Detroit Tigers call-up Niko Goodrum, shift Spencer Turnbull to 60-day IL

The best-case scenario for Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull is an early August return — a much different assumption than manager AJ Hinch presented Sunday, when he said Turnbull reported "no problems" after throwing a bullpen in Lakeland, Florida.

But Turnbull had a setback in his throwing program. He is recovering from a right forearm strain, which sent him to the 10-day injured list June 5. The Tigers transferred the starting pitcher to the 60-day injured list Wednesday as part of a slew of roster moves.

"He's still feeling symptoms," Hinch said Wednesday.
