announced that they had opened an
investigation into Justin Turner. .

He was quarantined in a doctor’s office
and instructed to remain isolated. .
Turner disregarded the league’s
COVID-19 safety protocols and returned
to the field following the Dodgers’ victory. .
It is clear that Turner chose to disregard
the agreed-upon joint protocols and the
instructions he was given regarding the
safety and protection of others,
MLB, via ESPN.
At one point, Turner was also on the field without
wearing a mask and “emphatically refused to comply”
when MLB security asked him to leave.
While a desire to celebrate
is understandable, Turner’s
decision to leave isolation
and enter the field was wrong
and put everyone he came
in contact with at risk,

Turner, seemingly unaware of the
gravity of the situation, posted a follow-up tweet
after the game, saying he feels “great.” .
Thanks to everyone
reaching out! I feel
great, no symptoms
at all. Just experienced
every emotion you can
possibly imagine,
