I get it, it is a once in a lifetime moment. Winning the World Series is super rare! The last time the Dodgers won the World Series in 1988.

Not a medical professional here, but there are families and players on the field. Justin Turner was told to isolate, but just went straight to the field with no problem.

In the second inning tonight, the lab doing COVID tests informed MLB that Justin Turner’s test from yesterday came back inconclusive. The samples from today had just arrived and were run. It showed up positive. The league immediately called the Dodgers and said to pull Turner.

The answer is he went back out and nobody stopped him. He was asked to isolate and didn’t. https://t.co/AFyWN0Xt0b
