LOS ANGELES – Justin Turner is returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers, announcing via Twitter on Saturday night that he's ready to “run it back” with the World Series champions.
The 36-year-old third baseman batted .307 with four homers, 23 RBIs and an .860 OPS during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
He hit .320 with two homers during the World Series before being pulled from the deciding Game 6 after testing positive for the coronavirus.
He infamously broke protocol by returning to the field after the final out and removed his mask near teammates during the celebration.
