Twelve days after Justin Turner first aggravated his right groin, the Dodgers put him on the 10-day disabled list before a game against the Philadelphia Phillies, opening the door for new addition Manny Machado to take over at third base.
Manager Dave Roberts said he was insure whether Turner would require more than 10 days to recover from the injury that has nagged him since a game in San Diego before the All-Star break. Turner left a game Sunday, his first start since July 11, after only three innings.
Until Turner returns, Machado will handle third base, Roberts said.
