Chicago Cubs clubhouse leader Justin Turner was under fire at the end of July, with their speculation of him potentially being a DFA (designate for assignment) candidate in order to make room for new additions brought in at the trade deadline.

"He's so engaged in other people's success. So when that player has success, it just means a little bit more," manager Craig Counsell said.

Justin Turner smashed a two-run game-ending homer in the bottom of the ninth to hand the Cubs a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon.
