The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled right-hander Spencer Turnbull from Triple-A Buffalo as part of a roster move involving Paxton Schultz. Turnbull, who signed a one-year deal with the team, had previously been optioned to the minors to rehabilitate after missing Spring Training. After struggling in his rehab appearances, his recall was anticipated due to the nearing end of his option period. Turnbull, with a history of injuries, had shown promise last season with the Phillies, suggesting potential value for the Blue Jays in a struggling pitching staff.
Despite shaky rehab outings, the addition of Turnbull should provide a stabilizing force for a Jays pitching staff in need of reinforcements.
The righty had an up-and-down career over five years with the Tigers but flashed quality mid-rotation potential when healthy.
