Turnbull left Friday's 9-8 loss to the Chicago White Sox after four innings. He threw 56 pitches before exiting.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said the initial diagnosis on Turnbull is positive, but he has to undergo further testing.

The 28-year-old is 4-2 this season with a 2.88 ERA, 0.980 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 50 innings. He pitched a no-hitter last month against the Seattle Mariners.
