Spencer Turnbull To Make Two Rehab Starts This Week
1 year agoDetroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull (neck) will make minor-league rehab starts for High-A West Michigan on Tuesday and Sunday this week, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Turnbull will take the next step in his rehab after facing live hitters for a week. The 30-year-old will most likely need several more rehab starts after this week to build up his arm since he's been sidelined since early May. After his two starts for West Michigan this week, the Tigers will most likely move him to either Double-A Erie or Triple-A Toledo. Turnbull won't be guaranteed a starting-rotation spot in Detroit when he's healthy, as he was 1-4 with a rough 7.26 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 31 innings over seven starts before his injury.
