Justin Turner does not seem to be too concerned about his health despite being hit by a pitch on Wednesday night.
Turner was nailed in the shoulder by Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Tyler Glasnow to start the bottom of the fifth inning of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 6-4 win. The ball went from Turner’s shoulder and skipped him to hit him in the face.

Turner remained in the game and scored a run that inning. He later singled as well.
After the game, Turner said he was “fine” despite being hit.
