Cleveland — The open date is sitting there, kind of ominously — April 19.
The Tigers will have just completed a 10-game road trip through Cleveland, Houston and Oakland, with a stretch of 20 games in 21 days coming after the day off.
And right-handed starter Spencer Turnbull could be close to returning to the rotation.
Will that be roster-shuffling Monday?
Too soon to call it.
“Spencer is going to need to do a few things before that,” manager AJ Hinch said.
Turnbull, who is on the non-baseball (COVID-19) injured list, reported for duty Friday at the Tigers’ alternate site in Toledo and soon he will start throwing competitive innings, either in a simulated game or in a game against another alternate site.
