Turner is out of the lineup Sunday against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Turner started the past 10 games and will receive a breather for Sunday's series finale. Zach McKinstry will start at the hot corner for the Dodgers.

Ozuna (fingers) was arrested on charges of aggravated assault strangulation and misdemeanor battery/family violence Saturday in Georgia, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The league office is expected to open an investigation following the arrest, which could result in a suspension under MLB's domestic violence policy. Ozuna is already sidelined for at least the next six weeks after fracturing the ring and middle fingers on his left hand Tuesday.

Dickerson isn't starting Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Dickerson had started each of the last four games but will retreat to the bench with left-hander Julio Urias starting for the Dodgers on Saturday. Austin Slater will start in left field and lead off.

Dickerson went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

In the sixth inning, the outfielder hit into a fielder's choice to get aboard. He then stole second base, his first steal in 42 games this year. Dickerson is slashing a meager .217/.274/.365 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored across 124 plate appearances. With both Dickerson and Mike Tauchman being left-handed batters, they may share time in left field until one of them goes on a tear.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs in an extra-inning loss to the Giants on Friday.

The third baseman collected his fifth three-hit effort of the campaign, though it was his first since performing the feat in back-to-back contests April 15 and 16. Turner has fallen into a bit of a funk since those outings, batting only .211 over his subsequent 128 at-bats. He is still posting solid overall numbers on the season, including a .275/.364/.472 slash line, nine homers and 27 RBI.

Ruf was diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Ruf was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, and he underwent an MRI that revealed a strain. The injury has a 3-to-4 week recovery timeline, so the 34-year-old should spend more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. A better idea of his return timetable could come into focus once Ruf is able to resume baseball activities.

Ozuna (finger) was officially placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Ozuna fractured two fingers on his left hand while running the bases Tuesday against the Red Sox. While he won't require surgery, he's expected to miss at least six weeks, meaning he won't be back on the field until shortly before the All-Star break at the earliest. Guillermo Heredia should see time in left field in his absence, with at-bats opening up for Ender Inciarte in center.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in a 4-3 victory over the Giants on Thursday.

Turner homered off Alex Wood in the third inning to plate Mookie Betts and give the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead. It was only Turner's third home run of May as he's cooled considerably after a hot start but he remains a consistent option with a .266/.358/.468 slash line on the season.

Ruf (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Ruf suffered the injury while rounding first base in Wednesday's contest against the Diamondbacks. He'll now be out at least ten days, though the results of a pending MRI will dictate if he can return after the minimum amount of time. LaMonte Wade was recalled in the corresponding move.

Ruf (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Ruf left Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent right hamstring injury and was slated to undergo an MRI on Thursday. While the results of his MRI aren't yet known, Jason Vosler will start at first base and bat eighth.
