The Detroit Tigers learned the hard way that sometimes math isn’t always easy. On Sunday, the team had announced Jacob Turner was scheduled to start against the Minnesota Twins. There was only one problem- Turner wasn’t eligible to be called up until the bigs until August 22nd. The Tigers had previously DFA’d Turner on August 10th.
