Justin Turner Returns to Los Angeles Dodgers for 2023 Season

Veteran Infielder Signs One-Year Contract

Turner to Man Third Base for World Series Champions

Justin Turner is returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers after signing a one-year contract with the reigning World Series champions. The veteran infielder announced his decision via Twitter, stating that he was excited to "run it back" with the team.

Turner, who turns 39 this year, has been a key member of the Dodgers lineup since 2014. He has been a mainstay at third base and has provided consistent offense and leadership for the team.

In 2022, Turner played in 151 games and batted .278 with 21 home runs and 81 RBIs. He also led the National League in doubles (43) and extra-base hits (89). Turner is known for his clutch hitting and has been a key contributor to the Dodgers' success in recent years.

With Turner's return, the Dodgers' infield is now set for 2023. Max Muncy is expected to play first base, Gavin Lux will be at second base, and Turner will return to his familiar spot at third base. With a strong lineup and a solid pitching staff, the Dodgers are once again among the favorites to win the World Series in 2023.
