Dodgers' Justin Turner becoming primary option at third base
Dodgers infielder Justin Turner hasn't been given the title just yet, but it's becoming apparent he is the team's primary third baseman over Alex Guerrero and Juan Uribe, according to the L.A. Times.
Turner has started 13 of 20 games this month for Los Angeles, but has not started more than three consecutive games all year.
"We try to be three [games] on, one off and two on and one off," manager Don Mattingly said. "Trying basically to not let him go too far at one time."
Mattingly is trying to juggle the three players in his infield as much as possible, keeping them all around equal playing time.
"It's tough with Alex and Justin right now," Mattingly said. "We're trying to put the best lineup out there. I do think as this continues on, there's going to be a point where Juan's going to be a valuable part. But right now, those two guys have been swinging the bat real well and playing solid defense."
