Justin Turner wasn’t letting the Coronavirus stop him from celebrating the Dodgers World Series win on Tuesday.
Immediately after game 6 of the World Series, it was revealed that Turner was pulled from the game after his test results came back positive.
Sources confirm to ESPN that Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner tested positive for COVID-19 and was removed from Game 6 of the World Series.

2/of baseball operations Andrew Friedman to have Turner pulled from the game. There was not a consideration to halt the game, since MLB had a similar situation earlier this year with the #Reds Nick Senzel and had him pulled and continued the game. The #Dodgers were asked to mask

Despite testing positive for COVID-19, Turner was seen on the field holding the trophy and taking photos without wearing his mask near his teammates.

#Dodgers Justin Turner tests positive for COVID-19, is pulled from #WorldSeries Game 6 in 8th inning, but comes back out onto field for photos — without a mask or social distancing? @MLB!? pic.twitter.com/Joth2AIFv8

Dave Roberts is right next to Justin Turner, who tested positive for COVID, and neither of them are wearing masks. Nobody is wearing a mask. This is preposterous. https://t.co/YvNtvSLFwi

THEY’RE ALL PUTTING THE TROPHY JUST HELD BY TURNER UP BY THEIR MOUTHS AND HOLDING IT AND TOUCHING THEIR MOUTHS AND TURNER TOOK HIS MASK OFF FOR A PHOTO!
What is going on right now?

Update: Apparently the MLB asked Justin Turner to stay off the field after testing positive for COVID but the Dodgers insisted he be allowed.
