Of course, he emphasized that the modification would be for only the 2020 regular season — if there is a season — because it probably would feature a condensed schedule with sparse off days and regular doubleheaders. Add a 13-inning game here and there, and injuries could mount. June 29, 2014 Los Angeles Dodgers placed 3B Justin Turner on the 15-day disabled list. May 19, 2017 Los Angeles Dodgers placed 3B Justin Turner on the 10-day disabled list. August 2, 2018 Los Angeles Dodgers activated 3B Justin Turner from the 10-day injured list.
Former Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka was NPB's highest paid player this past season with a salary believed to be in the $8 million range. "Justin Turner has now been hit by as many pitches as anybody in Dodger history, tied at 73 with HOFer Zach Wheat, 1 ahead of Jackie Robinson" – via Twitter. Turner hit a career-high three home runs and drove in six runs against the Atlanta Braves on May 8 in a 9–0 win. On June 14, he hit his 100th career home run off of Kyle Hendricks in a 5–3 win against the Chicago Cubs.

LOS ANGELES ― On May 18, Justin Turner hit a three-run home run against Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zach Davies. It was his fourth home run of the season, and it was the difference in a two-run victory. The $4.4 million salary makes Murakami one of the highest paid players in Japan.
Turner finished the season with a .322 batting average, a .415 on-base percentage, 21 home runs, and 71 RBI, finishing third in the NL in batting average and second in on-base percentage. In the 2017 NLDS, he had six hits in 13 at-bats (.462 average), including a winning home run in the ninth inning of Game 2 against the Chicago Cubs. Turner and Chris Taylor were selected as the co-MVPs of the 2017 National League Championship Series, where he batted .333 with two home runs and seven RBI. However, in the 2017 World Series, he had only four hits in 25 at-bats, for a .160 average as the Dodgers lost to the Houston Astros in seven games.
Justin Turner’s 2 home runs lead Dodgers over Padres
In the 2015 National League Division Series against his former team the Mets, Turner led the Dodgers with 10 hits in 19 ABs for a .526 average, with an LDS record 6 of those hits being doubles. After the Dodgers were eliminated from the post-season, he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. He signed a new one year, $5.1 million, contract with the Dodgers in order to avoid salary arbitration in January 2016. On January 16, 2015, he signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Dodgers, avoiding salary arbitration. He became the starting third baseman for much of the 2015 season and hit .294 with a career high 16 homers and 60 RBI.
It’s noteworthy in that Musgrove made dismissive comments about Turner despite his two home runs on June 30. One of the names this pitching staff will need to rely on is Kershaw. The three-time Cy Young winner is coming off his second injured list stint, and while Kershaw himself implied that his extended absence happened in part due to an abundance of caution, it is frankly understandable given his recurring back problems. That was the essence of the headlines when Turner said on television MLB should have a home run derby decide games tied after 10 innings and defended the idea on Twitter the next day.

Even playing 100 games is looking less likely by the week. The All-Star game, scheduled for July 14 at Dodger Stadium, is in danger of cancellation. The Dodgers countered with three in the bottom off the fifth when Freeman singled, Muncy beat an infield shift with a tapper that traveled 10 feet in the air before rolling past third base and Justin Turner drove a three-run homer to center. Muncy’s eighth-inning homer, which followed an Austin Barnes single, a Trea Turner tie-breaking RBI double and a Freddie Freeman walk, traveled 381 feet to right field and turned a 4-3 Dodgers lead into a 7-3 advantage.

Justin Matthew Turner is an American professional baseball third baseman who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball for the Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers. He played college baseball for the Cal State Fullerton Titans. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft by the Cincinnati Reds, and made his major league debut in 2009. With the Dodgers, Turner was an All-Star in 2017, and won the 2017 National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player Award. His home runs in the series finale at Petco Park were Turner’s first on the road this season.

Turner's hot streak continued in the 2018 NLDS, where he reached base in 9 of 18 plate appearances. He went on to hit .333 (8-for-24) in the 2018 World Series, which his team lost to the Boston Red Sox. On December 23, 2016, the Dodgers signed Turner to a four-year contract valued at $64 million. Turner started the 2017 season batting .379 before going on the injured list with a strained right hamstring, which kept him out of action from May 18 through June 9. On July 6, he won the All-Star Final Vote, earning a spot in the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Game with 20.8 million votes, a Final Vote record.
While setting a new home run record every year is unreasonable, three more seasons similar to 2022 would set Murakami up for a massive payday after 2025. It's impossible to know which teams will need what in three years, but it would be safe to assume MLB's big market teams (Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Yankees, etc.) will all have interest in Murakami when the time comes. Munetaka Murakami, the record-setting third baseman for the Yakult Swallows in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, has signed a three-year contract extension and will be posted for MLB teams after the 2025 season, reports the Kyodo News. The new contract is worth roughly $4.4 million per year. The multi-home run game was Turner’s second of the season and 13th in his career. Both such games this season have not only come against the Padres, but in Joe Musgrove starts.
He found the event exciting — except when he was throwing the pitches. Turner defended his concept on Twitter on Thursday, emphasizing that it would only be for this season to prevent pitching staffs from decimation in a truncated schedule. If Major League Baseball holds a season this year, it promises to be very different than normal. And with opening day already pushed back to at least mid-May, the biggest change will be undoubtedly be the schedule.
Another opposite field homer for these Giant hitters on a series in which the ball has really carried. June 11, 2009 Norfolk Tides placed 2B Justin Turner on the 7-day disabled list retroactive to June 9, 2009. May 29, 2012 New York Mets placed 2B Justin Turner on the 15-day disabled list.
Clinching the division will likely be a bigger deal to the team, something they failed to do last season and could clinch as soon as Tuesday with their magic number down to two. And all they’ve done since then is rack up the most wins in the majors (they are 96-43) while building a massive lead in the National League West and an even larger cushion over the playoff cut line. They were coming off a 106-win season and had the highest payroll in the majors. They were World Series favorites in Las Vegas and had a 97.7% likelihood of reaching the playoffs in Fangraphs’ projection model. Like most of the previous nine years, a Dodgers playoff berth this season felt almost inevitable from the start. The Dodgers got some good news before the game when they learned the timetable for the return of Mookie Betts from a right-rib fracture was moved up by a week to 10 days.
White ran into more trouble in the fifth when Profar slapped a one-out double to left and took third on a wild pitch. But White struck out Machado with an 85-mph slider, and Bruihl came on to whiff Jake Cronenworth with an 88-mph slider up in the zone. Musgrove (8-2) allowed only five hits and struck out 10 batters, but was stuck with his second loss of the season. Tied 1-1, the Dodgers could not mount a rally against Musgrove.
Most of this season has been a grind for Turner, who is batting .227 with a .673 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, six homers and 41 RBIs, but he said he felt like he was getting “pretty close to breaking out” over the last week or so. Turner followed a one-out walk to Max Muncy in the seventh by driving a 1-and-1 cut-fastball from Padres ace Joe Musgrove 404 feet over the right-center field wall for his 13th career multi-homer game and a 3-1 lead. But that didn’t shake manager Dave Roberts’ confidence in the veteran third baseman. Roberts kept plugging Turner into the middle of the order because of his ability to produce in the clutch, citing Turner’s 38 RBIs, fourth-most on the team, and .286 average with runners in scoring position entering Thursday night. Chris Taylor made the defensive play of the game with one out in the second inning, catching a fly ball in right field and throwing a one-hopper to home plate to retire Trent Grisham attempting to tag up and score from third base.
