Dodgers Place Justin Turner On 10-Day IL

By Connor Byrne | September 1, 2020 at 6:43pm CDT

The Dodgers announced that they’ve placed third baseman Justin Turner on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 29, with a left hamstring strain. They activated infielder Edwin Rios and left-hander Alex Wood (post) from the IL in other moves.

The Dodgers have gone without Turner since he exited their game against the Rangers last Friday with the injury. Hamstring problems can often lead to lengthy absences, though manager Dave Roberts has said Turner only suffered a “low-grade” strain.

The loaded Dodgers, owners of baseball’s best record, should be able to carry on without Turner for however much time he misses, but they’ll obviously want him healthy when the playoffs roll around. The 35-year-old has enjoyed yet another high-quality season, having slashed .282/.384/.410 with a pair of home runs in 138 plate appearances.

With Turner on the shelf for the past few days, the Dodgers have relied on Max Muncy to man the hot corner. Muncy got off to a rough start this season, but his production has trended in the right direction of late. Rios could also be an option at third, where he has seen action in five games this year. He came out of the gates quickly this year before landing on the IL on Aug. 17 with a left hamstring strain of his own.

    Ow. But we had to see that coming.

    Worth pointing out that this weekend will be brutally hot in LA. Good time to sit the “old man” anyway.

    I’m pretty sure this is a move that was more about the playoffs than him not being able to play. If the Dodgers were in a tight race, I think he plays. But as it stands, let the guy get some rest and let some other guys (Rios, Lux, Beaty) all get some valuable at bats to see who may be able to contribute and make the postseason roster.

      With all the depth Dodgers have.
      Does Justin Turner resign with Dodgers next year ?
      Maybe Chase Utley, David Freese type role?

    There seems to be a bit of this going around the league.

    Much rather he be healthy for oct than trying to play thru something now and really blow it out. Never good to go on the IL, but as blue skies said, by this point pretty expected
