Should there be a comma in these sentences?

Should there be a comma in these sentences? What are the rules for when a comma should or should not be used after an introductory phrase?

Fronted sentence adverbials are normally separated off with a comma. Both of your sentences really need the comma, although occasionally a short adverb can remain clear without it.
