After the game, third baseman Justin Turner said that an MRI on his left knee revealed a bone bruise and an inflamed tendon. He won’t have to miss much time.
“It’s pretty much the best case we could’ve had,” Turner said. “There’s not really a whole lot medicine-wise to help speed it up. It’s kind of a good-case, bad-case kind of thing.”
Turner said he will treat the tendon with rest and ice. The bone bruise, he said, “isn’t going anywhere.”
