The Los Angeles Dodgers have been without several key players so far in 2018, but perhaps none more significant than All-Star third baseman Justin Turner. He has yet to play this season after fracturing his wrist during Spring Training.
No timetable was ever given for Turner’s return, but it was expected by many that he would miss around eight weeks and return sometime in May. Turner is on pace for that schedule, as he recently began swinging a bat for the first time.
From there he advanced to participating in two simulated games at Dodger Stadium this week.
