Somehow Justin Turner is being selected in the NFBC on average as the 22nd third baseman off the board. Fantasy owners should be chomping at the bit to draft Turner at this current cost.

Justin Turner was hit by a pitch on his hand tonight. Turner stayed in the game, homering in his next at-bat. After the game he mentioned that his hand is okay but he will have an x-ray.

Fantasy Impact

It doesn't sound like this HBP is going to cost Turner time, however, fantasy owners have to be concerned about this reoccurring due to Turner's close approach at the plate. He has also missed time in the past due to being hit on the hand/wrist. The talent and bat are fantastic with the only question mark being volume. JT is projected to hit third in what should be one of the best offenses in all of baseball. His NFBC ADP is 164 over the previous week, providing some room for profit if he can stay on the field.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Justin Turner (back) will be ready for Thursday's NLDS Game 1.
