Iowa Cubs Release Former Alabama Pitcher Spencer Turnbull: Roll Call

Former Alabama baseball pitcher Spencer Turnbull was released by the Triple-A Iowa Cubs on Monday.

Reporting from Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register indicated that Turnbull opted out of his minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs organization after six starts at Triple-A.

The 32-year-old Turnbull has had a difficult go of it in the 2025 season.

He was a free agent through spring training and the start of the regular season before being signed by the Toronto Blue Jays in early May.

He was called up to the major leagues and then designated for assignment a little more than two weeks later after just three appearances with the big-league team.

Chicago inked Turnbull to a minors deal on July 12.

Iowa activated him on July 27.

In 6.1 MLB innings this year, he's worked to a 7.11 earned run average.

He's had a number of injury problems over the last several seasons, including in 2024, when he was pitching well for Philadelphia before going on the injured list with a lat strain in June of that year.

He would miss the rest of the season and hasn't experienced much in the way of good fortune on the hill since.
