Los Angeles Dodgers
Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner will not require wrist surgery, according to Ken Guernick of MLB.com. Typically, a fractured wrist should take anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks to heal, but the time table is unofficial.
With that in mind, the plan for the first couple months of the season will be to move Logan Forsythe over to third and platoon Chase Utley with Enrique Hernandez and possibly Austin Barnes in spot duty at second.
Suddenly, a big opportunity opens up for Hernandez (who hit three home runs in a single postseason game in 2017) to contribute more frequently and become a bigger part of manager Dave Roberts’ roster.
