CHICAGO -- The Dodgers placed outfielder Franklin Gutierrez on the 10-day disabled on Wednesday (retroactive to Tuesday) with a Grade I strain of the left hamstring, but they are optimistic third baseman Justin Turner (tight quad) will be back in the lineup on Thursday in the finale of the three-game series with the Cubs.
Turner said he first felt the discomfort after making a diving stop on a grounder by Chicago pitcher Jon Lester in the fourth inning of the series opener on Monday. He exited the game in the bottom of the eighth.
