Detroit Tigers Minor League Notes

In addition to promoting Spencer Turnbull to Triple-A Toledo, the Tigers promoted Matt Manning to Double-A Erie. With Daniel Norris making a rehab start earlier this week, the Tigers are expecting him to return to the big leagues in September. The team also expects JaCoby Jones to make his return this week.

Another prospect making splashes has been Matt Hall. He’s been impressing with his ‘spin rate’ while playing for Double-A Erie and Jason Beck writes he could get a September call-up. Over at Minor League Ball, the site is tracking the top prospects from the 2018 draft.
