The Toronto Blue Jays announced that they have made a couple roster moves which involve Paxton Schultz and Spencer Turnbull.
Fans have been wondering over the last few days what would happen with Turnbull after a few terrible starts in Triple-A which led many to believe that they would end up releasing him instead of bring him up which they had to do because of a clause in his contract.
Blue Jays option Paxton Schultz and call up Spencer Turnbull
The Blue Jays announce this evening that they have called up Spencer Turnbull from Triple-A and have consequently sent Paxton Schultz back down to Triple-A.
ROSTER MOVES:
RHP Spencer Turnbull has been recalled from Triple-A

The #BlueJays have activated RHP Spencer Turnbull, after his 35-day window to ramp up ended. Paxton Schultz to AAA.
We'll see what role Turnbull begins in.

#BlueJays announce that they've called up Spencer Turnbull. Paxton Schultz has been optioned.
Turnbull has been working to get his velocity back up and has posted a 7.13 ERA over 5 starts in the minors.

The other side of this is that Schultz has been unreal for the Blue Jays since being called up as he had a 3.06 ERA in 17.2 innings pitched and did not deserve to get optioned.
It will be interesting to see how Turnbull pitches in his first appearance with the Blue Jays.
Was bringing up Spencer Turnbull the right move by the Blue Jays?
