In case you missed it, Dodgers star third baseman, Justin Turner, was forced to leave his game against the A’s yestrday, after breaking his wrist on a hit-by-pitch.
As a result of the injury, Turner will definitely miss the start of the season, and could see some lasting effects thereafter – wrist injuries are notorious for sapping a player’s power.
But there is hope yet!
This young Dodgers/Justin Turner fan caught a glimpse of the injury and had an idea of how Turner could heal up sooner … let him kiss his boo-boo:

It’s an age-old remedy and, at this point, is worth a shot, right?!
Justin Turner caught word of the little boy’s worry, and gave him a shout-out on Twitter, as well as some tickets for his first game back.
Thank you for this!!! Brought a smile to my face. I’ll be back in no time lil buddy! How about a couple of tickets for my first game back? Go @Dodgers https://t.co/xm3BIILs0h
