Dodgers’ Turner won’t need surgery on wrist

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner's broken left wrist is expected to heal without surgery, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Turner was hurt Monday when hit by a pitch from Oakland's Kendall Graveman.

Turner arrived at the Dodgers spring training facility with a cast over his wrist Tuesday morning and was scheduled to see a hand specialist for an estimate of the time he could miss.

"We know that it's not a surgery thing, it's just essentially time," Roberts said. "That's the initial thought. That could change but that's what I've heard."

Turner hit .322 with 21 homers and 71 RBIs last year and was a first-time All-Star. He had 14 RBIs in the postseason, including seven against the Chicago Cubs in the NL Championship Series, when he was voted MVP.

The Dodgers appear poised to move Logan Forsythe from second base to third in Turner's absence and have Enrique Hernandez and Chase Utley share time at second.

Buchholz, Royals finalize minor league contract

Right-hander Clay Buchholz and the Kansas City Royals have finalized a minor league contract.

The two-time All-Star would get a $1.5 million, one-year deal if added to the 40-man roster. Under the terms of the agreement announced Tuesday, the 32-year-old could earn $250,000 in performance bonuses: $25,000 per start from 10-19.

Drafted by Boston with the 42nd overall pick in 2006, Buchholz made his debut in August 2007 and pitched a no-hitter against Baltimore in his second big league appearance. He was 81-61 in 10 seasons with the Red Sox.

Buchholz was traded to Philadelphia in December 2016. He made two starts for the Phillies until he needed surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right forearm.

Buchholz was 0-1 with a 12.27 ERA in 7 1/3 innings for the Phillies last season.

Anderson back with Athletics

Left-hander Brett Anderson is back pitching with the club for which he broke into the big leagues, reaching agreement on a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old Anderson spent the 2009-13 seasons with the A's before being traded to the Rockies in December 2013. In nine years, he is 42-47 with a 4.04 ERA. He pitched for the Cubs and Toronto last year, going 4-4 with a 6.34 ERA in 13 starts and 55 1/3 innings.

Marlins' Straily out with forearm inflammation

Miami Marlins righthander Dan Straily has mild right forearm inflammation and will not throw for five or six days, raising the possibility his first start of the season will be delayed.

Straily, who tied for the NL lead with 33 starts last year, had been scheduled to pitch in the Marlins' second game March 30 against the Chicago Cubs. He complained of arm stiffness and had an MRI that revealed the inflammation.
