Turner (groin) remained out of the starting lineup Saturday, but he went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in a loss to Milwaukee.
While Turner was unable to re-enter the starting nine Saturday, his pinch-hit appearance suggests he's just about over the groin issue. The third baseman relayed after the contest that he expects to start in Sunday's series finale, per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, which would give Turner's fantasy owners some peace of mind heading into the upcoming week. The 33-year-old will likely cede a handful of starts to the newly acquired Manny Machado, but he should still handle the bulk of the duties at the hot corner once he fully heals from the minor injury.
