Detroit Tigers pitcher Spencer Turnbull (neck) has been cleared to throw a touch-and-feel bullpen session later this week as he works his way back from a neck injury.

Tommy Bell here, back in another pinch-hitting role after my return from hiatus on Monday. Admittedly, it was a less-than-ideal showing.

Do These Prospects Matter In Fantasy Baseball? Termarr Johnson, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Dalton Rushing, Jake Bennett

Every season in Minor League Baseball and dynasty fantasy baseball, there are "pop-up" prospects. These prospects are guys that explode on the scene without previous reputation.

PROSPECT: Colt Keith, 3B, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: Even though he's currently at Double-A, it wouldn't surprise me to see Colt Keith up with Detroit sooner rather than later.

On a recent episode of "Rates and Barrels," Eno Sarris and Derek Van Riper discussed the idea of a pull rate "goldilocks" range where fantasy baseball hitters are pulling enough to make meaningfully hard contact but also not pulling too much to hit fly outs and rollover ground balls. In the discussion, they suggested that […]
