Spencer Turnbull exited the game after 36 pitches due to feeling a 'little grab' in his right shoulder. Initially planned to pitch around 70, Turnbull will undergo further evaluation on Thursday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated that Turnbull is expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks and will be carefully managed. In his absence, Michael Mercado will move from the bullpen to fill the fifth spot in the rotation. Gregory Soto entered the game after Turnbull's exit. There is no timeline for Taijuan Walker's return as he has not yet tested his splitter. Yunior Marte is expected to return to the roster.
thomson- wheeler stuff was good. threw the ball well. it's baseball it happens. very uncharacteristic with stream who's won of the best guys we've got with inherited runners. one of this night when didn't execute pitches.
As Spencer Turnbull heads to the injured list, Michael Mercado will fill the fifth spot in the rotation. https://t.co/kpvVycQgYr
Rob Thomson indicated Spencer Turnbull is going to miss 6 weeks, maybe 8. They will be careful with him. Michael Mercado is out of the bullpen tonight, but he will go into the rotation. No timeline for Taijuan Walker, who hasn't tested his splitter yet. @KYWNewsradio https://t.co/qJ0BpCs47l
What’s the one silver lining of Spencer Turnbull hitting the IL? @BobCooney76 and @RayDunne975 get their favorite Phillie Yunior Marte back on the roster 🎥 Colin Newby | @ToNewbyginnings https://t.co/9SJaaG1yVL
If Spencer Turnbull is going to miss time due to injury, what should the #Phillies do about their 5th spot in the rotation? Note--we don't know Turnbull's status A-Start Michael Mercado B-Wait for Taijuan Walker to Return C-Make a Trade for a SP https://t.co/pVmQhe1lNm
Spencer Turnbull felt "a little grab" in his right shoulder on his second-to-last pitch in the third inning. He will undergo further evaluation Thursday, but he didn't appear to be concerned. He joked that he can't seem to stay healthy in Detroit.
thomson- Turnbull miss some time? don't know yet. before he came out? thought he was good. hr to veering but other than that- thought he was good. slider was good. fine.
It appears as if something has happened to Spencer Turnbull because he's out of the game after 36 pitches in three innings. Phillies had planned for around 70. Gregory Soto enters in the fourth.
