Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, who has been out with a skin infection on his thigh since July 27, could be activated by the team as early as Thursday, per the Orange County Register. According to the Los Angeles Times, Turner said he had MRSA, a serious strain of staph bacteria that's become resistant to antibiotics.
Turner's return to the lineup has been a little slower than normal to allow him to fully get back into baseball shape, and Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday was a day of "conditioning drills" for Turner, and that the team could activate him either Thursday or Friday.
Turner has compiled a slash line of .323/.387/.563 for Los Angeles this season.
