ANALYSIS: Justin Turner has gone from plug-and-play utility man to fantasy juggernaut in 2015. With injuries galore for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Turner has found himself on the field regularly and playing a key part in seemingly every game. His .320 BA, 11 HR and 36 RBI rank him in the top 25 in the NL. His OPS sits at .959. As a point of comparison, Seattle OF Nelson Cruz has a .922 OPS.
Clearly Turner has been an absolute monster for fantasy owners, who almost certainly did not draft him. They probably picked him up hoping and praying that he would help get them by until someone like Anthony Rendon returned from his early season injury.
The looming arrivals of Hector Olivera and highly touted prospect Corey Seager make Turner's long term fantasy outlook a bit murky. But Olivera is currently on the shelf at Triple-A and Seager is not going to be rushed, even as Jimmy Rollins continues to struggle. If he keeps hitting the way he has, Turner will remain a huge fantasy asset this season.
