Don Mattingly has yet to pinpoint a return date for Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, who has been on the 15-day disabled list with a skin infection on his right thigh.

Turner could be back as early as Tuesday, but he has just begun to hit off a tee and Mattingly has indicated it could be Wednesday or Thursday.

"We didn't think it would be that long," Mattingly told MLB.com. "Now he's got to get back in shape to be ready."

Turner has been a pleasant surprise this season and was particularly hot before going down with 17 hits, including two home runs, in his last 37 at-bats.
