Justin Turner To Be Limited To DH Duties
1 year agoBoston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) intends to keep playing through a bone bruise in his left heel and he will continue to serve as the team's designated hitter as long as he's healthy. Playing in the field is "off the table for a while," according to manager Alex Cora. Turner missed seven of 10 games to begin August after suffering the injury on July 31. His injury will limit the Red Sox positionally, and he could see more regular days off down the stretch to keep him off his feet. The 38-year-old veteran has been a must-start in fantasy in his first year in Boston for his run production and on-base abilities, but his offensive abilities could be compromised down the stretch if he isn't 100%. Since July 31, he's gone 8-for-30 (.267) with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored in eight starts.
