Jacob Turner News
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jacob Turner made his return to the Tigers, the team he was selected by in the first round of the MLB draft in 2009. Turner has bounced around the league since, and his return to the Tigers was anything but a triumphant homecoming. Turner allowed seven runs (five earned) in just one inning of work on Tuesday, and it's safe to say he doesn't belong anywhere near a fantasy baseball lineup.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jacob Turner will replace Mike Fiers, who was traded to the A's on Monday, in the starting rotation. Turner will be making his first start for the team since 2012. In 80 innings at Triple-A this year, Turner has gone 3-4 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and weak 6.5 K/9. He's made 22 appearances, with 11 being starts. It's safe to say Turner won't be a great fantasy option in any format.
Jacob Turner will be designated for assignment today to make room for Edwin Jackson, who is scheduled to start for the Nationals in Anaheim. The move comes amidst several that were instigated by the trades of Blake Treinen and two prospects for Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson. It's been quite a ride for Turner, who was selected with the ninth overall pick of the 2009 draft by the Tigers. Turner pitched mostly out of the pen for the Nats over 39 innings with a 5.08 ERA and a 1.487 WHIP.
