Turner signed a contract with the KIA Tigers of the KBO on Monday, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner spent most of the 2018 season in the minors, posting a combined 3.98 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 104 innings with Triple-A Toledo and New Orleans. He struggled during his brief time in the majors, finishing with a 20.25 ERA and 3.75 WHIP across 6.2 innings with the Marlins and Tigers.

Turner elected to become a free agent following the conclusion of the 2018 season, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner only appeared in five games at the big-league level this season, recording a disastrous 20.25 ERA and 3.75 WHIP with a 3:6 K:BB in 6.2 innings. The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Tigers in August after being released by Miami earlier in the campaign. He will look to find a new home this winter.

The Tigers won't call up Turner from Triple-A Toledo to start Sunday's game against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner had been scheduled to fill the opening in the rotation created by Blaine Hardy's (elbow) placement on the 10-day disabled list, but the Tigers apparently had a late change of heart. Rather than bringing in Turner, who was lit up for seven runs (five earned) over one inning in his lone start with the big club Aug. 7, the Tigers will start Buck Farmer on Sunday in what amounts to a bullpen game.

Turner will be called up to start Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Zach McAllister was designated for assignment to make room for Turner, who will return for his second start with the Tigers this season. Turner only went one inning in his first start earlier this month, allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits. A top-10 overall pick in 2009, Turner has managed just a 5.6 K-BB percentage in 369 career innings at the big-league level.

Turner cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Turner will report to the Mud Hens after passing through waivers untouched. The 27-year-old struggled mightily in his lone appearance for the Tigers this season, allowing seven runs (five earned) through just one inning of work. He'll continue to serve as organizational pitching depth.

Turner was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Turner was removed from the roster to make room for new signing Zach McAllister. He appeared just once for the Tigers, getting blown up for seven runs in a one-inning start. His 5.37 career ERA would seem to make him an unlikely candidate to be claimed off waivers.

Turner (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Turner found himself in trouble right out of the gate, allowing singles to the first two batters before yielding a three-run shot to Shohei Ohtani. In all, the first eight batters of the game reached safely, and going back to his last time out with the Marlins in April, it was Turner's second straight outing of at least five earned in just one inning of work. Despite the difficult debut with his new club, Turner figures to get an extended look in the rebuilding Detroit pitching staff down the stretch. Next on tap is a home start against the White Sox on Monday.

Turner had his contract purchased from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. He is starting against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Turner will join the Tigers ahead of his 2018 big-league debut. The 27-year-old, who owns a combined 5.26 ERA across seven major-league seasons split between five different teams, figures to get an extended look in Detroit's starting rotation down the stretch.

Turner will have his contract purchased from Triple-A Toledo and will start Tuesday's game against the Angels, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner is slated to take Mike Fiers' (shin) spot in the rotation after the latter was traded to the A's, though it's unclear if he'll stick in the rotation beyond Tuesday's outing. The 27-year-old has failed to find much success at the major-league level since making his MLB debut in 2011, posting a combined 5.26 ERA across seven seasons split between five different teams. Turner owns a 4.01 ERA across 11 starts with the Mud Hens this season.

Turner agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Wednesday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic Detroit reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being released by the Marlins earlier this month, Turner will return to the organization that selected him in the first round of the 2009 first-year player draft. The right-hander reached the big leagues in his age-20 season but has never joined much sustained success over parts of seven campaigns in the majors, posting a 5.26 ERA for his career. He'll likely act as little more than a long-relief option or depth starter for Triple-A Toledo in his reunion with Detroit.
