Returning to mound at Triple-A Turnbull (toe) is listed as Thursday's scheduled starter for Triple-A Toledo, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Turnbull hasn't pitched in more than three weeks because of a cracked toenail but appears ready to give it a go Thursday. It's been a lost season for the right-hander, as injuries have limited Turnbull to 52.1 innings and he's struggled both in the majors (7.26 ERA) and minors (6.75 ERA).

Suffers toe injury Turnbull didn't make his scheduled turn through the rotation at Triple-A Toledo this week after Tigers manager A.J. Hinch relayed Saturday that the right-hander is dealing with a c...

Impact Toledo hasn't placed Turnbull on its 7-day injured list, and Hinch relays that Turnbull should get back on the mound "any given day." Turnbull was recently activated from the Tigers' 60-day IL after recovering from a neck injury and completing a six-start rehab assignment. He made the last four of those starts with Toledo, posting a 7.71 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in 16.1 innings.

Activated and optioned The Tigers activated Turnbull (neck) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Turnbull's 30-day rehab assignment window closed on a low note Tuesday, with the right-hander striking out five but giving up three earned runs on six hits and two walks over 3.2 innings in his start with Toledo. Overall, Turnbull compiled a 6.75 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB over 21.1 innings in his six starts between Toledo and High-A West Michigan. The Tigers already have a full rotation, so unless injuries test the big club's pitching depth, Turnbull will need to show improved performance over his next few outings at Toledo to get another look in Detroit.

Not sharp in final rehab outing Turnbull (neck) allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five across 3.2 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit F...

Impact Turnbull made his sixth and final rehab appearance but the results weren't impressive. Across his last two outings, he's allowed nine earned runs across 8.2 innings, though he has maintained a 10:3 K:BB in that span. Given those results, it's possible that the Tigers opt to activate Turnbull and then option him to Toledo with the hopes that he can regain his top form.

Final rehab start on tap Turnbull (neck) will make his sixth and final rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Turnbull has been sidelined since May with a neck injury but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. He has not pitched well on his rehab assignment, though, particularly since moving up to Toledo where he holds a 7.82 ERA in three starts. It would not seem to be a given that Turnbull joins the Tigers' rotation once his rehab window expires.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bullpen and rehab scheduled Turnbull (neck) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact In his first two Triple-A rehab starts he allowed five earned runs in 7.2 innings. Turnbull is still ramping up his workload as he continues to make strides to a return, but with a 7.23 ERA in the majors this season, it remains in question whether the Tigers will make room in the rotation for him.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fourth rehab start coming Wednesday Turnbull (neck) is scheduled to make his fourth rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Turnbull will be making his second straight appearance with Toledo after he made his first two rehab starts at High-A West Michigan. In his first outing at Triple-A on Friday, Turnbull covered 3.1 innings and tossed 56 pitches while giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk. After Wednesday's outing, Turnbull should be stretched out enough for something close to a normal starter's workload, but it's unclear if the Tigers will make room for him in the rotation. Before landing on the injured list in May with the neck injury, Turnbull compiled a 7.26 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in his seven starts with Detroit.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves rehab to Triple-A Turnbull (neck) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Impact The right-hander made a couple starts for High-A West Michigan, most recently covering three innings with two runs allowed and four strikeouts. He's been cleared to jump up the ladder to Toledo, which leaves Turnbull just one step away from a return to the majors. Turnbull got off to a rough start in his return from Tommy John surgery (7.26 ERA), but he figures to get one last chance to prove himself in the Detroit rotation.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Works three innings Sunday Turnbull (neck) made his second rehab start Sunday for High-A West Michigan, covering three innings and allowing two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out four.

