After several days of speculation and unconfirmed reports, the Dodgers have officially reinstated infielders Justin Turner (left wrist fracture) and Logan Forsythe (right shoulder inflammation) from the 10-day disabled list and optioned infielder/catcher Kyle Farmer and outfielder Tim Locastro to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Although their offensive rehab numbers were not all that good, Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner and second baseman Logan Forsythe both hit the ball very hard doing Saturday night’s rehab game with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.

Turner will make his 2018 debut this evening after suffering a fractured wrist after being hit by a pitch on March 19 during Spring Training. In two rehab games with the Single-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, he went 0-for-6 with one walk.  In 15 Spring Training games, the 2017 All-Star hit .333 (12-for-36) with two home runs, three RBI and a .970 OPS. Turner finished the 2017 season with a .322 batting average, 21 home runs and 71 RBI and was awarded co-MVP of the NLCS.

Forsythe, who missed 25 games since his last start on April 14, appeared in three rehab games with the Quakes, going 1-for-10 with a double. In 12 games prior to his injury this season, Forsythe was 8-for-46 (.174) with two runs, two doubles, one home run and four RBI.

Farmer, 27, has appeared in 30 games this season, batting .230 with six RBI, while hitting .357 (5-for-14) as a pinch hitter.

Locastro, 25, appeared in eight games with the Dodgers this season, going 2-for-11 with a stolen base.
