Justin Turner Injury News: Former Dodger Gets Stitches Removed, Addresses Hit by Pitch

Former Dodger favorite Justin Turner just keeps progressing. After an ugly scene last week in Florida where the now Red Sox DH was rushed to the hospital following a fastball to the face, Turner shared an update with local media on Sunday.

The message: he got pretty lucky.

"I got pretty lucky, all things considered. Every day, I've been getting a little bit better. I actually got the last of the stitches removed today and starting to do some baseball activities, so that's encouraging." — Justin Turner, who just spoke to small group of media.
