Tijuana Toros baseball games with Justin Turner

Justin Turner is playing for the Tijuana Toros in the 2026 Mexican League season, giving Dodgers fans in Southern California a nearby chance to watch the former Los Angeles infielder again. Toros de Tijuana announced Turner’s signing on April 11, and the club presented him in Tijuana three days later before the season got underway. Yahoo Sports, which republished a Los Angeles Times profile by Bill Shaikin on May 18, reported Turner had gone unsigned by major league teams after 17 seasons in the majors. Liga Mexicana de Beisbol lists Turner, 41, on Tijuana’s roster as a first baseman and designated hitter. ### When did Justin Turner join the Tijuana Toros? Toros de Tijuana said on April 11 that Turner had joined the club for the 2026 Liga Mexicana de Beisbol season. The team described him as a veteran of 17 major league seasons and a member of the Dodgers’ 2020 World Series championship team. Tijuana formally presented Turner on April 14, according to Liga Mexicana de Beisbol coverage of the event. The league’s report said Turner told fans and reporters he was committed to playing with the club in the coming season. Yahoo Sports’ May 18 article said Turner had looked for another opportunity in affiliated baseball before choosing Tijuana. In that story, Toros manager Roberto Kelly said: “Justin doesn’t have to be here. He doesn’t need this to continue his life.” ### What has Turner done on the field so far? Liga Mexicana de Beisbol’s player page for Turner listed him with 24 games, 80 at-bats, 22 hits, three home runs and 14 RBIs as of the latest update available on May 24. The same page listed a .275 batting average, .398 on-base percentage and .475 slugging percentage. Toros de Tijuana have used Turner primarily at first base and designated hitter, according to the league roster report published before the season. That report said the club expected him to reinforce the infield while adding a veteran bat to the lineup. Bill Shaikin wrote in the Yahoo Sports profile that Turner had become a draw for Dodgers fans crossing the border to see him play. The article described him signing autographs before games at Toros Mobil Park and playing in front of fans carrying Dodgers memorabilia. ### Where do the Toros play, and how close is it for U.S. fans? Toros de Tijuana play at Toros Mobil Park in Tijuana, Baja California. The club’s website lists the stadium address on Calle Estadio Tijuana in the Cerro Colorado area of the city. Toros de Tijuana and Liga Mexicana de Beisbol have both referred to the park as Turner’s home field this season. A May 20 club article said the Dodgers fan group Pantone 294 was planning a visit to Toros Mobil Park on June 2 to support Turner. That same article said more than 500 fans were expected for the June 2 game against the Charros de Jalisco. The club framed the event as a cross-border gathering tied directly to Turner’s arrival in Tijuana. ### Which home games are next? Toros de Tijuana’s 2026 schedule lists the club on the road through May 24, with a home series against Algodoneros Unión Laguna beginning Tuesday, May 26, at Toros Mobil Park. The posted schedule shows games on May 26, May 27 and May 28. The same schedule lists another home series beginning Tuesday, June 2, against the Sultanes de Monterrey, followed by a June 5-7 set against the Charros de Jalisco. A separate club article published May 20 said Pantone 294 planned its Turner-focused trip for June 2, when Tijuana opens a home series against Charros de Jalisco; the club’s calendar page and article do not match on that opponent listing. Toros de Tijuana’s website includes its calendar and fan-information pages for dates, times and ticketing details. The club also lists box office contact information and stadium directions on its official site. ### Why are Dodgers fans paying attention? Los Angeles remains central to Turner’s profile. Yahoo Sports’ May 18 article said Turner had become “an improbable tourist attraction for Dodgers fans” in Tijuana after no major league club signed him for 2026. The May 20 Toros article said Dodgers supporters had already begun showing up at Toros Mobil Park after Turner’s arrival. The club specifically named Pantone 294, a Dodgers fan travel group led by Alexander Soto, as organizing a large turnout around one of Tijuana’s upcoming home dates. Toros de Tijuana’s next listed home games begin May 26 at Toros Mobil Park, according to the team schedule, and the club’s June 2 date has been promoted separately as a Turner draw for visiting Dodgers fans.
