Bruised thumb sidelines Dodgers' Justin Turner

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner sustained a bruised right thumb when he was hit by a pitch from Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. in the first inning on Thursday afternoon and soon exited the game.

X-rays were negative and Turner was listed as day-to-day. Turner is hitting a team-leading .321 with 21 homers and 70 RBIs.

"Any time you get hit in the hand, it's scary,'' Turner said. "The fact that I was able to stay in [the game, initially] was a good sign. But we needed to get the X-rays anyway, just to make sure.''
