Justin Turner Remains Out Of Boston's Lineup
1 year agoBoston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Detroit Tigers. It's an issue that has been bothering Turner since July 31, and he now hasn't played since Monday of this week. Turner wants to continue playing through an injury that he said typically has a recovery timetable of four to six weeks. We'll see how long that lasts until the Red Sox consider putting him on the injured list. If he does continue playing, it's something he'll apparently have to manage the rest of the season. Masataka Yoshida is serving as the designated hitter on Friday and is batting cleanup, with Pablo Reyes starting at the keystone and batting seventh against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Turner has been a must-start in all fantasy leagues in a strong first season in Beantown, but it remains to be seen when he'll return to the diamond.