Impact After tossing two scoreless frames for West Michigan in his first rehab start last Tuesday, Turnbull worked a little longer Sunday and was mostly effective during the 34-pitch outing, with a two-run first-inning home run representing the only damage against him. Expect the Tigers to transfer Turnbull's rehab assignment to Double-A Erie or Triple-A Toledo later this week as he continues to get stretched back out following a lengthy layoff due to a neck injury. The Tigers wouldn't appear to have room in the rotation for Turnbull at the moment, but that could change quickly if Detroit moves Eduardo Rodriguez and/or Michael Lorenzen ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

JULY 24, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Set to begin rehab assignment Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Turnbull (neck) will make rehab starts Tuesday and Sunday with High-A West Michigan, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Turnbull has been facing live hitters for more than a week and will now begin the process of getting stretched back out while he heads out of the farm for a pair of rehab starts. The right-hander has been sidelined since early May with a neck injury, so he'll likely be in store for a relatively slow buildup. He's expected to cover two innings Tuesday and three Sunday before likely moving his rehab assignment to Double-A Erie or Triple-A Toledo the following week. Prior to being shelved, Turnbull compiled a 7.26 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in seven starts with Detroit and had been optioned to Triple-A, so he won't be guaranteed a spot in the big-league rotation once he's formally activated from the 60-day injured list.

Looks good in live BP Turnbull (neck) threw a 20-22 pitch live batting practice session Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Turnbull's velocity was up a bit during the throwing session and he came out of it with no issues. The right-hander will have another live BP session next week and could be ready for a rehab assignment not long after that.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for live batting practice Turnbull (neck) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact On the heels of another successful bullpen session Wednesday, Turnbull will advance to facing live hitters. He would appear to be closing in on a rehab assignment after needing a 60-day IL stint because of this neck issue, following a lost year due to Tommy John surgery. Turnbull has struggled to a 7.26 ERA this season, but he's shown that he can be effective when healthy and the Tigers will presumably give him another chance to prove himself in the starting rotation.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws full bullpen session Turnbull (neck) threw a 21-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Turnbull mixed in all of his pitches in what he deemed his first "real bullpen" session since he went on the injured list back in mid-May with a neck injury. "The neck feels fine," Turnbull said, "but it's building up arm strength and figuring out the timing. Doesn't feel too bad." There remains no timetable for Turnbull's return, but Wednesday's session was a significant step.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mound workout Saturday Turnbull (neck) is scheduled to throw off a mound Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It will be his first mound workout since he landed on the injured list in early May because of a neck injury. There's no exact timetable yet for Turnbull's activation from the 60-day IL and he's likely to require a lengthy minor-league rehab stint, but the 30-year-old right-hander seems to finally be headed in a positive direction.

JUNE 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing throwing work Turnbull (neck) is on track to begin a throwing program next week, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Turnbull has been limited to strength and conditioning work since he went on the major-league IL in early May due to a neck injury, but he's about ready to take a big step. The 30-year-old right-hander had originally been optioned to Triple-A Toledo before the injury was revealed, so he might be in for a lengthy minor-league rehab stint.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to 60-day IL The Tigers transferred Turnbull (neck) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Turnbull landed on the 15-day injured list May 12 (retroactive to May 7) and has yet to resume throwing. The move to the 60-day IL will keep him out until closer to the All-Star break and open a spot on the 40-man roster for Nick Solak, who was claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for strength work Turnbull (neck) was cleared Tuesday to begin upper-body strength and conditioning work, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Turnbull got the go-ahead to increase his level of activity after undergoing a checkup MRI on Monday. He's been on the injured list since May 12 due to neck discomfort and still has a lot of hurdles to clear before he can be an option again for the Tigers' starting rotation.

Impact Multiple MRI scans have shown that Turnbull's neck has been healing, just very slowly. He's scheduled for another MRI in two weeks, at which point the Tigers will re-evaluate the situation and determine whether or not he can begin a throwing program. Turnbull has been on the IL with neck discomfort since May 12.

Impact Turnbull was injured before he got sent out to Triple-A earlier this week, thus the procedural move to recall him and placed him on the major-league IL. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, though he could immediately be returned to Toledo once he completes his rehab.
