NEW YORK — Justin Turner will not be disciplined by Major League Baseball for coming onto the field last week to celebrate the World Series title with his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates after testing positive for COVID-19.
The third baseman was removed after seven innings of Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Oct. 27 after MLB informed the Dodgers of the test result, which was received during the sixth inning. He returned to the field after the Dodgers won 3-1 to earn the title, took off his mask and posed for a photograph with teammates.
