Justin Turner is back at third base for the Dodgers in their series opener against the Reds on Friday night in Cincinnati, after a pair of games at designated hitter in Cleveland.
Turner since returning from the disabled list last week has picked up right where he left off before his hamstring injury. His single in the ninth inning on Thursday extended his hitting streak to 11 games, which dates back to before his injury.
