Even though he’s no longer a Dodger… we still love our Justin Turner! So, we’re sending him ALL the good vibes this morning! JT was at the plate yesterday (for the Red Sox) and took a wicked fastball straight to the face. The HIT you hear int he video below is NOT a bat! Justin was rushed to the hospital and required 16 stitches to close it up.
His wife Kourtney posted – saying he’s stable… and, thankfully, had clean scans with no fractures. As far as the Dodgers go, they're lookin’ TOUGH so far in Spring Training! They topped the Padres 8-3 yesterday at Camelback, where Noah Syndergaard tossed 3 perfect innings! Through their first ten games… they’ve only lost twice! The boys in blue are off today before hosting the Mariners tomorrow night.
Message from Kourtney Turner (Justin's wife):
"Thank you to everyone that reached out about Justin and sent prayers. We're home now and he's resting (okay - maybe listening to the replay of the game).
16 stitches and a lot of swelling but we are thanking God for no fractures & clear scans!
We will respond to messages when we're able.
God is good."
