Turner is starting at second base and batting third in Friday's game versus the Cubs, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Turner entered play Friday having seen only eight innings of action at second base this season, and this is his first start at the position since 2015. The goal of the move is to inject more offense into the Boston lineup, as its allows Masataka Yoshida, Jarren Duran and Adam Duvall to all start between the outfield and DH, but it's not clear how frequently manager Alex Cora will deploy this lineup -- the team is already struggling to find an adequate defensive option at shortstop.
