Former Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull was recalled by the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday and is on the verge of making his 2025 debut. Turnbull signed with the Jays last month after a prolonged wait in free agency that stretched into the regular season.

Bo Bichette hit a two-run homer, Myles Straw and Tyler Heineman each had two hits and three RBIs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Philadelphia 9-1, handing the slumping Phillies their sixth loss in seven games.

Signed to reinforce Toronto's starting pitching depth, Turnbull has been working his way back to a major-league workload after finishing 2024 on the injured list with a lat strain and failing to latch with a team as spring training opened.

Over the last two weeks, the Phillies have a 3-9 record and have been swept twice by NL Central teams in the Brewers and Pirates. Their only wins over that time came twice against the Braves in a series win and in the series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Around a month ago, the Blue Jays believed that something was different about them compared to the incredibly disappointing 2024 season. They insisted it was a feeling they had about this team that set them apart.

Right-hander Spencer Turnbull has been recalled from triple-A Buffalo, the team announced Sunday. To make room for Turnbull on the roster, Paxton Schultz was optioned to triple-A.

The Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly denying trade inquiries on their star shortstop but he likely will be on the move in another sense.
