Justin Turner’s return to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting lineup was short-lived.
Turner left Sunday’s Dodgers-Milwaukee Brewers game during the third inning with what was said to be groin tightness.
Official word — Justin Turner left with right groin tightness. Same issue that kept him out of the lineup for 10 days

Turner was 1-for-2 with an RBI double before leaving the game.
Turner had a pinch hit appearance on Saturday and was making his first start since July 11 after missing time with a groin injury. It’s possible that he ends up back on the DL now.
The 33-year-old is hitting .259 with five homers this season. It’s been a rough season for Turner, who did not make his season debut until mid-May because of a broken bone in his hand.
