Spencer Turnbull Stats

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (elbow) took the mound to face live hitters on Monday. This marks the second time that the right-hander has thrown batting practice this spring. The 30-year-old appears to be getting closer to making his Spring Training debut. It sounds like Turnbull has fully recovered his Tommy John surgery that forced him to miss all of the 2022 season. Turnbull was great during his nine starts in 2021 before undergoing surgery. The hope is that Turnbull returns to his 2021 form, which would quickly make him a popular fantasy option.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery last July. While there had been speculation that he could make a return to the majors in late 2022, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch recently put a rest to that scenario. Hinch told the media on Wednesday that Turnbull will not pitch in 2022. He stated that Turnbull would have needed to be rushed in order to make one or two starts in September and that type of approach wouldn't have been worth it for either Turnbull or the team.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery and won't pitch again this season. The starter was previously placed on the 10-day injured list on June 5. He was later transferred to the 60-day injured list on July 7. It's unfortunate news for both the Tigers and fantasy managers, as the right-hander was in the midst of a breakout season. In nine starts spanning 50 innings, Turnbull had pitched to a 2.88 ERA and a 2.95 FIP while striking out 44 batters and walking just 12. Because it's Tommy John surgery, you can cut him in redraft leagues, and he'll likely miss at least half of the 2022 season as he rehabs.
