testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
