Dodgers All-Star third baseman Justin Turner is closer to swinging a bat, a crucial step in his recovery from a broken wrist.
"It'll probably be about pain management from there," Turner said before Thursday's season opener against the San Francisco Giants. "There's no doubt it's going to be sore. But it's just a matter of what you can deal with."
"Literally, when it happened they were like, 'It could be four weeks, it could be 10 weeks,'" Turner said. "There really is no timetable."
Toles may not remain in the minors for long. The Dodgers alter their roster regularly and can be creative in the usage of the 10-day disabled list.
