The Dodgers will honor their 2018 Roberto Clemente Award nominee prior to the start of this name. This person will be announced the day before, on Tuesday September 4th. Justin Turner has been selected to be the Dodgers nominee for the 2018 Roberto Clemente Award. He will be honored prior to the start of Wednesday's game against the Mets. Former Dodgers to have won the award include Steve Garvey in 1981 and Clayton Kershaw in 2012. From a Dodger press release:
The Roberto Clemente Award is the annual recognition of a player from each MLB Club who best represents the game of Baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.
...
Justin Turner is one of the 30 Club nominees for the annual award. Since joining the Dodgers in 2014, Turner has been a pillar of the team’s community efforts, giving his time, energy and financial support to a variety of charitable efforts throughout the greater Los Angeles area. 
In 2016, he founded the Justin Turner Foundation, whose mission is to support homeless veterans and children (and their families) battling life-altering illnesses. This past offseason, Turner hosted his 3rd annual Justin Turner Golf Classic in his efforts to support the Dream Center's Veterans Program. Through his efforts, the Dream Center is able to house and mentor over 26 veterans and also recently opened its Women Veteran Program, which provides support, job & skill training, mentoring, outreach opportunities, classroom-based instruction, employment resources and benefit assistance at its 18-bed transitional housing program. 
Additionally, since its founding, the Justin Turner Foundation has provided over 10,000 toys and 2,000 bicycles to children in the Los Angeles area through its holiday giving efforts. Turner also partners with the 17Strong Foundation, founded by Ryan Teixeira and carried on by his family and loved ones, which is built on giving patients that are recovering from a life-altering illness a victory trip of their choice. Turner is also currently working with the Yokota Air Base in Fussa, Japan to help create a baseball league for U.S. military children whose parents are serving in the military. 
During his time with the club, Turner has been an ardent supporter of the Dodgers’ community efforts, from volunteering at youth clinics and soup kitchens to serving as spokesman for Vision to Learn, a partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation that provides free eye exams and glasses to schoolchildren in underserved communities. He’s also been the Dodgers’ player representative in support of MLB programming, including Play Ball and National PLAY Campaign events. Turner serves as the spokesman for the club’s Military Appreciation Night and when the Dodgers honor a Military Hero of the Game each night, Turner can be found next to the dugout rail, greeting the service man or woman to present them with an extra-memorable experience. Additionally, each year he’s been with the Dodgers, Turner has supported AM 570’s annual Radio-a-Thon by appearing in studio and taking pledges to raise money for the Paralyzed Veterans of America on Veterans Day. 
"Being nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award is not something that I take lightly, and I’m extremely proud and honored to be included among this special group of nominees from around the league,” said Dodger third baseman Justin Turner. "My wife Kourtney and I realize how blessed we are to have this platform, and are determined to use it to give back to the community and fans that have been so supportive of us.”
This evening will also feature a Bootcamp Ticket Package at Dodger Stadium. Folks who ordered the special ticket package can participate in a an exciting 50-minute, full-body, fat burning, fun workout led by Peter Kraus after the game. This will be Peter's only appearance in Los Angeles in 2018. If not already sold out go here for information.
