2025 Fantasy Outlook
Turnbull was one of the top adds in fantasy baseball early on last season after he got off to a fantastic start with Philadelphia, posting a 1.67 ERA and 0.84 WHIP over his first six starts (32.1 innings). Everyone including the Phillies knew it wouldn't last long and the team preemptively moved him to the bullpen despite his success. While well intended, the move to shorten Turnbull up didn't exactly work out since he went down with an injury before the end of June anyway. When he first suffered the oblique injury, he downplayed it, but Turnbull never it made back to a big-league mound. At this point the health issues may be insurmountable. The right-hander missed the better part of two years after Tommy John surgery and subsequent setbacks. Now 32, he has totaled 135.1 innings in the majors over the past four seasons.

Knocked around in defeat
Turnbull (1-1) picked up the loss after throwing two innings, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two during Friday's 7-1 loss to the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Turnbull got the chance to start Friday after a shoulder injury to Bowden Francis landed Francis on the injured list. It didn't go too well for the 32-year-old Turnbull, who could only make it through two innings in his third outing of the year. He's not quite stretched out as a starter currently, and after a rough performance against the White Sox, it remains to be seen how the Blue Jays will handle this spot in the rotation the next time it comes up.

After missing the whole 2022 season following Tommy John surgery, Turnbull made his return in 2023 but struggled to ever get on track. The veteran righty was limited to just 15 total starts in the majors and minors combined as he dealt with neck and toe injuries. When healthy, Turnbull didn't perform particularly well, turning in a 7.26 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 31 innings for the Tigers. He only struck out 24 batters as well and his fastball was down a few ticks from when he last pitched in 2021. Turnbull was non-tendered by Detroit in November, meaning he'll now likely find a new home for the first time in his professional career. With the 31-year-old still trying to find his form following his surgery, he'll probably have to settle for a minor-league deal and will have to work his way into an MLB rotation. Turnbull had some success earlier in his tenure with Detroit, but at this point, he is off the fantasy radar until further notice.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Interest from Texas?
According to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Turnbull, who finished the season on the injured list due to a lat injury, could be targeted by the Rangers in free agency.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old was a key rotation piece for the Phillies early in the season, but he was shifted to the bullpen after seven starts and missed the final three months of the campaign due to the lat strain. Turnbull was more effective as a starter with a 1.78 ERA across 35.1 innings, but his consistent injury issues likely prevent him from being viewed as a full-time starter. Still, he could provide value as a swingman for teams in need of rotation depth, like the Rangers.
