Justin Turner is breaking his silence about the COVID debacle during Game 6 of the World Series -- saying he's apologized to his teammates for "failing to appreciate" the dangers of the virus.
The Dodgers star 3rd baseman was pulled from Game 6 in the 7th inning right when MLB and Dodgers officials learned a recent COVID test turned up positive.
But Turner returned to the field with his wife Kourtney after the game ended to partake in the victory celebration with teammates, coaches and others.
At the time, MLB blamed Turner for not following COVID protocol -- claiming he "emphatically refused to comply" with official orders.
