Dodgers’ Justin Turner will not be punished for an on-field celebration with his team after winning the World Series championship against the Rays in Game 6 following a positive coronavirus test during the match. “As is often the case, our investigation revealed additional relevant information that, while not exonerating Mr. Turner from responsibility for his conduct, helps put into context why he chose to leave the isolation room and return to the field,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred wrote in a statement, according to KTLA5 in a piece published Friday. “I am closing this matter by applauding Justin for accepting responsibility, apologizing and making a commitment to set a positive example going forward,” the statement added.
